New fall projects

Thanks for the outpouring of love and support during the difficult time of saying goodbye to our sweet dad.  Things are settling back to the new normal without him.  Debby is on a well deserved vacation and Kay will be filling in at the shop -- when Darlene and Kay work together there's no telling what new projects they'll come up with. Before Debby left, she finished the most darling fall project.  Your "If the Shoe Fits" kit includes the pattern, fabrics for the top, wool for applique, buttons for the shoes, binding and backing fabric.  It finishes 13" x 27" so is definitely something you could have finished and ready for the quickly approaching fall decorating season.  $26.95 for the kit If you'd prefer to use your own materials, the pattern is available for $9.

Kay's newest pattern "Harvest Home" will fit the large oval trays we have in stock.  Your $36.95 kit includes the pattern, background cotton, wool for applique, backing fabric and rick rack.  If you'd prefer to use your own fabrics, the pattern is available for $10. Trays are available for $48.  Since additional postage is required, we don't have them on our website.  Please e-mail (info@sewgracefulquilting.com) or call 479-372-7403 and we will quote a shipping cost. Quiltmania 120 finally arrived.  We were waiting for the children's special issue to be added to our order....the magazines were held up in customs......but they've arrived.  If you're on auto ship, Debby processed your order on Tuesday.  If you're local, your magazine is safely in your folder waiting for your visit.  This issue is packed full of great patterns.  We've included a few of our favorites below.  $13.99 Merrie Christmas kits are back in stock just in time to get you in the mood for cooler weather.  Kits include the pattern, Diamond Textile background fabrics, wool for applique (wools may vary from the photo), borders and binding.  Finishes 47" x 47".  $159.95 As you're making your fall travel plans, be sure to include quilt shows in your travels.  Two great shows will be held Sep 22 & 23.  Both are within easy driving distance from NW Arkansas. Since we can't be two places at once, we had to make a tough decision and choose one show.  Since we've never been a vendor at the Town & Country show in Joplin, we chose it.  We've heard really positive comments about the new location for the show - Joplin Memorial Hall, 212 W 8th St, Joplin MO.  Show hours are 10:00-5:00 both days.  For more info visit http://www.townandcountryquilters.com/quilt-show The Pryor Patches show is also Sep 22 & 23 (9:00-4:00 both days) at the Mid America Expo Center in Pryor OK.  For more info visit http://www.pryorpatchers.com/QuiltShow.html We'll be back next week with more projects to inspire you.  See you soon. Darlene and Debby (who is somewhere having a super fun time) and Kay (who is planning the next great project)
