I actually DO have a Christmas quilt. It is the first quilt I’ve ever made. It, amazingly, won first place in our guild’s quilt show this year in the “My First Quilt” category. Of course, we only had 3 entries in this category, so…Anyway, I was thrilled, to say the least, because I expected it to be hung on a back row in a not-well-lit area due to the numerous mistakes. But, I do love it. It was so much fun to do this with others who were sewing together at the time, and it was a fabulous learning experience. So, it holds a special spot in my heart, for sure. Merry Christmas, everybody

I LOVE Bernina and all it stands for: Quality, Ease of use, and mostly
FUN FUN FUN!!!! That said, I was asked where I store my sewing projects and fabric? Answer: Under the bed in sliding plastic bins, in the ‘spare guest room’ (all over the bed and in plastic see-through bins, so I
know what is in there without opening them), and then–when we have a guest–in haul it out to the utility trailer and store it in there until the guest leaves. Merry Christmas, Everyone! -
Oh, I see that ya’ll were answering another question. Okay: Am I traveling for the Holidays? Hopefully I will not be traveling, but in one place, right next to my Bernina sewing machine and my Bernina surger!
Zipppidddyyyyydooodaah, THAT is living large! -
I am staying home this year, not travelling at all. My sons live in TX, MD, and NH, so bad weather conditions prevent us from getting together. That gives me extra time to sew, whether it’s finishing projects for this year, or starting early for next year. This year has been an exceptionally enjoyable year of completing projects for Software Inspirations, DesignWorks Decoded, and All About Embroidery on my new 880.
-
We will not be travelling for christmas as it is a special time for us to do nice things at home, including sewing & embroidery on my bernina for me & quilting for my husband. We do this while we hold our son who we lost in our hearts. Christmas is not a ‘chirpy’ time to everyone & we also look outside ourselves to someone who may also be finding christmas a difficult time for whatever reason. May your christmas be shared with kindness. Marie

And I love my Bernina Activa for all my quilting and regular sewing. Also may get to do some serging on my Bernina serger! I try to do some sewing every day, but at least get some done each week!
-
I am traveling to the cabin for the holidays, a very Minnesotan thing to do. When I bought my new Bernina my old non-Bernina became my cabin machine. I will miss the Bernina while there.
-
No travel. I’m waiting for my first ever Bernina to be delivered, so I can always sew, sew, sew.
-
No, I won’t be traveling for the holidays. I just got back from visiting my oldest son and his family and my other 2 children live here with me. I celebrate Christmas with my local church family. Our Christmas program is this Sunday evening at 6:30 pm in Mikado, MI.
-
I like to sew everyday, it makes my day a lot better. Love helping my girls with sewing projects. Sewing is just the best.
-
Looking forward to a quiet Christmas at home with my husband after all the hustle and bustle.
-
My TIP is to always keep always to keep projects in baggies with instructions visable. Having a shelf or bin to keep those projects together in 1 place is helpful
-
No traveling, our families are all nearby. Just getting together and enjoying great food & good converstations!! Everyone stay warm & healthy.
-
Traveling to Pensacola! About 10 hour drive but worth it.
-
First Christmas without my mom so not making the yearly Christmas trip to Ohio. Plan to get plenty of sewing on my Bernina done though ?
-
Going to Grandmother’s home. She is 92 as of December 12, 2016.
Simply family meal with few friends & family.
Happiest Holidays to ALL! -
Just travelled across the country to see the 3 younger grandchildren, and of course their parents, and will celebrate with the older grandchild and his mother who live near us. Just finished a crib quilt for a neighbor who will deliver any time now – maybe Christmas Eve!
-
I’m staying home, my local family is coming here. With a large family it would be hard to decide who to go visit.
-
Going to my sister’s house on Christmas eve, my brother’s house Christmas day afternoon and finally back to my home Christmas night. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
-
Traveling up north in Michigan, bringing the Bernina incase we get snowed in!

Nothe traveling but hope to enjoy some time sewing
-
We are staying home. Our kid and grand kids coming here. Can’t wait
-
Spent the last 2 days with my machine sewing, sewing, sewing.
-
I’m traveling downstairs to be with my granddaughter, son and daughter-in-law for Christmas! I’m so lucky to own a duplex and have them living down stairs!
Thank you for such a generous giveaway! Happy Holidays! -
No traveling this year. Everyone is complaining no to me this year. Won’t have to much time to sew. Going to start my new year sewing with friends though. I can hardly wait.
-
I just finished a sweet little apron for my granddaughter featuring Mini Mouse! My 330 made it so easy. Teaching my daughter in law to sew and someday will have to get a Bernina for her. 🙂
-
Not traveling this year. Plan on having a very Merry Christmas at home this year!
-
Going to make tamales with my mom first time ever. All of my berninas from the past are getting spiffed up as a Christmas present from my husband. A Bernett sewing machine, a bernette serger and my trusty Bernina 1700 from the 80’s.
-
I am not going out of town. I’m having all my children, grandchildren, great-grand children here. I’ve been in my sewing room for days making Christmas gifts. I love giving hand-made gifts with my Bernina 580.
-
No traveling, we are lucky enough to have family local and close.
-
I love the colors and designs of Kaffe Fassett and the simplicity of Riley Blake and a batik always temps me. My stash is filled with many fabrics from various designers and I love them all.
-
Beautiful Bernina 215 Machine. Would be fun to sew on!
-
I absolutely love Kaffe Fassett fabric….years ago I met him through knitting, so headed to the fabric store to find his fabric….no one knew his name….now we all love his designs!
-
We plan to be home for Christmas, but we went to our daughter’s home for Thanksgiving as she was close to having a baby. I did sew a baby blanket and hat for the new boy, and Christmas skirts for my daughters and their dolls on my 20+ year old Bernina 1030. I’m sold on the Bernina sewing machines and recommend them to anyone looking for a sewing machine. My daughters love the features of the Bernina – especially the No. 10 foot — not sure what foot it would be now-a-days. I agree: nothing sews like a Bernina!
-
My sewing room is my dining room, I have command hooks on the closet doors to hold all of my rulers. I have small plastic trays from Dollar Tree to keep my spools of threads organized next to my machine.I also have a tall 7 drawer cabinet with the drawers labeled that stores my embroidery threads and small sewing supplies. but the key is to put things back where they belong when done.
-
We are not traveling anywhere for the holidays this year but we are hoping that our children will be traveling home for the holidays!
-
I don’t usually make garments but I do make holiday table toppers and placemats! I’m going to my sisters for Thanksgiving. I plan on Christmas Eve with my children and Christmas day is at my brothers house I have two litters of puppies so I’m not going very far! They go to their new homes right after Christmas!
-
No, traveling to Texas in January to avoid the Holiday rush.
-
No, staying home to enjoy the fire.
-
So cute! Definitely making for my red lab named Buddy!
-
Most of family is traveling here,(Tucson) leaving me more time to work on my Bernina to finish their gifts.
-
We will be staying home for Christmas Day with one of our sons and his family, but taking day trips with them to have celebrations with my 90 year old mother and our other son and his family, topping it off with 4 of our grandchildren visiting until New Year’s and our annual New Year’s Eve party with them.
-
Traveling to Disney World before the holidays.. by the time we get back the holidays will be here.
-
We will be at home for Christmas so I will be volunteering at Christmas Eve services. We shall be entertaining a young cousin who’s a new nurse, as she’s far from her family. I have seen many gifts this holiday season but dread when my Bernina 880 needs to go in for service. It would be wonderful to have a back up machine.
-
traveling for the holidays just by staying home and visiting with friends
-
I am staying home and sewing. Going to church at midnight Christmas Eve.
-
Each Christmas we take turns with my son-in-law parents hosting my daughter, their wonderful son and much loved granddaughters. They fly cross country from Oregon usually arriving very late in the evening, hungry and tired from a full day of traveling. This year the grandchildren will each receive a Christmas quilt made By me on my Bernina 880 using Amanda Murphy’s Jubilee holiday reds and greens collection. the quilts turned out so beautiful.
-
No travels this year, because of Covid!☹️, but I will in my rv with my dogs and husband, and sewing machine!❣️
-
My favorite designer is TULA PINK! I am the proud owner of a Tula Pink series Bernina 570 QE sewing/embroidery machine which I purchased earlier this year. The unique design and colors highlighting my machine are beautiful. My 4 and 5 year old granddaughters are so in love with Unicorns and it delights me to sew their fairy tale dreams with the machine embroidery designs & beautiful fabric choices available from the Tula Pink range. I’m currently working on four different quilts: 2 African inspired for my 2 nieces who both did volunteer work with children in Africa; a Christmas embroidered quilt and a woodland/bear appliqué quilt for my grandson’s 1st birthday. All machine quilting on my new machine. Thank you Bernina & Tula Pink 🙂
-
I am not traveling, except to the quilt shops in the area to purchase supplies for next year’s quilt and embroidery projects. I am blessed to have my family within a few miles from home.

The family all travels to our house!

CHRISTMAS VACATION is a family tradition. We all laugh every year!
