Hectic Weekend



Well we've had a very busy weekend. Saturday after we closed the store we took a trip to visit with Patricks
parents in Baton Rouge. They seem to be doing fairly well. We found out that Patricks Dad will have knee surgery next week. Hopefully everything will go well.



On Sunday we stayed around the house and I done some embroidery and digitizing then went over to the store so Patrick could put up the new display for AccuQuilt Go.
Then Monday, Patrick went out to cut the grass and when he was doing the trimming with the weed eater he threw a rock and guess what happened just take a look at the picture. So I made him take care of the mess and call to see about getting it fixed.

After we got this all taken care of I was able to finish working on the Newsletter. It is now posted at http://www.quiltingniche.com/ under Newsletter.

Bernina Software


I've been having a lot of fun do some digitizing in my V6 Bernina Software in the past few days. I have imported a Fleur de lis graphic and was able to dizitize it in my software. In the past I never thought that I could do any digitizing but it is very fast and easy. So if I can do it, I know that you can do it also. Like my dad always told me there is no such word as "can't" because if you put your mind to it you can do anything. I will be having classes on doing digitizing in the software. Working on the class scedule for September, October, November and December. I also have Make and Take classes planned for the rest of the year into next year. Actually the Bernina Software will be on sale from September 3rd to Oct 31st. They will have about a $1000. savings on the software.

You won't be able to beat the price.
Till next time

New Camera




Couldn't find camera so while we were running errands I stopped in at Target and bought me a new camera so I can start posting pics. This is a good picture of Baby Girl Fancy. Picture on the left is one of my projects that I'm working on. It was stitched on 32 count linen using the Bernina 830. I digitized this design from a cross stitch pattern into the Bernina Software and then stitched it out. This is awesome. I will be posting more when I finish this project.
Take Care until next time

Getting Started

Thanks to Jamie for helping me get my blog up and running. I had computer problems last night and wasn't able to get on the web for some reason. Today was the day that we choose the Shop Hop winners and I will be calling them in the morning to let them know that they have won. Yes we have two winners from the Houma area. The person who won my store basket and our grand prize winner are both from Houma. I would have listed their names but would like to contact them first.
I will be closing my web site and only have the blog which I will be able to post more often. Pictures will be added along with what's new in the store. So stay tuned for a lot of inspiration, tips and techniques with a whole lot of fun.
