Bits and Pieces

March 10, 2026

Looks like our March winds are here, and Janome, BERNINA and Grace Co. have super machine deals blowin’ in the wind! People are really busy this month, and the Az./New Mexico Shop Hop is a big hit, it seems. I’ve talked with one customer who has just finished the entire shop hop from both states! I’m sure there are more of you out there who have done the same, but I haven’t gotten the good word on that yet! That makes you eligible for lots more prizes, too. But it is not necessary to do both states to be eligible for some great prizes. We’re a bit more than half-way through the hop, and I really like hearing your opinions about it, especially since all I’ve heard about our Az. panel is very positive! We still have a few kits left, but know that I’m told there will be no reprints, so when our Az. and N.M. panels are gone (and we are carrying BOTH), they are gone. Our bunny has been discovered many, many times each day, and some groups are even bringing their very own designated bunny finder!!! That person is not shopping or looking at anything else until the bunny is found and the picture is posted. We have some really good hiding places, but our bunny just loves having her picture taken with you! Remember that this hop ends at the end of this month.  Hope you’re enjoying this hop, and getting revved up for our Maricopa County Hop in October!

Janome wants you to feel lucky and check out their amazing offers, allowing you to HIT THE JACKPOT! Check it out in store with us and/or online at Janome.com. The TOL M 17 is $7,000 below MSRP this month, and bundles with a 52” Husky Table to match its size! The M8 is reduced $5,000 with a Memory Craft 550 ELE machine, The oh-so-popular 9480 QCP machine has a price reduction PLUS a FREE Travel Mate 200 to tote to classes and retreats! The Skyline 7 which we have to show you comes this month with a price reduction plus the trolley and the advanced Accessory Kit (nearly a $500 value). The accessory of the month is the Edge-to-Edge Ruler Template Set for $60.80 instead of $74.80! And the savings march on…check them out!

BERNINA for March has the BEST PRICES on their best machines. For example: get the TOL B990 for under $20,000 (I know it’s a lot of $ but it’s also a lot of savings!); B790 Pro for under $12,000; B 590 for less than $6500, and the L 890 serger TOL for under $6500! Plus each of these offers a great Bundle opportunity for you for $999 (HUGE savings for you!!!). Each bundle is different depending on the machine you purchase. March 10-14 allows you a special financing deal when your purchase is over $4000: 0% financing for 60 months. Last March offer: buy one embroidery hoop and get one 50% off MSRP.  

Grace has specialty prices on all QCT6 tiers and upgrades, including Gold QCT!!! Timing is perfect for you if you’re coming to our QCT Camp with Joyce Blowers March 18-19, and/or March 20 or 21. Call to see if there is still room available, since these classes are designed as HANDS ON classes on our Grace machines and frames. Way too awkward if you had to bring in your own machine like with a domestic class!  

Lynn and I are getting ready to fly to New Jersey for specialty training by Janome on Janome! We are looking so forward to this weeklong training that we will come back to town filled with techniques, inspiration and knowledge for you so we can guide you to the best machine for your sewing purposes! There are many machines out there, doing various things, but generally, with the right guidance, we can find you your perfect machine to fit your needs, space and budget. And we will be armed with the right knowledge to make this happen!  

The Quilted Jacket class if back in May by request. Check your calendars and take a look at the new one Cora has made for the class sample. It’s getting a lot of oohs and aahs! Class is May 18 and 19, so sign and pay now to reserve your spot and get your supply list items together. A Rulers Can Quilt class with Marilyn is scheduled for April 2. This month, Andi is featuring Ruler Quilting with the longarm in her Sunday, March 15 class; again, it’s a hands-on class for you. Check the class calendar and website (www.sunvalleyquilts.com) for more classes and info. Hope you can join us for some!

Our special of the week will be Holiday fabrics since St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, all the upcoming Patriotic holidays are coming at us. Just give us the code of 25HOLIDAY and receive 25% off your holiday fabric purchases. P.S……you can get an early start on Halloween and Christmas or Hanukkah fabrics with this sale savings too! You know you’re gonna’ need it soon anyway, so get it now and save 25%!!! Hope you have a wonderful week and that you remember the first day of Spring is March 20, just 3 days after St. Paddy’s Day and a wearin’ ‘o the green day!
