The perfect subtle quilt

By the time many of you read this Darlene and Kay will be headed to Dallas for the Quilters Guild of Dallas show.  For more info visit https://www.quiltersguildofdallas.org/quilters-guild-of-dallas-show.  If you're in the Dallas area (or plan a road trip), stop by and say hi.  They have several new kits they will be debuting at the show.

While they are gone, Debby will keep the shop open regular hours Thursday and Saturday (9:00-3:00). 
The most recent issue of Punch Needle and Primitive Stitcher arrived.  It includes 19 designs.  Debby is our punch needle expert and is trying to decide which project to work on first.  Darlene looks at the designs and dreams of ways to convert them to wool applique.  $9.99

If you're on auto ship, Debby is processing your order.
Grandma's Girl is a quick and easy quilt to make.  Its muted colors feature Kathy Schmitz' line "Home".  The subtle colors make it a great accent quilt.  It also would be a nice graduation quilt for that special someone who may be heading to college in the fall.

It measures 62" x 70".  Kits include everything needed to make the quilt top and binding.  $64.95
If you've followed us long, you know how much we enjoy Little Red Button Company patterns.  When Darlene saw "Spring Sampler" she knew she absolutely must make the sample.  Your $24.95 kit includes the background fabrics (an assortment of 8 fabrics), borders, binding, backing fabric, wool for the applique and the button back (the flowers are actually tiny buttons).  It finishes 13" x 15".
Before we close we want to share details about our next monthly class.  Sharon will be teaching how to construct the Lazy Ewe sheep.  She has tips that will make construction a breeze.....you'll want to make an entire flock of sheep.  The workshop is scheduled for Thursday, April 2 from 9:30-12:30 at Sew Graceful.  Cost is $10 teaching fee plus $$34.95 kit fee.  In addition to the pattern and wool, the kit includes a sprig of lavender, the rusty bell and butterfly button.

Please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com to sign up.

Below is a photo of the sheep along with several other cute projects....we just can't help but share everything because we love everything we make!
This week for our "when it's gone, it's gone" section, we have one kit of Jan Patek's "Friends are Made in Heaven".  The kit includes the pattern, fabrics for the quilt top and binding.  It finishes 46" x 22".

$32.95 - please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com to reserve your kit
 
See you soon.
