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.

Here is the stunning sample of what Mary L.* will be teaching in Gourmet Sewing Club this coming Thursday, November 11th from 10-2.

You know you want one.

What's stopping you?

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

I'm just saying.

Are you holding the phone?

What you see pictured here is the exquisite work of Sue Nickels: Quilting Celebrity, Applique Animal, Fabulous Feather(ed) Friend.

Since you are holding your phone, it will be really handy to dial us up (602-553-8350) and enroll in one (or both) of Sue's classes on the weekend of November 12th. Learn free-motion skills on Saturday the 13th in Whole Cloth Feathers and/or machine appliqued borders in Folk Garden Borders on Sunday the 14th. Both of these classes are a) from 11-5 and b) filling up fast.

Aren't you glad you're holding the phone?

Now use it, already!

Have you heard? We're going to Switzerland!! We are organizing a fabulous trip for next May where we will see ...

... white capped mountains and a Sewing Machine Factory Extraordinare! And just maybe ... if we're lucky ... we might bump into ...

... The Grandfather. We are having a "tell me all about it before I make my decision" evening -- this Friday from 6-8 p.m. down at the store. You know as well as I do that there is no harm at all in finding out.

Have you ever tasted Swiss Chocolate?? Enough said.
