Well, my Bernina dealer had their Early Bird Tent Sale today. Although I went to check out the sales on material and embroidery designs, I took my DH. He is my enabler. Actually he took me! Started at 7 am and we live an hour away, so he had me up at 5am. Like a little kid at Christmas. (Need to teach him to quilt!) Needless to say, I came home with way more. He took the Janome Gem that I had won during a shop hop (and was going to give to my daughter), and without me knowing, negotiated with the dealer to get me one of the new Bernina 3 series machines, which are designed to be lighter and a "travel machine" for classes and such. I love my 730, but it is very heavy to carry to classes and I am always afraid I will bang it and break something. This B 330 is a nice little machine with 40 stitches, up/down needle, button holes, just perfect for classes. He then informed me that I could give DD my little Brother CS4000..."because it will give her more options if she really gets into sewing." Tried to resist, but he wouldn't have it, but that I would get it...and after all I am only human 8-) What a sweetheart! Gotta love the man!

Also got some beautiful batiks and other fabric for $3.99 a yard and 2 flat fold materials at $2 a yard. All quilt shop quality fabric.

Got some other things, but will put pics up later.

Thanks for sharing my joy!

Fabrics colors really have more blue hues in most of them

Thanks. DH is definitely a sweetie. He says now I should be set with all the equipment I need for sewing for a long while....until we save up enough for a long arm... :-)

Wow! Lucky you! Does your DH have a brother????? My DH lets me do my thing, but doesn't really have any interest in my obsession with everything quilting.
