October's Activities

We had a great month in October . The first 2-day seminar was by Dakota Collectibles,  Educator Virginia Hankins. We used  the software, AlphaSizer, to build our design on a gift bag which was completly stitched in the hoop. We had a great time and it everyone loved the project.

Last week we enjoyed Suzanne Shelton, "Olivia Anne Designs" 2-day seminar. The first day was an introduction to applique. The second day we did "Nelson", which was an appliqued pumpkin. We now have all Suzanne's books, appliques and kits. The great thing about Olivia Anne's Designs are that they are ready to stitch, no fusing of parts, no fuss or mess. Her appliques are great for quilts, wall hangings, purses, and sweatshirts. As a teacher, Suzanne was very thorough and patient. Everyone had fun and finished their project.

Sew Bizz will invite Suzanne back for another "Intro to Applique" in January 2010. Then in February, we will begin the "The Barnyard Quilt" as a hand's on class. We will take the first eight people. Each month we will have a new block to work on. So hurry and sign up. You will not want to miss her class.

New Fall Fabrics

Fall is finally here! We want  you to see some of the new exciting fabrics for fall that we got at market. Come so you can touch and feel the wonderful quality of Fabric Finders 60" goods.

We just got back from the Heirloom Market this past weekend. We have so many new products, don't wait to come and see them. New pattern lines, new fall fabrics and much more!

BERNINA DESIGNER PLUS V6.0/CORELDRAW ESSENTIALS

We just got back from Berninia training on the new Designer Plus V6.0 Software. And it is truley a "WOW"! You have got to see it to believe how EASY it really is. The applique is so fast and quick, the new way you can move the fonts off the base line -COMPLETLY- is great, and the new fill stitches look great. Oh and the stippling with borders is a must for Quilters. And speaking of quilters, you will love making new patterns to embroider in your blocks!

Be sure to check the calendar for the date and time for the free seminar on next Wednesday. We are so excited and we know you will be too!

Loving all the NEW software,

New Links and New Wish List

Today a new link page has been added. Several of these links are just fun, most have free designs and some will lift you to a higher place. So much of sewing is a learning experience, especially a trial and error method, so a day without a new wrinkle in our brain is a day wasted.

Thank goodness a place that wrinkles won't be used against us!



Also, if you have created an account, you more than likely saw the wish list. Guess what, I too, have found it! When I created the website, I put everything that was important to most of us and the wish list was part of that. Who knew I'd forget? So now that you know, use it as a way of keeping up with those notions you run out of, or a way to let your friends and spouse know it's getting close to your birthday. Hope this helps make life a little easier.

Happy Sewing
