New display stands

Happy almost first day of summer!  With all the rain we've experienced lately it feels more like early spring than the last day of spring. If you're a college baseball fan, you've undoubtedly had lots of hours to enjoy handwork as the tournament progressed this week.

We received our shipment of Simply Vintage and Simply Moderne magazines.  As usual, we were not disappointed.  Simply Vintage contains 19 projects with a variety of techniques.  If you're on auto ship for the magazine, Debby has processed your order.  Your magazine should arrive shortly.  $17.99

We have a few past issues of Simply Vintage.  If you're interested, check out our website https://www.sewgracefulquilting.com/

We are absolutely in love with the cover quilt on Simply Moderne.  How adorable are those fish?!  This issue contains 14 articles and is well worth the cover price.  Again, if you're on auto ship, your magazine is on the way to your mailbox.  $17.99 We also have past issues of this magazine.  Check out our website https://www.sewgracefulquilting.com/ for more info.

Debby has been busy designing a cute table runner using Primitive Gatherings' new line.  Your $17.95 Shooting Star kit includes fabric for the top, border and binding.  It finishes 12" x 33". This is the second in her seasonal table runner series.  The first, Spring's Promise is shown below.  It's available on our website https://www.sewgracefulquilting.com/ or by calling 479-372-7403.

The sentiment stitched on the next piece makes us smile every time we look at it....."Friendship is sewn with love and measured in kindness".....how true is that. Your $12.95 "Friendship" kit includes the pattern, fabrics for the top, binding and backing.  It finishes 5" x 7" so could be framed but we opted to display ours on our new display stand.  The stand comes with tiny clothespins but we opted for the nice sturdy clips (as shown).  Your stand will include 2 clothespins and also 2 clips.  The stand breaks apart so can be easily shipped.  $18.95

We are working on our sample of Sew Cherished's "Liberty".  Your $39.95  kit includes the pattern, wool for the project (the background is wool) and cotton backing fabric.  It finishes 12" x 21".  The first photo shows our sample in progress; the second photo shows what it will ultimately look like.

This week for our "when it's gone, it's gone" section, we have a very nice book published by Quiltmania.  "Take an Element" by Margaret Sampson-George contains 19 projects in our favorite quilting style -- applique, of course.  Margaret takes antique quilts and recreates them using contemporary fabrics.  216 pages  $45.95

By the time some of you read this, Kay will be on her way to enjoy the company of quilters at the quilt show hosted by the Jubilee Quilters' Guild in Bartlesville OK.  The show will be held at the Washington County Fairgrounds, 1109 North Delaware Street, Dewey OK from 9:30-4:00 Friday and Saturday.  For more info, visit the guild Facebook page by searching Bartlesville Jubilee Quilters.

See you soon.
