Now in the store...

This new Cindy Taylor Oates pattern is fabulous...she designed these adorable items to be easy
and quick to sew so that you might actually make a little money selling them or you could quickly make a bunch of them for a party or church group or your friends. We just love it. And did you know she is one of our local honeybees? We really like to support local artisans, pattern makers, and fabric designers.

shop LOCAL!

You all tell us that you love that we are small, local, and woman-owned. You love our staff and always tell us how much you appreciate the warm atmosphere of the Bernina Connection. But did you know that for every $100 spent in locally owned independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures? Amazing, isn’t it? If you spend that in a national chain, only $43 stays here. Spend it online and nothing comes home. Read more about this here. We are excited to be joining the local consortium of small businesses call Local First AZ. Thanks for buying local. Thanks for supporting us...you make it so worthwhile for us! We love our community.

And hey...don’t forget...this week is REG Party!!! January 22nd from 10 am to noon...aaannnnd the new FLIP BOOK is out. Go see issue 29 here. We have so many exciting new classes for you!

It's not always what is under the tree you know ...

Sometimes it's what's on the tree that counts.

I'm just saying that there is more than one way to trim it, people.

(Ask about the special gift-card deals this season!)

~ stocking stuffers and stuffed stockings ~

Bring on the Fruitcake. We are ready for this Season to be Jolly!

~ A December to Remember ~

There is ...

NO denying it ...

Anymore.

The Holidays are happening, people.

Come on down and take a look at our Santa's Secret Shop wall to pick out all you need to stuff and wrap.

~ Black ... and White and Red ~

I'm not exactly sure when the day after Thanksgiving started being referred to as Black Friday, but around here, it's all about RED ... and making you feel in the PINK. This coming Friday (you may color it any way you choose) we will be having all of our Bernina Accessories on sale for a whopping 25% off ... plus ...

... there will be sales on machines that will delight the triptophan right out of you!

And if you are not looking forward to cooking ... there is more than one way to get some veggies into your life. I'm just sayin'.

See you Friday. And NOT at 4 a.m.. That's just mean.

Touchy ~ Feel-y ~ Look-ey

I'm not sure you can tell by the above picture, but these new fabrics by Shannon Fabrics just might bring a tear to your eye when you touch them. They are soft. They are plush. They are silky. They are pure luxury on a bolt.

They also just happen to be colorful and fun and project-inspiring.

And while we are talking color ... these buttons by Dill Buttons are just about as big as they look. They will make a statement on any project and that statement is this:

"The person who created me clearly has ... IT."

Hooray for Eight!!

Happy, Happy 8th Anniversary to ... US!! Eight short years ago Bernina Connection opened its doors and as a result, opened its heart to meet YOU.

Thank YOU for being the wonderful customers that you are. Thank YOU for hanging out at the BC and joining in, what can only be described as ... a rollicking good time.

Make sure to stop by our Anniversary Sale this Friday and Saturday where everything (with the standard exceptions) will be 25% off.

We just love the number 8.

Careful there ... if you actually salivate onto the keyboard, you might short it out.

I'm just saying.
