Something for everyone

Recently we received a shipment of fabulous new fabrics from some of our favorite designers, Amy Butler, Philip Jacobs and Martha Negley. We can't wait to start using these wonderful fabrics in new projects. Here is a taste of the some of the new fabrics.
As you may know Wendy Fedie is no longer our Bernina manager. She didn't actually retire, she will be filling in in the Bernina department and teaching a class or two. Tracy Trevethan has joined us as the Bernina manager. She is no stranger to the Sampler, having worked here several years ago. Tracy is an accomplished quilter, teacher, and pattern designer. She is very familiar with Bernina sewing machines and will be able to answer all your questions. Look at the fun terry cloth slippers she embroidered the other day.
The Amazing Sewing Race began in January. We started in California and are now in Nevada. Everyone will be busy doing card trick blocks this month. Our small project this month was a fun punchcard holder. There is still time to join the race. The patterns are easy and the show and tell is fabulous. There is always something new at the Sampler, stop by and see us soon. Check our our website, http://www.the-sampler.com/ for all the latest. Mary
