Kickin’ Cancer

Our technician, Darren, is a survivor. He was treated for Hodgkins about 8 years ago, and is very involved in Relay for Life. He asked us if we would help him make a quilt for auction, so naturally – we said yes! The theme this year is “Give Cancer the Boot.”

Meet Dress Upcycle Challenge Winner Erin Walker!

It’s hard to believe my stroll into Beatnik Betty’s would turn out like this!! When BERNINA staff suggested I send a picture of my sewing room, I actually laughed out loud. My sewing room consists of an overcrowded and un-organized craft closet, and an old table my 2-year-old uses for crafts in our office/playroom!

This is my favorite way to organize my thread stash! I like that I can hang the racks or stand them on my cabinet. I have several: sewing thread, embroidery thread, and serger thread. The June Taylor Mega-Rak II holds 120 spools!

I am over the moon over TAP! Transfer Artist Paper! It’s the best method for transferring images to anything!!! Check out Virtual BERNINA Club at Participating Dealer Stores in April to see what I’ve done with it.

I love BERNINA Embroidery Software 6 for many different reasons, but one of my favorites is the ability to preview fabrics on an appliqué design before even sewing one stitch.
