Kay Whitt:Sew Serendipity Bags

A Note to our FrieNds Hopefully we have seen the last of the really hot weather until next year. The long hot Texas summer doesn’t want to let go and is showing what it can still do with the draught and all the fires, especially in the Austin area. Our hearts go out to all those that have lost their homes and businesses. Everyone stay safe! We have a positive outlook for the fall. The expansion of last year has been a big success, and we thank everyone for the great comments. As we move into the fall and winter we are excited about the plans Bernina has to share. The all-new 500 Series Berninas replace the 400 series with additional features and accessories. The three new models B530, B550 Quilters Edition with BSR and the B580E with full embroidery are perfectly positioned for all types of sewing and embroidery. Our new class schedule has lots of new exciting classes. There is a variety of perfect classes for

everyone. Remember, you can sign-up and pay on-line at our new website. If you haven’t visited us on the web we encourage you to do: www.berrypatchfabrics.com. You will have direct access to our facebook page as well as our new blog! Take a look. We’ll be updating all three often. Please accept our thanks for your support over the last 34 years. It’s you that have kept us thriving even though times have often been difficult. Whenever possible, please support your locally owned “brick and mortar” stores. It’s the only way we can compete with the “big guys”.

Thanks again,

Bob, Shirley, Stayce and the entire Berry Patch staff

An Open Invitation -Quilt sitter News

Join Us on Saturdays at 1 pm:October 8, November 12, December 10, January 14, February 11 & March 10

Camaraderie and wonderful quilting continue to be on schedule at our monthly meetings! Come join us on the second Saturdays at 1 pm. You will receive a new pattern, see a special technique that will aid your piecing accuracy, and more that will inspire your creativity.

Each get together also features Show and Share, refreshments, door prizes and connections with the quilt-ing community. The December QS will feature our annual White Elephant gift exchange. Bring something you won't use from your sewing room. It can be anything: patterns you know you will never make notions you bought two of, fabric that no longer suits your taste, books, threads, rulers, and on and on. Wrap the trash that just may be someone else's treasure. Don't think it's just junk; every year we hear, "Well, I didn't know we were supposed to bring something THAT nice."

What ever your skill level, what ever your experience, what ever your taste or brand of machine, we look forward to seeing ALL of you! You'll also receive a 15% discount from the BP when you attend! Don't miss what we will have to share in the coming months.

BP CluB NewsYou do not have to be a Bernina owner to participate. Join us for a lecture-demo of a new sewing technique or a new pattern or product. There are refreshments and show-and-share as well as a few door prizes for some lucky attendees! Come for fun and fellowship! Fee: $5

gail CURnUtt's

sit & sewWe are excited to offer

Gail Curnutt’s Sit & Sew from 4 – 9 pm on the 2nd

Saturday of the month.

Sew and/or quilt all evening. Work

uninterrupted to finally complete some of those unfinished objects! We

can order food and enjoy the company of others.

Gail will be able to provide assistance with certain problems you may be

having. Best of all, you'll have a fun time sewing!

Sew Serendipity Bags: With full instructions for twelve bags and with a few clever variations thrown in, there are plenty of designs to choose from! Pick a handbag that is sweet, sleek, or funky. Or check out some of the other great designs: a flirty little backpack, the perfect lunch bag, convenient shop-ping bags and handy task-oriented bags (whether that task involves a laptop, gym clothes, or diapers). Each design is easy to adapt to your style.

new Pattern info: The fall collection is comprised of three new patterns. The first is a great new dress called the Madeline Maxi Dress. It is offered in two lengths, knee and ankle. It has a sleeveless bodice, V-neckline, wide raised waistband, and full skirt with options for a pieced or ruffled hem. The next design is a wonderful new jacket called the Savannah Swing Jacket. It features a collared, yoked bodice with a gentle A-line to a cropped or fingertip length with two different pleated options. The set-in style sleeves are bracelet length with many cuff options. This jacket can be fully lined with instructions included for an unlined version as well. The last design is a follow-

up to the popular Fashion Formula Skirts booklet released last fall. Fashion Formula Skirts 2 features 4 new skirt designs based on the same notion of cutting the pieces based on hip measurement with no pattern pieces required!

author/designer info: "Love what you do, and you will never work a day in your life." In a nutshell, this quote describes exactly the way Kay Whitt feels about her work as a pattern designer for clothing and accessories. After spending nine years as an elementary school teacher (sewing in her spare time), she resigned in 2001 and launched her pattern company. Since then, Kay has earned a reputation for her innovative designs and clear instructions, making her patterns some of the most popular in the marketplace, and written the bestselling Sew Serendipity.

Kay resides in Grand Prairie, TX with her husband, Keith, and their bird, ET. She is always busy working on something new and exciting and never tires of sharing her passion for design and sewing.

My BerNiNA®Owners Machine Intro Classes

We’re excited about the training series that has been developed by Bernina to help you master your machine. These classes are available for all new machine purchases and are free of charge when you purchase your machine from the Berry Patch.

If you have previously taken the Guide Classes, the information is the same -- only the names of the classes have changed.

If you have purchased your machine out of our marketing area, your dealer can pay the Berry Patch to provide your training and warranty - on a “space available” basis. If you purchased your machine from us, we are happy for you to take a refresher class at any time. Remember, not all Bernina training is the same. Train with the best at the Berry Patch!

shirley's reCiPe CorNerThe first recipe is for Lemon Cookies. We served them at a tea and we had several requests for the recipe. The second recipe is for

Hamburger-Vegetable soup in the hopes that the hot summer will end and cool days will come when a soup will sound good.

High tea lemon Cookies2 cups butter, room temperature2/3 cup powered sugar1 tsp. grated lemon zest1/2 tsp. Vanilla2 cups flour1 1/2 cups cornstarch (Yes, that's right 1 1/2 CUPS)

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add powered sugar; mix until light and fluffy. Add lemon zest and vanilla. Beat well. Add flour and cornstarch into butter mixture until well combined. Note: At first the dough will look dry -- but don't worry, the dough slowly comes together as you mix it and the butter melts into the dry ingredients.

Do not refrigerate this dough as the butter will harden and make the dough unmanageable for rolling into a ball.

Using your hands, roll cookie dough into 1 inch balls. Place onto ungreased cookie sheets and bake 15 minutes or until bottoms are light brown. Remove from oven, carefully remove from baking sheets, and cool on cooling racks.

When cookies have cooled, spread Lemon Frosting onto top of cookie.

Yield: 6 dozen cookies

lemon FrostingThis recipe makes enough for a double batch of cookies

1/3 cup butter, room temperature1 tsp. Grated lemon zest1/3 to 1/2 cup freshly-squeezed lemon juice4 cups powered sugar

In medium bowl, combine butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and powered sugar; stir until well mixed. Note: Additional lemon juice may be needed to get the frosting thin enough.

Hamburger-Vegetable Soup1 lb ground beef1 cup onion - chopped1 cup potatoes - chopped1 cup carrots - chopped1 cup cabbage - shredded1 cup celery - sliced4 cups tomatoes1/4 cup rice3 cups water4 tsp. Salt1/4 tsp. Basil1/4 tsp. Thyme1 bay leaf

Cook the onion and ground beef together until the beef is lightly browned. Drain off excess fat and add all the remaining ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil and cover. Simmer for 1 hour. Makes 9 cups.

We believe that our class schedule is an important

part of the service we provide. Our teachers and staff work hard to provide quality training in many

areas and we appreciate your participation.

In the future, we will make three the minimum number of students for a class to be held. We ask that you

sign up for the classes you wish to take as soon as you decide, rather than wait to see if the class makes with

the minimum three students. This will help us with

scheduling.

We also request that you purchase the supplies

necessary for the class from us. This is the only way we can maintain our low class fees. If the minimum three students is not met, we will refund your class fee. We suggest you purchase any

specialized supplies after the class has made. We can call you to let you know before

the class date.

Finally, we ask that you call us if you have signed up

and paid for a class, but do not intend to attend. If you call us three days before the class date, we will be happy to refund your fee.

This happens often and the class space is unused. Many of the classes have a waiting

list of students that would like to attend.

Thanks for your understanding!
