New Wool Works magazine is here

It probably comes as no surprise to you that we are a small family owned business.  When minor touch up projects need completed, our family pitches in and helps.  For quite some time we've wanted a quilt block on our building.  When Darlene and Kay were at the Kansas City show they spotted the perfect block.  Before it could be hung, Darlene's son and future daughter-in-law painted the front door.....then hung the block.  We love how it turned out.......now that we've got the nice sign it's time to tackle that awning....baby steps.....

Doing most of the mundane every day tasks ourselves means we occasionally make a mistake.  If you purchased an "Ever Thankful" kit please check it and be sure you have 3 cream background fabrics.  If your kit is short, please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com and we'll get fabric right out to you.  Our shipment of the fall issue of Wool Works magazine arrived.  The collage below shows the magazine cover on the left and projects from the magazine on the right.  $9.99 per issue. Please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com and we'll reserve a copy for you.  You may also visit our website http://sewgracefulquilting.com/ and place an on-line order. Debby recently designed a fun table topper.  Your $19.95 "Merrily" kit includes instructions to make the top, fabrics for the top and binding.  This is a quick and easy project.  It would make a nice Christmas gift for the person on your list who has everything. Kay will be soon be packing for the Little Balkans quilt show in Pittsburg KS.  Please let us know by Aug 30 if there's something you would like her to bring.  The show is Sep 1 (9:00-6:00) and Sep 2 (9:00-4:00) at Memorial Auditorium, 503 N Pine, Pittsburg KS.  A quick check of miles shows the distance between Rogers and Pittsburg is 96 miles -- perfect for a day trip with friends. For more info about the show go to http://littlebalkansfestival.com/ As we mentioned at the beginning of this newsletter, we are a small family owned business.  We know many of you are concerned when we are facing life's challenges.  If you have enough challenges in your life and would prefer not to read about ours, we totally understand. We will close and hope you have a good week. For the others......our father, Dallas, has fought Parkinson's Disease for many years.  Recently the disease along with dementia has caused some significant physical and mental issues.  This week we made the very difficult decision to have him moved into a hospice facility.  We are spending as much time as possible with him.  Please keep our family in your thoughts. We'll be back next week with more projects to inspire you.  See you soon. Darlene and Debby
