Some quick spring projects

Everywhere we look we see signs of spring - lawn mowing has begun, irises are blooming and the pretty yellow canary birds have returned.  If you're like us, we always get a burst of spring energy and the desire to start a new project this time of year.  This week we're sharing a couple of projects that will satisfy your itch to stitch and not require lots of time.

Debby designed a cute and quick to stitch project:  Farm Treats.  Your $16.95 kit includes the pattern, background fabric, wool for applique and binding (the binding is red which we think is a perfect finish).  It finishes 10" x 18". 

"Pinwheel Garden" is another quick project composed of half square triangles and some easy embroidery.  It finishes 11" x 13".  Your $24.95 kit includes the pattern, fabrics for the top, borders, binding and buttons.  The border contains embroidery and the sweetest small buttons.

It's probably not a secret how much we love unusual buttons and embellishments.  We found the cutest wooden tags from a company in France.  Unfortunately, we aren't able to get more so once these are gone, they're gone.  Each tag measures 1" x 1 3/4" and costs $2.80. Email (info@sewgracefulquilting.com) and let us know if you'd like "Made with Love" or "Love to Sew" or both.  Since we have limited amounts we won't be putting these on our website.

Spring quilt market is right around the corner but we decided to skip it this year......instead we are taking a vacation beginning May 11 and ending May 21.  We decided to completely get away and relax so will leave all our technology gadgets at home.  During that time, please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com as we won't be answering calls. Kay will have the shop open and will check e-mail regularly.

See you soon!
