Millefiori quilts

We'll begin with an administrative note.  If you want to call us for the next week, please call Debby at 479-531-7874.  Darlene is taking a very well deserved vacation.  We're pretty sure she will be doing some quilty things but can't say for sure.

Our shipment of Primitive Quilts & Projects arrived.  If you're on automatic ship, yours is already in the mail.  If you'd prefer to browse the magazine, we have extra copies in the shop.  We expect this issue will be especially popular because it contains the first of a 3-part project by Maggie Bonanomi. If you'd like to be sure you get a copy, please call Debby at 479-531-7874 or e-mail us at info@sewgracefulquilting.com

We also received our copies of Quiltmania #114.  As usual, it's a great issue with many pages of inspiration.  If you'd like us to reserve a copy, please let us know.  $13.99

We know several of you are working on your Passacaglia quilt using Willyne Hammerstein book.  Quiltmania will have Willyne's quilt on exhibit at the International Quilt Festival in Houston this fall.  Carol is looking for 20 other quilts to exhibit.  If you'd like more information, you can visit http://www.quiltmania.com/patchwork/Passacaglia-applications-Houston-Exhibit-ART997798 Meanwhile, if you'd like a copy of either of Willyne's books let us know and we'll reserve a copy for you.  Each is $45.95

We have a couple more onsies to share. "Cuppa Spring" features a cup made of wool with flowers. Your $18.95 kit includes the pattern, fabric, wool, and binding. Flowers are embroidered and corner squares are fussy cut. Finishes 18" X 18".

"Autumn Leaves" will be perfect to decorate your fall table. It finishes 25"x50".  Your $24.95 kit includes the pattern, fabrics for the top and binding. Please note the table runner is actually a nice golden color.  For some reason the photo kept coming out yellow......we are just thankful we don't have to make a living with our photos because we fall short on photography skills.

We hope you're enjoying your summer.  We'll be back next week with more to inspire you. See you soon. Darlene and Debby
