New Tilda Bundles

 

Good morning,
As I am writing this it is Wednesday afternoon. I apologize for not getting the newsletter last week.  I was at the end of the nasty bug that has been going around. I have my granddaughter at my side, and she is  going to help me.  She knows way more about computers than me.

First, our kit for this week.  It is a small quilt made with French General mini charms. The size is 15.5" x 21 1/2".  Debby made it with Miss Rosies Lil' Crumbler.  The kit is $16.95, and the template is $12.50.  One of our customers, Sharon has been doing some beautiful slow stitching..  She was in last week and said this would be a great background for some slow stitching.  Or just a cute wall hanging.  The kit includes the mini charms, inner and outer border, binding, and lace.


You may place your order by visiting our website https://sewgracefulquilting.com/,  or by e-mailing info@sewgracefulquilting.com 
Next, is Tilda. I love Tilda fabric. It is fun and happy. We have fat 1/8th bundles of the newest line, Jubilee. The bundle has 20 fat 1/8 pieces and is $49.95.

This cute little fox table topper is our sample that is for sale.  It is 22" x 13".  The pattern was from Sew Cherished.  The price for Mr. Fox is $85.00.
If you have any questions, or would like to place an order, please contact us at info@sewgracefulquilting.com

Next newletter we hope to have more.  This a real learning curve for me.  Thank you, Skylar, for helping me.   Hope to see you soon.

Soli Deo Gloria,

New Heart pincushion

 

Good morning,
The last two weeks have been crazy with the weather.  Snow, rain, ice, and today, foggy.  I loved it when it snows, but,  I think I am ready for the sun to come out.

This week the newsletter will be short.  My granddaughter has had surgery, so it's been a week of taking care of her.  She is on the mend now.

So, there is only one new item to show you.  I have been thinking about Valentines Day, and decided to play with making a Valentine pin cushion.
This pincushion is 5.5 inches square.  The kit has everything you need, wool, fabric, front and back, and the red heart button.  The kit is $9.95.  We use walnut shells to fill our pincushions.  We have them for $2.95 for a bag.



You may place your order by visiting our website https://sewgracefulquilting.com/, by e-mailing info@sewgracefulquilting.com or by calling 479-372-7403.
This week for our Sample Sale, we are offering two valentine theme items,  First is a beautiful table runner made in French General fabrics.  It is 14 x 40.  Price is $45.00.  The next one is a wall hanging, made by Kay.  It is 32 x32 and is $60.00  Plus postage.

Please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com to reserve. 
Second newsletter, with a little bit of help from Kay.  And, It only took 2.5 hours.  I am determined to learn this.

A Day in Happyland by Hatched and Patched

 

The shop will be closed Dec 17 through Jan 11.  We will not be checking e-mail or processing orders during that time.  

Since we have only two newsletters to share before we close for our holiday break, both will be crammed full of inspiration and information.  

We are very excited to host a sew along next year for "A Day in Happyland" designed by Hatched and Patched.  The quilt consists mainly of wool applique and stitchery. Each block has at least 6 applique images to create, each being stitched on a natural background. These are then stitched down onto a background fabric, giving the illusion of the blocks floating around together.  The quilt finishes 55" x 56".  

We'd love for you to join us.  Please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com so we can get a headcount.  If you prefer not joining us but would like the pattern, we will be happy to order it ($45 plus shipping).  Please note the pattern is out of stock at our distributor so we cannot guarantee Christmas delivery. 

You may place your order for the pattern by visiting our website https://sewgracefulquilting.com/, by e-mailing info@sewgracefulquilting.com or by calling 479-372-7403.

We are offering Kay's newest project which will be featured in the spring 2024 issue of Primitive Quilts and Projects in case you want to buy it for holiday gift giving.  Please note that the pattern is not included.  It must be purchased when the magazine becomes available early January.  For more information about the magazine please visit https://www.primitivequiltsandprojects.

The Crazy Quilt Sewing Tray kit includes the metal tray; wool to complete the mat, scissors case, pincushion; backing fabrics; twill tape and a pair of sewing themed embroidery scissors.  $27.95 

You may place your order by visiting our website https://sewgracefulquilting.com/, by e-mailing info@sewgracefulquilting.com or by calling 479-372-7403.

If you're like us, you can't have too many pincushions.  This Sunflower pincushion is a super easy piece.  Basically, the flowers are cut out and the center is blanket stitched to hold it all together.  We added pretty gold beads for a little bling.  Your $15.95 kit for the Sunflower pincushion includes the pattern, wools and beads.  

You may place your order by visiting our website https://sewgracefulquilting.com/, by e-mailing info@sewgracefulquilting.com or by calling 479-372-7403.

Closing out Blocks of the Month

 

We hope your Thanksgiving was as enjoyable as ours.  It goes without saying that we sampled too much food, but the extra few pounds were sure worth it.  We'll do the same thing in just a few weeks with the Christmas holiday.  

This week we are excited to offer some of our previous blocks of the month at a discount.  When we opened more than 10 years ago, blocks of the month were an affordable way for everyone to enjoy a monthly treat.  Unfortunately, shipping costs have risen to the point where we have discontinued our block of the month program.  So, we have packed some of our previous programs into kits and are offering them at a great price.  

Our version of Heart to Hand's "Birdsong" quilt makes us smile every time we look at it.  It features wool applique on cotton backgrounds.  We've included our changes to the pattern.  Quilt finishes 35" x 35".  Regular price $108 -- now $75.  

You may place your order via our website https://sewgracefulquilting.com/, by e-mailing info@sewgracefulquilting.com or by calling 479-372-7403.  
Manor House by Dawn Heese also features wool applique on cotton.  The cotton background is one of Moda's popular prints from the Grunge line.  We chose a homespun from Diamond Textile for the pieced inner border.  Kit includes the pattern, background cotton, wool (some hand dyed) and binding.  Finishes 60" x 75".

Regular price -- $188.95 -- now $125.

We also have a few patterns left.  Regular price $24 -- now $15.

This week for our "when it's gone, it's gone" section are featuring "Angels Among Us".  It is a panel designed by Buggy Barn.  As you can see by the close-up photo, it is nicely printed.  Once it's quilted, it'll be difficult to tell that it isn't actually appliqued.  Panel measures 40" x 36".  We have two available.  $7 each

Please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com to reserve. 
For several years we carried Marcus Fabric Aged Muslin.  We liked the distressed look of the fabric; however, the coloring between dye lots became very inconsistent so we stopped ordering it.  We are closing out our final bit of the fabric.  As you can see by the photo below, the fabric is quite distressed with color variations throughout.  Please note that it is a tightly woven fabric.  Remaining stock is $6.50 per yard (5 or more yards is $6 per yard).  

Please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com to reserve.  
We have one "Noel" pattern by Verna Mosquera available.  Quilt finishes 76" by 89".  Pattern is beautifully presented with full color photographs of each block.  $34.95

We forgot to take a photo of a sample for our Sample Sale so we are sharing a fun way to store and display baskets.  Next time you're in the shop, be sure to look up to see our collection of baskets along the front and back walls.
