Bernina 550 QE is Mine!
 

My 30 year old son is working up in Deadhorse Alaska. He is up there for 6 weeks at a time, then 2-3 days off then back on for 6 weeks working on the gas pipline. We paid for his school and testing to be a welding inspector. For mothers day this year he called our local Bernina store and bought me a Bernina 550 QE! What a surprise! I had our car broke into at quilting guild last year and my sewing machine was taken, along with my finished paper pieced blocks and rulers and notions. I am just over the moon about this. I never thought I would own a Bernina! Wish he was here so I could give him a big hug. We have had our moments through the years so this was totally unexpected! Just had to share.

Congratulations on your new Bernina and the fact that it was a gift from your son.

How wonderful! Congratulations on raising a great son, you'd be surprised how many parents don't have adult kids to do something nice for them. How disgusting someone would break in cars at a guild meeting for sewing items.

You will love it! Great Son you raised, paid off didn't it

Isn't it wonderful when they do something for you so unexpected

You have done a great job in raising a thoughtful and loving son. I have a Bernina and you will love yours as much as I love mine.

What a wonderful son, getting you something he knows you will love and treasure for ever.

Aren't you proud of him! What anice surprise. You know you have raised a child right when they turn out thoughtful and generous. Enjoy your new Bernina.

What a great boy you have there!!

Serious blessings being poured out on you right now! Awesome, thoughtful son; fabulous gift. I have the 150QE and it's a workhorse extraordinaire!

That a quilter would break into a car and steal all your things is just awful! I wonder if it was a husband who was waiting outside and thought he'd get a little something for the wife? What goes around comes around I always say.

Your son was raised right! What a great blessing he is! I bet I know who gets the first quilt that comes from it? :)

When you see your son, give him an extra hug from me. He did GREAT!!

It just must tickle you to no end knowing that he has given you such a great gift. Enjoy your new machine and be sure to take all the classes that the shop offers.
