The Last Day of Bernina University 2010

Monday, July 12th, 5:00 p.m. ~ My classes are over and all I have left to do is go to the Closing Banquet. This is always a nice dinner, where I eat too much and usually still feel full in the morning.


Today I turned in all of my orders for the fun, new merchandise I have been checking out for the last few days. It is going to be like Christmas at the store for the next few weeks.

There are a couple of new things I want to let everyone know about. I will try to post these things in the email as well.

• OESD is bringing back the Holiday Promotion! This means that in September, October and November when you buy a certain amount (to be determined) of OESD product, you will receive a free holiday design pack. The ladies and I will be stitching out the new designs as soon as I get back.



• The new 3 Series machines will be introduced in August. When you test drive a 3 Series machine, you will be registered to win a 3 Series BMW. Pretty cool, isn't it?



• In the next few months there will be a lot of great opportunities to get a great deal on a new machine. Come in and see me if there is something you are interested in so I can get you the best possible deal

Today I got to sew on a the B380. It is going to replace the 240 in the current line. I had a great time making a little purse. Actually, I had so much fun that I am going to use all of the techniques I learned today and incorporate them into all of the clubs for the fall. We are always given a huge supply list for the hands-on classes that we take here. Today's class was the first time that I actually brought everything I needed for the project. Actually, the lady beside me had to borrow all of my stuff. I was happy to be the one that helped for a change.

Here is a picture of the little purse I made. It has a lot of fun techniques. I wouldn't have chosen the fabrics they did, but it was intended for a Next Gen (young) sewer, not a frumpy old lady like me.

I am actually getting a little homesick. I am ready to get home, see the hubby, pet the dog and get back to the store.

I will be back at the store on Thursday, even though I have it listed as "closed" on that day. I will probably just be in and out and reading my mail.

I hope to see everyone at the store soon.
