New pincushion kit

We are moving to the time of year where we have a couple of nice warm days followed by several freezing cold days.  We enjoyed the warm temperatures earlier this week but will also enjoy the freezing weather next week.....we'll use the time to start a new project.

We've been busy making new pincushions and are excited to share our newest creation, Tomato Pincushion.  Your $12.95 kit includes the pattern, background cotton, stitchery stabilizer, wool for applique and backing fabric.  It also includes the tape measure ribbon, the adorable black safety pin and a decorative button topped straight pin (colors will vary with each kit).  If you'd prefer to use your own materials, the pattern is available for $9.  You may purchase the kit by visiting https://www.sewgracefulquilting.com/

If you'd like us to put a Valdani thread kit together for you, please let us know by e-mailing info@sewgracefulquilting.com or calling 479-372-7403.
Kay had so much fun making Lynette Anderson's "Willowcase Needlecase".  Lynette's patterns are very well written with clear instructions.  Your $29.95 kit includes the pattern, all fabrics for the case, wool for applique, and the tape measure which you'll learn how to cover.  
The spring issue of Wool Works magazine arrived.  $10.99
Here's a sampling of projects contained in the current Wool Works magazine.
This week for our "when it's gone, it's gone" section we are featuring "Fairhaven" by Dawn Heese.  We like many of Dawn's patterns but think this one is super spectacular.....probably because it features applique in our primitive look.  The quilt finishes 79" x 79".

The pattern contains individually packaged patterns with full size templates.  $44.95 for the entire pattern

If you'd like to order the pattern, please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com or call 479-372-7403.  We'll also be happy to put together a kit for you. 
Our long awaited shipment of Yazzii bags arrived yesterday -- unfortunately, the aqua bag won't ship until April.  If you preordered a bag, Debby is processing your order today.  If you didn't preorder but would like a bag, let us know.  We will fill our preorders first but possibly will have a few left over from this shipment.

We have more on order and plan to bring them to our vending events.  $21.50 each
If you're interested in vintage and antique quilts and their history, you may want to check out the MOKA (Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Kansas) Quilt Study Group.  The bi-yearly meeting will be held in Fayetteville AR on April 12 and 13.  The agenda includes The Trials of Sunbonnet Sue, a presentation by Margo Krager (owner/designer of Reproduction Fabrics.com), Linda Pumphrey's presentation on Fabric Archiving, hot new stuff from the 1930s and show and tell.

For more info, contact Ardith Wharry ardith.wharry@gmail.com or 479-936-4026.

Deadline for reservations is March 22.
We'll be back next week with more to share.  Hope we see you soon!

Darlene and Debby
