A couple of weeks ago, I received this invitation in the mail, and it sounds like such fun! \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“My” LQS — located a dangerous five minutes from home — is Quiltique (that’s their logo you see on the invitation), a beautiful store that’s also a Bernina dealership. They’ve invited customers to come and sew on the wonderful Bernina 830 while their tech cleans and services our own machines. What a deal, huh?  Naturally, I expect they want to sell us either an 830 or an 820, but I can’t afford one, nor would my almost-new sewing cabinet handle the weight of one, even if I weren’t still in love with my 630. But who could pass up a generous offer like this one of having some fun sewing time and<\/i> getting a free servicing? I’ll be packing up my machine later today and heading for Quiltique tomorrow! \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
