The
snowfall earlier this week reminded us to remind you of our inclement
weather policy. If the Rogers public schools are closed, the shop will
be closed. If snow is falling or is on the roads, please call us before
you make a trip out to the shop. As you're aware if you've been to the
shop, several portions of Pleasant Ridge Road don't get much sun which
means melting occurs slowly.
We will have an abbreviated newsletter next week since it's Thanksgiving week so we have a lot to share this week.
Darlene has a very limited amount of stitching time so she chooses her
stitching projects carefully. When she saw the "Bear and Snowman Wall
Quilt" she knew it was on her "I absolutely must stitch this" list. The
background is a lovely mottled navy fabric by Primitive Gatherings and
the applique is wool. Each wool shape is beautifully embellished with
stitching. Your $36.95 kit includes the pattern, background cotton,
wool for the applique, borders and binding. The quilt finishes 21 1/2" x
27 1/2".
We'll be happy to put together a thread kit - just let us know you'd like to order one when you place your kit order.
Our shipment of long sleeve t-shirts arrived just in time for holiday
gift giving. These are not the usual thin t-shirts one often
finds......you know the kind ..... it'll fit a normal person before
washing and a 5-year old after washing. We ordered three yummy colors:
brick, lavender and chalky mint. Brick and lavender are pictured below
- we couldn't get a good photo of chalky mint but think back to the
after dinner mints grandma used to keep on her coffee table -- the green
is similar.
Shirts are $28.95 each and available in a variety of sizes. |

We received notification this week that effective Jan 1 the price of
Valdani perle cotton will increase. This means the balls will go from
$4.95 each to $5.45 each. Now would be a good time to place an order to
fill in holes you may have in your stash. You can order on line https://www.sewgracefulquilting.com/, call Darlene at 479-372-7403 or e-mail (info@sewgracefulquilting.com) with your order. |

We're always super excited to see boxes arrive from Quiltmania because
they contain magazines filled with inspiration. The winter issue of
Simply Vintage contains 17 projects ranging from pieced quilts to
embroidery to wool applique. If you're on auto ship to receive the
magazine, Debby is processing your order today. If you're not and would
like to be, please let us know. $17.99 |

We are in awe of the Quiltmania magazine cover quilt. It would
probably take us a long time to make but would be a beautiful addition
to our quilt collection. The magazine is filled with a particularly
wonderful selection of projects. $13.99 |
|
|
Although the Simply Moderne magazine contains contemporary projects, we
can visualize all of them in our primitive fabrics. $17.99 |
|

Last but not least, we wanted to share a photo of Kay's progress on the
"4 Seasons" table topper project. Here's a portion of the spring
section of the project. We'll share updates on our Instagram page
(sewgracefulquilting) and Facebook (Sew Graceful Quilting). |

Last week Cox subscribers didn't receive their weekly newsletter until
around noon. We always send our weekly newsletter out at 6:00 a.m.
CST. If you're enjoying your morning cup of coffee and looking forward
to reading our newsletter and find your inbox is empty, you can read our
newsletter by visiting our blog http://sewgraceful.blogspot.com/
See you soon!
Darlene and Debby |
