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.”

My Favorite Thread Rack

Go Team!
BERNINA Cutwork Software makes it so quick and easy to add custom applique to a garment. We were on our way to the State Championship football game and in under one hour I appliqued the my son’s name and number on the back of our team sweatshirt – WOW!
