QUILTS & KREATIONS 2015 WINTER 2015 Dear Friends, Welcome to 2015! We have been busy planning a wide array of classes and events for you for the upcoming year. We hope that you take a moment to read our newsletter. We are sure there will be something to interest you, and look forward to continuing to serve you in the new year. The NFL will be holding its annual Super Bowl game on Sunday February 1. Quilts & Kreations will be celebrating that event by holding our annual Super “Bolt” Sale on Saturday, January 31 and Sunday February 1. We once again will be sponsoring a food drive to benefit the local food bank in conjunction with our Super “Bolt” Sale. Our discount for the event will be 20%, BUT, if you bring in a minimum of 4 nonperishable food items valued at a minimum of $3, or a cash donation, minimum of $3, you will receive an extra 10% off your total bill. We cannot accept expired food, so please check the expiration dates. All cash donations will be used to buy high protein items such as peanut butter, tuna fish etc. We thank you in advance for your generous support. This sale offer will be good for both Saturday and Sunday. The Christmas motif fabrics that are in the classroom (marked with a blue star) will be 40% off. Red Dot fabric is 40% off. Wow, that means some great savings for you! Fabric kits and block of the month fabrics are excluded. The smallest fabric cut will be 1/4 yard. It is the time of year again when we replace our BERNINA floor model and classroom sewing machines. We have some great prices on these machines, and they all come with full warranties. We only have one machine per style, so do not hesitate, they will sell quickly. If you are not interested in a floor model we have great prices on all of the machines. You’ll want to stop in and test drive a BERNINA today. The BERNINA 880 is setting new standards in product design and sophisticated technologies. You will be able to sew longer and faster with fewer interruptions as the bobbin hold 80% more thread than the standard bobbin. It has a color touch screen and you have 12 full inches to the right of the needle to give you maximum sewing space, they also have the BERINA dual feed system that is wonderful when sewing on fabrics that just need a little help passing under the sewing foot. They are so sleek and stylish, you’ll want to take one home with you. No matter what your budget is, we will have a BERNINA to fit it. Let 2015 be the year to treat yourself to a new BERNINA.
