Roxie’s Ramblings
Is anyone else as surprised as I am to be reading the fall newsletter already? It’s hard to believe
that summer is almost over but we have an exciting fall planned! Our bus trip to Grand Rapids, MI to
the AQS Quilt Show will be in the books by the time you read this (or very close to it). Jess and I are
excited to be heading to Utah to a Kimberbell certified shop reunion in September, where I’m sure
we’ll be coming back with lots of new ideas. A little birdie told me that we’ll be doing a live video feed
from there and will be bringing home a great gift basket for one lucky winner. You’ll need to keep up
with Facebook to find out when and how to win! In good ol’ Kimberbell fashion it will be great!
We have an exciting line up of classes for you, plus some old favorites. We have not one but two
national educators that are coming to Red-Roxy so be sure not to miss those. The ever popular Shelly
Fitzgerald will be making a return visit with THREE learning opportunities for our BERNINA
enthusiasts. Lori Kennedy will be teaching free motion stitching, Lori style. I attended her class at
BERNINA University and it was sew fun to discover new patterns to try. The ever popular bag classes
are making a comeback starting in December with new patterns and possibly some old favorites.
Have you seen the new Tula Pink 570 & 770 BERNINA machines? They come with lots of Tula toys
plus a free embroidery module! Sweet! Many have already pre-ordered to make sure they get one!
Until next time, happy stitching! Have a great fall and we’ll see you in the shop! Roxie

We do ask that you sign up to give us an idea just how many people are as giddy over Kimberbell as we are!

Stitch Party with Roxie
3 Sessions | Mondays, September 30, October 7 & 14 1:00-4:00 or 5:30-8:30 Class Fee: $30
Whether you are new to BERNINA, been sewing on one for many years, a top of the line or not, every machine comes with many decorative stitches and is likely the most underutilized part of your machine. This class will have you stitching them out like a pro while you learn how to make those stitches sing. We will be making a stitch book that you will reference time and time again, while learning the settings on your machine. You’ll also learn what thread, needle and stabilizer to use while mastering those
wonderful stitches. While some machines have more stitchs than others, anyone will benefit from having a stitch guide to refer to.
