The Wooly fun has begun!

We have a lot to share this week so are going to jump right in.  The Wooly Row by Row Experience began Oct 16.  We're so excited to be a part of this program.  You're probably familiar with the Row by Row program which ran this summer - this is the wool version of the same program.....with a few changes.  Unlike the cotton version program, you don't have to physically visit the shop to participate.  We can mail the pattern, wool kit and thread kit directly to you. For more info and a list of participating shops visit https://www.rowbyrowexperience.com/wooly.htm We finished our block "Basket of Blossoms" to fit on an 8" Ackfeld stand. We can't wait to make a second sample and finish it as a journal cover.  If you'd like a pattern, kit and thread kit, please e-mail (info@sewgracefulquilting.com) or visit our website http://www.sewgracefulquilting.com/ Kay has made good progress on "Mary's Farmhouse", our $10 block of the month for 2018.  Starting January 2018, each month for 12 months you'll receive a pattern, background cotton and wool for applique.  During the 12th month, you'll also receive binding.  Cost is $10 per month plus shipping if you can't come to the shop.  There's no finishing kit or additional expense at the end of the program.  We also have an optional thread kit available. Here's a photo of the quilt with borders in progress.  Finished size will be approximately 36" x 36". Please give us a call at 479-372-7403 to sign up.

Every time we look at "Moon Dance" we can't help but smile.  It's quirky but sometimes we enjoy a little quirky.  Ours is framed but it would be equally cute finished as a wall hanging or pillow....or how about a door hanger to great trick or treaters later this month? Your $21.95 kit includes the pattern, background cotton, wool for applique and buttons for embellishment.  Another fun fall project is "What a Hoot" by Erin Bush.  Your $28.95 kit includes the pattern, background cotton, wool for applique and binding.  It finishes 15 1/2" x 15 1/2". The weather is perfect for a road trip to Mountain Home to visit Kay at the Hill 'N Hollows Quilters show.  Distance from Rogers to Mountain Home is 130 miles; you're sure to see some beautiful scenery along the way.  The show starts today (Oct 19) and ends Oct 21.  She's got several brand new projects she's eager to share.  For more info visit http://hillnhollowquilters.com/ If you're planning to visit any of the local craft shows, please plan to stop by and see us at the shop.  We'll be open today (Thurs) and Sat 9:00-3:00.  See you soon.
