What
a roller coaster of weather we've experienced so far this year! Temps
from the 50s to the teens with rain, sleet and freezing fog thrown into
the mix.
Last week we promised to share a super darling
snowman quilt. The "Snowball Fun" pattern is by Lynette Anderson so
features her typically whimsical applique. We changed the pattern a bit
and did the applique in wool. Your $64.95 kit includes the pattern
with full size templates, fabric for the top, wool for applique,
borders, buttons and binding. Quilt finishes 43" x 52".
We're not sure how but we missed sharing a new Quiltmania book with
you. Louise Lott & Lisa Kerr have created a wonderful assortment of
17 quilts combining piecing and applique. $49.95 We will be
placing an order for "Vintage Quilts & Friendship" early next week
so e-mail (info@sewgracefulquilting.com) or call 479-372-7403 if you'd
like us to reserve a copy for you. |

If you were on social media during the holiday season, you probably saw
the primitive wool trees. Sharon Phillips has agreed to host a
workshop so you can make your own wool tree. The tree is not restricted
to Christmas - we can see cute spring ornaments and patriotic summer
ornaments and fall ornaments......you get the idea! The
workshop will be at Sew Graceful on Weds, Feb 7 from 9:30 until 2:00.
Bring your lunch (we now have a big frig). We are working on dying wool
and getting everything together to make the kits. Once we finalize
costs, we'll let you know. E-mail (info@sewgracefulquilting.com) or call 479-372-7403 if you'd like to sign up. |

Before we close we must share one more cute snowman piece with you,
Seasons One. This piece finishes 10 1/2" x 10 1/2" so is the perfect
size to fit on a 10" Ackfeld stand. Your $24.95 kit includes the
pattern, cotton fabric, wool for applique, buttons and binding.
The pattern, Season One, includes instructions to make a cute spring
wall hanging. Supplies for the spring wall hanging are not included;
however, we will be happy to put together a kit for you. |

If you'd prefer to use your own supplies, the pattern with buttons is
available for $12.95. The photo below shows the two patterns included
in Seasons One. |

One weather related note - if Rogers schools are closed, the shop will
be closed. If you're in doubt about whether we are open, please call us
at 479-374-7403. |

We'll be back next week with more to inspire you. See you soon!
