After
6 consecutive rainy weekends, it looks like this weekend will be nice.
We are super excited as everyone in our home has a bad case of weekend
cabin fever.
If you've been to the shop the past week you
probably have noticed lots of cardboard boxes and everything generally
in a state of disarray. Please pardon our mess -- we have a new storage
area and are reworking everything to maximize our use of space. We
know many of you can relate -- sometimes you have to make a mess to make
a tidy area.
If you're looking for a small spring applique project with fun little
critters, "Forest Friends" designed by Lynette Anderson may be for you.
We modified the pattern and created a small wall hanging. Ours
finishes 8 1/2" x 25". Your $26.95 kit includes the pattern, fabric for
the top, rick rack, borders and binding. This is an all cotton kit. |

The primitive quilting world lost a wonderful designer recently. As
many of you know, Cheri Payne fought a battle with cancer but lost the
battle recently. We have a few more of her "Kitty Corn" kits
available. Your $36.95 kit includes the pattern, fabrics for the top
and wool for applique. Patterns are not sold separately. Watch
the newsletter as we are working on Cheri's "Church Cat" and will have
kits available in the next few weeks. If you know you want a kit, please
e-mail us at info@sewgracefulquilting.com and we will get you on the
list. Obviously, we have a limited number of kits as patterns are no
longer available. The pattern will not be sold separately. |

As if we weren't busy enough with reorganizing, we have started dying
wool again. We plan (hope) to dye at least once a week. Here's a
sampling of what we've been up to in the dye kitchen. |

By the time you read this, Kay will be on her way to present a trunk
show to the Holiday Island Guild members. She also is teaching
Invisible Machine Applique class. If you would like to learn a quick
and easy method of applique, let us know. We aren't offering scheduled
classes any longer but will work with you to find a suitable day and
time. |

See you soon!
