Great take along project

As we are writing this the temps are in the 80s but tomorrow we're expecting a cold front with possible freezing temps.  Of course, what we'll get is nothing compared to what our friends up north are expecting -- over a foot of snow and blustery winds. 

The first project we'd like to share is the perfect take along on a car ride to see the pretty trees project.  Your $18 "Faith Plants the Seed" kit includes the pattern which has been stamped on Sandcastle fabric, perle cotton for embroidery and a needle.  We framed ours in an 8" x 10" but the pattern includes instructions to make a 19" x 21" wall hanging. 

As many of you know, we often change a pattern.  This was definitely the case with the Itty Bitty Button Pictures pattern.  The pattern showed 6 small projects, each individually framed.  We thought it would be more practical to modify the pattern and create a wall hanging so that is what we did.  Our wall hanging finishes 16 1/2" x 17".  Your $26.95 kit for "Itty Bitty Buttons" includes the pattern with our changes, background cottons, wool for applique, borders, binding and all buttons needed to complete the project.

We know several of you are patiently waiting for your Nikko kit.  We contacted Rohni at Diamond Textiles yesterday and learned the fabrics are on schedule to be ready the beginning of May.  The quilt finishes 67" x 76".  Your $86.95 kit includes the pattern, fabrics for the top and binding.  If you would like to reserve a Nikko kit, e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com or call 479-372-7403.

Moda has been printing "Grunge" fabric for several years.  We resisted buying any because we thought it was too contemporary for our look; however, the Grunge line has expanded to include fabrics that work well with out primitive look.  If you're looking for Grunge fabric, please send an e-mail or give us a call and we'll be happy to see if we have what you're looking for.

This week for our "when it's gone, it's gone" section we are featuring a cute pillow.  Your $21.95 "Angels Gather" kit includes the pattern, fabric for the pillow top and backing fabric.  It finishes 18" x 18".  If you'd prefer to finish yours as a wall hanging you could use the backing fabric as binding.

Before we close we want to share a clear photo of our newest block of the month, The Ark with the buttons.  We're also including a collage showing a sample of the buttons you'll receive with this block of the month....a doggie bone, a dove and a darling cow bell.  For more info about the block of the month, please visit https://www.sewgracefulquilting.com/index.html.

Hope we see you soon!
