Snowball fun

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!
