Lots of inspiration

Kay had a great time at the quilt show in Mountain Home last week.  Easy loading and unloading, beautiful quilts and sweet people made for a great show.  While she was away, the shop was packed with people who were in town for the craft fairs.  Thanks to everyone who stopped by the booth and the shop.  We couldn't do it without your support. Since the weather is supposed to turn frightfully cold this weekend, we thought it fitting to share a project that will get you in the mood for winter.  "Little Winter Wonderland" was designed by our friend from Australia, Lynette Anderson.  It features a couple of her sweet hand painted reindeer buttons.  Your $38.95 kit includes the pattern, fabrics for the top, buttons and binding.  It finishes 12" x 14". Our winter shipment of Wool Works magazines arrived.  After filling our automatic ship orders, we have a few left.  First come, first served.  Visit our website https://www.sewgracefulquilting.com/index.html email (info@sewgracefulquilting.com) or call 479-372-7403 to reserve your copy.  $10.99 Several weeks ago our favorite fabric guy Jon from Moda stopped by.  Sometimes he's sneaky and saves the best for last.  He showed us a lot of fabric including a whole stack of bright fabric.....we were so disappointed there was nothing of interest to our look until.......he pulled out the most scrumptious pile of Jo Morton fabrics we've ever seen.  We couldn't help ourselves; we bought the entire line. "New Hope" ships in January and we cannot wait.  We have a plan for the fabric and think you'll be pleased with what we've got up our sleeves.  If you spot a fabric you know you must have, please let us know and we'll be sure we have enough on hand to accommodate your request.

The winter issue of Primitive Quilts & Projects magazine arrived.  In addition to Kay's "Sparkle" quilt, the issue contains 14 more projects.  If you haven't reserved your copy, please let us know and we'll hold a copy for you.  $9.99 We're not sure how the newest wool applique book slipped through the cracks.  "Sweet and Simple Wool Applique" looks like a fabulous book filled with designs from some of our favorite primitive designers.  Contributors include Anne Downs, Lori Brechlin, Stacy Nash, Dawn Heese, Renee Plains, Cherie Ralston (and more).  The book includes a variety of projects in a variety of sizes.  19 projects for only $21.95.....$1.16 per project. This would make a great Christmas gift for a quilty friend.  You can pre-order via our website https://www.sewgracefulquilting.com/index.html, e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com or call 479-372-7403. Holiday gift giving is right around the corner and we know many of you are looking for quick projects that look like they took a long time to create.  We think anyone would be happy to receive a Cottage Clutch.  The instructions are clear and easy to follow.  Your $24.95 Cottage Clutch kit includes the pattern and wool to make the clutch.  The buttons are not included in your kit - we thought it might be fun to sort through your button box and find the perfect buttons.  If you don't have a button box and need buttons, we can take care of you.  Kay is making a quick trip to quilt market in Houston.  Hopefully she will return with some fun new projects.  We'll be back next week with more to inspire you.  See you soon.
