WeAllSew Sew-a-thon for Animals in Need

Do you follow BERNINA's blog, We All Sew? If not, you should, as a ton of sewing inspiration and projects are shared there. Go to WeAllSew here.

This year, We All Sew will be challenging viewers with what they are calling "Sew To Serve". The first project involves sewing projects that are geared to helping out our furry friends.

BERNINA, as a big Thank You for your support to sew for animals in need, and in light of our first Sew to Serve post, will be gifting one BERNINA 325 to one WeAllSew reader that creates a sewn donation and shares it through the WeAllSew community section. Images of the sewn donations need to be uploaded to the WeAllSew community section by February 29, 2020. Any sewn donation for animals in need will be entered into the drawing. Go here to find out how to help (and win).

NEW FABRIC

You will be sure to love every bolt of this soft and serene collection, "A Walk On The Path". We have kits available for our sample quilt. Photos certainly do not do justice to this line - it is simply exquisite. Be sure to come in and check it out! Kits available

 

 

Fields of yellow and blue flowers, classic prints in sunny yellow, shades of blue, and crisp white. What comes to mind is soft, light, summer, sitting on the porch of a countryside cottage. Kits available.
