Machines with Bling!
August 22, 2008
Remember I told you about machines with "bling" to support the American Heart Association? 15 embellished machines were on display in Kansas City, and BERNINA dealers & staff voted for their favorites by purchasing $1 tickets and placing them in little fish bowls by each machine. The five most popular were auctioned at the closing banquet, and all of them will appear in a BERNINA fund-raising calendar for 2009. 
The "bling" spanned the gamut from a very minimalistic red machine by Vern Yip of Trading Spaces to designer Jared Gold's tricked-out model. My personal favorite was by Robbi Joy Eklow, aka "Goddess of the Last Minute" for Quilting Arts Magazine.
Watch for more machine "bling" over the next few months, plus information about other Sew Red events.

I'd love to have that calendar! I hope it will be available for Bernina fans. I always have a sewing themed calendar in my sewing room, and this would be the ultimate!
Hey there! Can you share with all of us what were the top 5 and who won them? I think Sew Much Fun in Charlotte and Gastonia won at least one of them!
