Hi
everyone! It's Kay filling in for Darlene and Debby while they're on
their no technology vacation. I hope they're having a wonderful time - I
have had a blast keeping the shop open. I love to putter around among
pretty fabric.
I reworked the display by the front counter and
am excited to share photos. As I rolled the tea towels my mind was
busy thinking of ways to use them for future projects. If you have an
itch to decorate your own towels, they're available for $4.95 each.
E-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com and I'll be happy to hold one (or
more) for you.
The quilt on the second shelf (photo above) was designed by Darlene and
Debby. "Hopscotch" finishes 48" x 66" so is the perfect size to send
with your college bound child or grandchild. Your $54.95 kit includes
the pattern, fabrics for the top, borders and binding. The kit features
French General fabric by Moda.
The photo gives the impression
the white fabric is super white; it's actually a creamy white with a
small print. I'll be happy to send closeup photos if you're interested.

Quiltmania #125 arrived. It's packed with lots of inspiration
including photos of winning quilts at both the prestigious Nihon
exhibition in Japan and the Road to California show. Since I am
interested in antique fabric and Baltimore album style quilts, I found
Barbara Brackman's article about prussian blue particularly
interesting. The magazine also contains instructions for 7 quilts
(including part 3 of the on-going mystery quilt). All that inspiration
costs only $13.99.
If you're on automatic shipment, Debby
processed your order last week. If you're not and would like to be sure
you never miss an issue, send us an email and we'll get you set up. If
you'd prefer to purchase just this issue, let me know. I run by the
post office each day after I leave the shop so your magazine will go out
quickly. |

I checked our Moda orders and see two books we've been eagerly
anticipating have been shipped. They'll be ready for pick up on
Tuesday, May 22. If you requested shipment, Debby will work to get them
shipped next week. We ordered extra copies so let us know if you would
like a copy.
Maggie Bonanomi's book "Pure & Simple - 17
Primitive Projects Inspired by Seasons" looks absolutely wonderful.
I've created a collage of some of my favorite photos from the book -- it
was hard to choose which to include. As I look through photos from the
book, I can see several projects created using the tea towels I rolled
yesterday. $27.99 |

Kathy Schmitz' book "Stitches from the Yuletide - Hand Embroidery to
Celebrate the Season" contains projects sure to make you smile.
Although Kathy has embroidered each project, I think they would be
equally darling converted to wool applique. $25.99 |

Please let me know if I can reserve any of the items featured in this
week's newsletter by e-mailing info@sewgracefulquilting.com. Please

Kay
