Bits and Pieces
March 20 , 2018
   
I was deep into my brain this morning (now, that alone can be a scary place to be!) trying to mentally write this newsletter, and the thought crossed my mind that I would be happy to have something interesting to talk about.  Voila!!!  The thought hit me hard:  what truly makes me happy?  Have you ever really thought about that?  I mean, beyond the platitudes of health, family, money to live on, certain foods, things like that?  Those things are all necessary in my definition of happiness, but dig a little deeper.  What, exactly, about health and family, makes you happy?  I can only answer this for myself, as you can only answer for yourself, and it can be an eye-opening discovery.  The common denominator, for me, of what makes me happy is love.  That feeling deep in my gut, the one that creates a smile, of sharing and reaching out, the warm and fuzzy that we all surely possess.  Our five basic senses of taste, smell, sight, hearing and touch do not include love, yet they all interplay with love and help create love.  Love can be felt, but can it be proven?  Is my definition of love different somehow from yours?  I need to ponder this more, I think, and I'd be very interested to know:  A)  What makes YOU happy  B) if love is an answer for you, how exactly would you define love?  It sounds like a gloss-over question, but I'm finding that it is not.  What do you think???  


Being "platitudiness" here, I can easily say that I love LeAnn's original class/camp of Photos To Quilts, Wed. through Friday.  It will be an enjoyable rich in learning camp, I'm sure.  Not taking the class but still interested?  Drop in and see what's going on, because I'm sure this will be a camp worth repeating, and with you in it!
 
Stitch and Sew with Barb T. is on Monday, and at a bargain price of only $10, open to anyone.  For those of you regularly in Mary's Judy Niemeier for Beginners class, and Angle Play, remember that these classes have been cancelled for this month.  


If you're taking Nature Calls, with Claudia, you can bring in your machines and get set up on Tuesday afternoon.  It's a two day camp, and we want you to be able to hit the ground running on Wed., the first camp day. 
 
BERNINA is still offering, with your purchase of a new machine, a 50% discount on the quilting and patchwork feet, the Ruler Kit, the BSR, as defined in the handout we have for you.  There are some exceptions, but the offer is still a great one!  


And we are offering you, on our Q'nique long arm machine, a very special March savings:  for only $4098 plus only 6.3% sales tax, you can get the 15R Q'nique long arm machine and SR2 frame, the Grace Starter kit, an additional pack of 10 needles, 3 extra bobbins, 1000m 40 wt. Glide thread, 20% off the Ruler Base, 20% off the 3 piece accessory foot kit (the hopping foot), and free shipping to your home in the area!  All for $4098!!!  Such a great deal:  we want you to love your Q'nique, love SVQ, love our service, love our personal attention to you and your desires, love BERNINA, love our huge array of batiks, patterns, threads, and more.   


We would love to be your quilt shop of choice, and know that you know that, while we have a business to run, we try to always put your interests first.  We're here for you!  On our big ticket items, we will do our level best to match you with the right machine, table, chair, cutting table and more to suit YOU.  We can offer that personalized shopping experience and we'll be happy doing so. 


Our $6 panel of the week will be the giant Easter Bunny pictured here.  We have lots of coordinating fabrics to go along with him, like jelly beans, colored eggs, spring florals, brights and pastels.  Great for wall hangings, welcome quilts on the door, pillow cases.......and time to get them made before Easter on April 1!!!!!
 
Our special color of the week will be blue, since I woke up this morning thinking how much I love looking at the blue sky!  Get an additional 15% off fabrics from the bolt containing the color blue when you tell us that you know what the special color is.  And of course, continue to rack up your Loyalty Points with us and get $10 to use with us for every 200 points from fabric, books, notions etc.  that you collect.  We love talking with you, sharing ideas, show-and-tells which we post on our Facebook page for all to see, and in general, just being here for you.  These things make US happy, and we hope to see you soon!
