Spring stitching

Just when we thought spring had arrived, Mother Nature is playing a nasty trick on us.  Our new Easter ensemble included a coat, our spring flower planting is still just a dream and we refuse to believe the weather reports saying we may get frozen precipitation later this week.  Of course, we'll be longing for these cool days in a few months. Even though the thermometer doesn't say spring, the first project we want to share screams spring.  "The Bluebird Sings" is a perfect reminder of just how beautiful spring can be.  Your $34.95 kit includes the pattern, background cotton fabrics, wool for applique and binding.  It finishes 20" x 20". If you'd prefer to use your own supplies, the pattern is available for $9. Our shipment of "Jo's Little Favorites III" arrived; it's a feast for the eyes.  It contains 16 little quilts previously available only to Jo's Little Women's Club members.  The book includes many photos showing how Jo decorates with quilts.  $27.99 If you've been on the fence about whether you want to join the Christmas Tree Skirt block of the month, it's time to make the decision to commit.  We have only 1 spot open and have no plans to offer another cutting.  The first person who e-mails (info@sewgracefulquilting.com) will be enrolled in the program.  The photo on the left shows the original tree skirt (we finished ours as a table topper). The photo on the right shows the fabrics we are using for this program. Each month for 9 months you'll receive a pattern, wool for applique, buttons, black wool for applique background and flannel or homespun fabric for the background. At the end of the program, you'll have all the fabric to make the quilt top and binding. Cost per month is $19.95 plus shipping. If you like the look of quilts made using Moda's French General fabrics, you'll love "Fiona".  The quilt features the Atelier de France line from French General.  It finishes 41" x 41".  Your $34.95 kit includes our changes to the pattern, fabric for the top and binding.  The pattern is not included; it is available in 3 Times the Charm book.  The book contains 6 additional projects using charm squares.  Book is $9.95.

Don't forget about the Ozark Country Quilters show this Friday, April 6 (9:00-6:00) and Saturday, April 7 (9:00-4:00) at Crowder College, 4020 N Main, Cassville MO.  Due to a scheduling conflict, we will not be vending at the Springfield MO show this fall so the Cassville show is the last time we'll be in Missouri for the year.......a good excuse to plan a Missouri road trip. Kay will have several new projects to share at the show.  She will also be doing Apliquick demos.  See you soon! Debby & Darlene
