Chicago: BERNINA Univ, Meis van der Rohe and Naperville

July 12, 2018

I ended my Spring/Early Summer calendar on a high note, visiting Chicago for BERNINA University followed by a visit with my friend Catherine Redford. I had the best time! This was my first time to attend BERNINA U. Typically this event is for dealers-only but this year Ambassadors were invited, as BERNINA was celebrating its […]

May 4, 2017

Patsy Thompson’s Quilt Suspension System and a Beautiful Spring!

April 27, 2017

I received a note from a reader this week asking me about my experience using Patsy Thompson’s Quilt Suspension system-thank you for the note Betsy! I forgot that I had not written about my experience with Patsy’s system so I’m reporting in. The system is super simple and comes in 2 styles: System #1 ($94.99) […]
