We
have a lot to share this week so will get right to it. It's been a
long time since we bought an entire line of any fabric. When we saw
Diamond Textiles' two newest lines we instantly fell in love......so
much that we bought both lines. We are taking preorders for fat quarter
and 1/2 yard bundles (if you'd like full yard bundles we're happy to
cut that too).
The Nikko Geo line has such a nice array of
lights, mediums and darks. It'll work well for piecing, applique or
clothing. If you'd like yardage of any specific print, please let us
know. Each bundle contains 40 prints - fat quarter bundle is $110 and a
half yard bundle is $199.
The Kent Chambray line is going to be absolutely wonderful as
backgrounds for wool applique. If you like the modern quilt look, this
line is versatile enough to fit into that category. We'll be happy to
cut yardage for this line - just let us know what you need. Bundles
contain 21 prints. Fat quarter bundles are $58 and half yard bundles
are $104. |

As many of you know we have offered a $10 a month block of the month
every year since we've been in business. Backgrounds are always cotton
and wool is applique. Our program is quite simple -- you pay $10 a
month (plus shipping if you're not able to pick up at the shop) for 12
months. At the end of 12 months, you'll have a quilt top with borders
(if applicable) and binding. We don't ever charge a sign up fee; nor do
we require a finishing kit. We also offer a thread kit of
Valdani perle cotton size 12 thread. Prices vary but usually average
around an additional $4 a month.....we will have more info on pricing as
soon as we complete stitching our sample. This year we are
super excited to be offering "The Fairytale Cottages". The quilt
finishes 25 1/4" x 34 1/4". You'll also receive fabric and wool for the
darling tabs which are placed along the top and bottom. All background
fabrics are Diamond Textile fabrics and wool is applique (the tabs in
rows 2 & 5 are cotton). You'll also receive stitchery stabilizer
for the back of your blocks since there's quite a bit of embroidery on
the quilt. The pattern must be purchased separately. You can go ahead and buy it on our website https://www.sewgracefulquilting.com/index.html
or let us know when you sign up for the program and we'll include it
with your first month shipment. Pattern cost is $21.95 -- the pattern
includes full size templates. |

Here's the start of our quilt. You'll have to use quite a bit of
imagination but this will give you a feel for our color palette. |

It's rare for us to receive a book and immediately comment we must make
every last project in this book......Bonnie Sullivan's new book "All
for Fall: Whimsical Wool Projects and Warm Quilts" was such a book.
Every single project in the book is wonderful. The book contains a
variety of projects including lap quilts, pillows and runners. 80 pages
$26.99 Let us know if we can reserve a copy for you. |

Perhaps you're itching to start stitching Christmas themed projects.
"Follow me to Bethlehem" is an oval table runner measuring 10 1/2" x 33
1/2". The background is flannel, wool is applique and binding is
Diamond Textiles brushed cotton. A few pieces of wool will vary from
the photo but are a close match. Kits are $36.95. If you'd prefer to use your own supplies, the pattern is available for $10.50. |

We hope your month is off to a wonderful start. We know changing
leaves are right around the corner and can't wait to let Mother Nature
inspire us even more.
See you soon!
