BERNINA and More From International Quilt Festival in Houston, TX

Earlier this week I attended a BERNINA Ambassador get together.  We had lots of fun and learned a lot.  We played with several BERNINA feet, did some machine embroidery and played on the new Q machines.  It is fun to be a student.  Here I am with some of my good friends, Sue Nickels, Laura Wasilowski and Kimberly Einmo.  I think when we packed our clothing for this trip we must have all been thinking of the BERNINA red color…..  I loved sewing on the new Q machines.
