Giant Step

Many times we have talked about the stages that we go through in life. Once again there seems to be one developing down the street from my home now. The two-an-one-half year old, curly-headed boy is beginning to show an interest in the adult size bed in his room. Do you remember that stage of your children's development? That is a giant step forward in life, when you get your own "big bed". That is when my mother would produce (or find an appropriate one in the closet) a big-boy quilt as a reward for the giant step. There were "Farmer boy quilts", lavender flower quilts, Ohio Star quilts and even Tiger Paw quilts. Now this is going to test Grandma's speed and creativity to see if again I can live up to the standard set by Mema. Cross your fingers for me!

Highlight

At Heirlooms & Comforts we want to highlight several models of Husqvarna Viking machines. The Tribute 140M and 140C are 140th Anniversary models which are very distinctive in appearance with the Red cover features. They each have great features: the 140M has needle-up selection capability which is unusual for a mechanical machine and the 140C has the extra length in the throat and has the Exclusive Sensor System feature similar to models up the line. At H&C these are Value Priced for your benefit. A bonus Sewing Bag of accessories (a $250 value) goes with the 140C as well. Check them out soon.

Topaz 20 machines are sale priced now, too. The price on these machines is so low we are not allowed to advertise it; you have to come in to find out what it is, This is a sewing and embroidery machine with the extra length in the sewing arm to accommodate the larger hoops, and it is equipped with the Exclusive Sensor System as well. You have to see it to believe it.
