New 8 Series Website

Friday, June 18th, 2010

Heart Banner

We all gush over the 8 Series machines from BERNINA, and owners of the 820 and 830 just adore the machines! I know not everyone has one at home – yet – but here’s an opportunity to learn more about the machine. Not only is the site useful for more information about the 8 Series, but it is also a great resource if you already own an 8 Series machine.

On the Test Drive page, you will find some short “how-to” videos for threading the machine. Also, on the left side of the page, you can download a simulator to your personal computer to really experience what working with an 8 Series machine is like. If you can do it in the simulator, you should be able to do it on the machine.

My favorite part of the new site is the Project Showcase on the Get Inspired page. Not only are the projects inspiring, but you can also download the instructions for each project!

Kaffe Fassett fabrics are here

Monday, June 7th, 2010

We are so excited to bring Kaffe Fassett fabrics to our customers! These new and vibrant designs will sure make a statement in any project.

Modern quilting is all the rage and these are the perfect fabrics for those types of quilts. The young girls who frequent our store have been drooling over these fabrics.

We are working on some store samples so you can see how to mix these fabrics with other fabrics from your stash.

Be sure to stop in and see the beauty of these fabrics  for yourself!

Christmas is coming!

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Christmas is coming and our holiday fabrics are beginning to arrive! I know two lines will hit the floor later this week. Be sure to stop in and check out “Fruitcake” by BasicGrey for Moda as well as Sentimental Studio’s “Woodland Holiday”. “Woodland Holiday” has some wonderful cardinals in their fabrics, and I know these are always a hit with our customers. For a sneak peek, check out the “What’s New” section of the website.

Unlike Santa, who gets to take a break in the summer months, quilters and sewers are frantically working on their Christmas projects.  As the heat and humidity of summer descends upon Fayetteville, we crank up our air conditioning to get in a cooler frame of mind!

As most of our regular customers know, our holiday fabrics usually don’t make their appearance until July, but this year we thought we’d give everyone a head start on their holiday projects! :-)
