Mother
Nature certainly played a trick on us this past week. We thought the
snow we got Sunday was all we'd get so were very surprised to wake up to
enough snow on Monday to close schools.....this Saturday we are
supposed to be in the 60s with possible storms. What a roller coaster!
Several of you have called and emailed inquiring about whether we will
be at the Dallas show this weekend. Unfortunately, we will miss it this
year. We applied for a spot at the show in Pigeon Forge, TN (March
20-23) but were denied. We don't know what happened but about a month
later we received an invitation to the show. Since we've never been to a
show in TN, we felt we should accept. We are a very small shop with a
staff of 3 (5 if you include our mother and Kay's sister who helps
behind the scenes) and doing two shows in a span of two weeks would be
too much for us.
Since spring is right around the corner, we
want to share a couple of really sweet projects sure to get you in the
mood for warmer weather. When we saw the pattern for "Common Threads"
we knew we wanted to change it. Your $26.95 kit includes the design
stamped on sandcastle fabric, a Moda mini charm pack, binding, Valdani
perle cotton threads, a needle, backing fabric and binding. It finishes
8" x 12".
The cute hanger is also available for $10.45. We think it's the perfect complement to our piece.
If you'd prefer to stitch and finish the design as the designer
intended, the pattern which contains the prestamped sandcastle
background fabric, threads and a needle is available for $16. Please
note, our changes to the pattern and fabrics are not included. |

"Bunny Garden" by Lynette Anderson is such a darling spring piece.
Your $36.95 kit includes Lynette's pattern, fabrics for the top,
stitchery background, binding and buttons. It finishes 12 1/2" x 14"
and fits perfectly on an Ackfeld table stand. The stand is available
separately for $26.95. |

This week for our "when it's gone, it's gone" section we are featuring a
pattern by Buttermilk Basin. Your $16.95 kit includes the pattern, a
tea towel and wool for applique. We have only a few kits left -- let us
know if you'd prefer red or blue striping on the towel. Please e-mail
info@sewgracefulquilting.com or call 479-372-7403 with your color
choice and we'll get your order processed. |

We'll be back next week with one of our designs to share. It's super cute. Hope we see you soon!
