Tribute!

Bobby and I spent the day in Atlanta last Tuesday at the annual Sew Fest Meeting of the Husqvarna Viking company SVP Worldwide. Meeting with other dealers in a forum of that sort always adds to your bank of knowledge and insight. We had great information exchange with fellow dealers, educators, managers, and officers of SVP. We learned of new products in the world of embroidery design packages, accessory feet for the Huskylock s25 and s21, a new endless hoop for the Designer series of embroidery machines, and other products that make embroidery and sewing easier and more fun. Now we are waiting for some of those products to arrive in the shop so that we can show them to you. We came home with two new machine models designed to celebrate the 140th Anniversary of the Husqvarna brand sewing machine - the Tribute 140C and the Tribute 140M. These two machines have a beautiful red accent panel and have features that our customers are going to love and a price that you will love as well. The Tribute 140C computerized model has already gone to its new home - one day after it arrived in the shop! Now we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the others that we ordered at the meeting. I'm sure we will shout to you when these units arrive in town. In the meantime, come in to see the mechanical version, the Tribute 140M, and try it out.

H&C Feature of the Week: Red and White
At Heirlooms & Comforts this week we will feature 20% off red or red/white fabrics in honor of the Valentine celebration that is coming soon. Get these fabrics early so that you can complete projects for your special loved ones. We have a beautiful supply of these pieces that will work well in projects that can express your feelings for those special to you.


Free Sew Days
At Heirlooms & Comforts we have what we call Free Sew Days in the shop. You and your friends are invited to come in and sew for the day and to bring a bag lunch or order in a lunch and have fellowship and inspiration from each other as you sew and share life's experiences together. We provide the space, the electricity and climate control inside the room for your comfort, and occasional advice as you spend time with your friends and our staff. Call the shop to be sure when those days are on our class schedule (days with no formal classes). We look forward to seeing you among those who love Free Sew Days.

Just a Reminder
This is just a reminder that the special Designer Days promotion ends on February 15, 2012. Look at the details on the Husqvarna Viking web site and run into Heirlooms & Comforts to make your purchase while this promotion lasts. Do it right away.

How Cute is This?

It must be written someplace that all friends and acquaintances of grandmothers have to listen to and agree with the opinion of said grandmother about her grandchild! So here goes for Grandson #3. Just look at this photo. Now imagine this as a ten-foot poster in the trade show where people are buying merchandise to stock their clothing stores. Who in this wide world would not buy the entire line from Dickies after seeing this poster with this child's handsome face? If it showed up in the department store in an even smaller size wouldn't you buy those "togs" even if you had to find a child to give them to, not having a grandson of your own? I ask you again, "How cute is this?" Too bad he doesn't get royalties for this. I think it is worth a million! Now, just for the record, you should see his brothers and cousins.

H&C Feature of the Week: Clean Off the Bolt
At Heirlooms & Comforts this week we will feature Clean Off the Bolt all week long. Buy all the fabric left on the bolt of regular price fabric and get 25% off the price. (Special orders and kitted fabrics are excluded) Buy all the fabric left on the bolt of a sale priced fabric and get an extra 10% off the original price of the fabric. (Offer cannot be combined with other offers.) There are some really nice fabrics on the Sale Table, folks. This is a good time for borders and backings!

Sew Fest
Husqvarna Viking is having Sew Fest for the American dealerships during this week and part of next week. So, look for new things to come from Viking. We will return from the session in Atlanta with new ideas and plans bursting forth just like the daffodils in the garden! We will be ready to show and share with you whatever they have in store for us at this meeting. Watch out and listen for Bobby and me to spill the news.
