You Spin Me ‘Round
When I was recently working on a set of spring pillows, I wanted to have a simple one-color design with an oversized motif. My idea was to complement and tone down the brighter colors and complex piecing of the others in the set. We had just sold an 830E and with it went the Jumbo… Read more »
Springtime Table
Get your springtime table off to a happy start–be it for Easter, Mother’s Day, or everyday! I modified my Personalized Napkin project with spring colors and motifs in mind. These can instantly add life to any table.

We liked them both, but discovered that for a variety of reasons, we would go for a full dealership with BERNINA. One of the… Read more »
Quick Seasonal Decor
Want a quick way to decorate for the upcoming autumnal and holiday season? Choose a winsome phrase or snarky image, embroider, and simply display in an embroidery hoop.
