Bits by Joan frames are back in stock

By the time you read this, Kay will be on the road headed to Pittsburg Kansas for the Little Balkans Day festival and quilt show.  The show will be held in the Memorial Auditorium, 503 N Pine in Pittsburg KS.  Show hours are 9:00-5:00 on Aug 30 and 9:00-4:00 on Aug 31.  For more info visit http://littlebalkansfestival.com/events/quilt-show/.  If you can't make it to the show, we will share photos on Instagram (sewgracefulquilting) and Facebook (Sew Graceful Quilting) and our newsletter next week.

This week we have three new projects to share with you.  The first two are from one of our favorite primitive designers:  Bits by Joan.  Many of her pieces are designed to fit in her custom frames -- the frames have been out of stock for many months as she searched for a source to make them to her specifications.  Fortunately, she found a source and they're back in stock.  The frames feature a flip open backing which allows for the stitched piece to be removed with the seasons.  They also have an easel back which allows them to be displayed on a table.  If you'd prefer to hang them, they also have a hanging tab......in a nutshell....she thought of everything.

"Punkin Party" finishes 8" x 15" when framed (the frame opening is 4 1/2" x 11 1/2").  Your $14.95 kit includes the pattern, Diamond Textile cotton for the background and wool for the applique.  If you'd like a thread kit, please let us know when you place your order.

The frame is not included in your kit.  It is available for $14.95. 
"Filled with Fun" also finishes 8" x 15" when framed.  Your $14.95 kit includes the pattern, cotton background (the red fabric), wool for applique and 2 small red buttons for holly berries.  If you'd like a thread kit, please let us know when you place your order.

The frame is not included in the kit.  It is available separately for $14.95.
Changing gears from whimsical to elegant.....we are over the top in love with our newest table runner.  We used French General's toweling as the background and think it gives the runner such a polished look.  Your $29.95 kit includes the pattern (with our changes), toweling and wool for applique.  It finishes 16 1/2" x 43".  If you need your runner longer, let us know and we can make a custom kit for you.

If you'd prefer to use your own materials, the pattern is available for $9.
We are excited to share a couple of new books that are right up our primitive alley.  "Autumn Bouquet" by Sharon Keightley contains a mixture of piecing and applique.  The book should arrive mid-September and as soon as we receive it, we'll let you know.  80 pages $25.99
Debbie Busby's new book "Bowl me Over" is filled with so many cute projects.  Any (or all) of these would make great stocking stuffer gifts.   80 pages $22.95

We expect our shipment to arrive around mid-September. 
This week for our "when it's gone, it's gone" section, we have one of our favorite wall hanging kits, October Garden by Heart to Hand.  The kit includes pattern, background fabric and fabric for the half loops on border (all are Diamond Textile fabrics), wool for applique and binding.  Finishes 36" x 40"
Please note - a few wools have been substituted from the original sample.

We have only 2 kits left.  Please e-mail us at info@sewgracefulquilting.com to claim. 
See you soon.

Darlene and Debby
