Antique Salt Cellars

We have a lot to share this week so will jump right in. We received a shipment of the absolutely cutest little antique salt dips (often called salt cellars) used to make pincushions. Each salt dip is approximately 1" high and from 1 1/2" to 2" side to side. Your $19.95 kit includes the pattern, the antique salt dip, a piece of primitive inspired fabric and a real mother of pearl star button.

The first photo below shows the finished product; the remaining 6 photos show some of the kits available. We have some extra duplicate kits so if you are interested in more than one of the same style please email (info@sewgracefulquilting.com) or call 479-372-7403 and we will see what we have available.

To place an order, please e-mail or call with the kit number.

This week we want to share a kit Debby designed, Words of Wisdom 2 or WOW 2. We think the sentiment on this is timeless. Your $24.95 kit includes the pattern, fabrics for the top, binding and the darling red flower buttons used in the border. The fabrics in your kit will vary slightly from what is shown below but the feel and coloration is the same.

You can order by going to our website https://www.sewgracefulquilting.com/ or calling 479-372-7403 or e-mailing info@sewgracefulquilting.com.

We know many of you have been eagerly anticipating the next news we want to share --- Sandcastle fabric is now being produced and we have it in stock. For those who have never used Sandcastle fabric, it is heavier than regular cotton fabric and looks like it has been quilted. It's great as a background for embroidery or applique (both cotton and wool). It also is the perfect weight for garments.

We had a hard time choosing only 3 colors to start with but decided on the ones with the ** below. It's hard to get a good photograph of the fabric so we are showing the color card and the individual swatches below. The colors on the color card are actually more true -- the closeup swatch photos show the beautiful texture of the fabric.

The fabric is approximately 42" wide - $14.95 per yard.

This week for our "when it's gone, it's gone" section we are featuring patterns from Cricket Street Wool. Some of you may know that Carolyn, the owner of Cricket Street Wool, suffered a stroke last year. Her patterns are no longer in print so we decided to sell what we have.
