We
are super excited to share our first bit of news with you. As many of
you know, we've offered Lynette Anderson's button club for the past
several years. We've been eagerly awaiting announcement of her new
button club and were so excited to receive the e-mail. Of course, we
didn't think twice and signed our shop up.
As with all her
button clubs, this is a mystery quilt. She has given us a few snips to
share. The "Tree of Life" is a 5 month program beginning July 2019.
The quilt will be a combination of applique with cottons and a little
wool, embroidery, yoyo's and hand painted buttons. We will be using
some of Lynette's fabrics and fabrics from other designers. The
approximate finished size is 32" x 36".
Each month you will
receive the pattern, fabrics (and/or wool) to complete the block and a
hand painted button. Borders and binding will be included in the cost
of the program. Cost per month is $24.95 plus shipping. Lynette uses
Valdani 3 strand floss for all her embroidery and we are offering an
optional thread kit containing 10 flosses for $36.
If you are a
current customer with a credit card on file, you may e-mail
(info@sewgracefulquilting.com) to sign up. If you are a new customer,
please call 479-372-7403 to sign up. We'll need your mailing address,
e-mail, phone number and payment info.
Last week we promised a clearer photo of our newest block of the month,
The Ark.....next week we will have the quilt with buttons sewn
on.....we are in the process of hand sewing the binding. The quilt is a
combination of cotton and wool with embroidery. We have added buttons
which will be included with your block of the month. The quilt finishes
34" x 41".
The block of the month program begins May, 2019 and
runs for 10 months. Each month you'll receive fabric and wool to make a
block. During the 10th month you'll receive fabrics for the sashing,
borders, binding and buttons. Cost is $12.95 per month plus shipping.
The pattern must be purchased the first month for $22.50. We also have
an optional thread kit containing Valdani perle cotton size 12 for an
additional charge per month.
If you are a current customer with

We love decorating with wall hangings that can be kept up throughout
the year. "Bird on a Vine" is a great example of such a quilt. It
finishes 18 1/2" x 18 1/2". Your $26.95 kit includes the pattern,
fabrics for the top, wool for applique and binding. |

Another timeless piece is "Count your Blessings" by Lynette Anderson.
You may look at the photo below and think wow that doesn't look like
Lynette at all.......that's because we changed the fabrics and added
wool......we love changing things. Your $24.95 kit includes the
pattern, stitchery background with stabilizer, wool for applique,
borders, binding and the hand painted moon button. It finishes 9 1/2" x
14".
Notice our sample has been hand quilted with Valdani perle cotton size 12 -- not everything has to be machine quilted. |

This week for our "when it's gone, it's gone" section we are featuring a
quilt by Cheri Payne. Some of you may be familiar with Cheri and her
very primitive style. She passed away just over a year ago so all her
patterns are now out of print. We have a few kits left of her "Church
Cat". Your $38.95 kit includes the out of print pattern, background
cotton, wool for applique, borders, binding and buttons for eyes
(buttons will vary). Some fabrics may vary slightly from photo. The
quilt finishes 18" x 31".
We do not have the pattern available separately. |

Next week Debby will be out of the shop so Kay will be filling in with
Darlene. Goodness gracious there is no telling what will be created
with those two pulling fabrics.
Hope we see you soon!
Darlene and Debby
