First
off we owe you guys a special big thank you. Thank you for being so
loyal to our shop. The response to the Moda clocks was overwhelming.
We had far more requests than we had clocks which made us sad but it
warmed our hearts to see how many of you patiently waited to purchase
from us.
Kay spent some time last week reorganizing and
rearranging the shop. Since many of you can't jump in your car to
visit, we like to keep you updated via photos in the newsletter.
If you spot something you want more info about, send us an e-mail (info@sewgracefulquilting.com)
We are so pleased with how Lynette Anderson's newest block of the
month, Tree of Life, is coming along. We are a bit tardy in sharing
pictures because the first fabric Kay chose for the bird just didn't
work.....you know the feeling when you just know something is perfect
but it flops once you try it.
This is a 5 month block of the
month beginning July 2019. It is a mostly cotton applique with a little
wool applique. We also know Lynette will have us piece 30 - 4" log
cabin blocks. Cost is $24.95 per month (plus shipping if you're not
local) which includes the pattern, hand painted button, all fabrics for
the top, borders and binding. No finishing kit is required.
We have a few recommended items:
- The background is a beautiful woven fabric from
Diamond Textiles. Since it's woven and you will be adding cotton, wool
and embroidery, we recommend stabilizer. You'll need 1 1/2 yards of
stabilizer- $7.43.
- Jenna Kimball Foxglove Cottage Redwork/Embroidery needles size 10. $3.25 a tube
- Brown pigma pen $2.95
- Thread pack containing 10 balls of Valdani 3-strand embroidery floss $36
Optional items:
- Fray check $4.95
- Soft Fuse $10 per pack or $19.95 per roll
- Apliquick tools $42.95
- Hugs and Kisses applique paper $19.95
- Roxanne Glue $10.95

We know many of you are planning summer vacations. The next few items
are perfect for hours spent traveling. The background is preprinted so
you don't have the hassle of finding your light box and transferring the
design. We'll be happy to put together a thread kit for any of them -
just let us know when you place your order. Each is $19.95 which
includes the pattern printed on muslin.

Lately we have had a hard time finding reproduction fabric at Moda.
Many of their fabrics are pretty but not our look. When we saw Betsy
Chutchain's "Susanna's Scrapbag 1830-1875", we knew we could make
something pretty and practical with it.
The "Vintage Runner"
is super easy to make and can function as a wall hanging or a table
topper. Your $21.95 kit includes the pattern, fabrics for the top and
binding. It finishes 17 1/2" x 45". |

This week for our "when it's gone, it's gone" section, we have a
pincushion kit. Fabrics in the kit may vary slightly from our sample.
The pattern is included and contains patterns for 5 additional
pincushions (let us know if you'd like us to make a kit for all of
them).
We have 1 left - $15.95 for the pattern and kit. Please
e-mail (info@sewgracefulquilting.com) and we will get the kit in the
mail to you (or put in your folder if you're local). |

Several of you were disappointed we won't be at the Kansas City
Regional Quilt Festival this week; however, we were invited to a show
hosted by the Jubilee Quilters' Guild in Bartlesville OK. The
Bartlesville show is next week and back to back shows are nearly
impossible for us to handle.
We hope you'll make plans to
visit us Friday or Saturday, June 21 or 22. The show will be held at
the Washington County Fairgrounds, 1109 North Delaware Street, Dewey OK
from 9:30-4:00 both days. For more info, visit the guild Facebook page
by searching Bartlesville Jubilee Quilters. |

See you soon.
