We
hope our newsletter this week finds you doing well and making the most
of this period of isolation. We know many people are taking advantage
of the opportunity to reorganize their sewing room. The first item we
want to share this week may help you in that endeavor.
Yazzii
bags are not only practical but are very well made. The petite
organizer is 5" x 6.6" x 2.6" when closed so is the perfect size to
carry on its own or tuck in a larger stitching bag. It has six zippered
compartments with see-through panels. It's ideal for storing stitching
supplies but also can be used for toiletries, medication, cosmetics and
jewelry. We have teal, navy, red, purple and green in stock and may be
able to order fuschia or black if you'd like (our distributor has only a
few fuschia, green and black in stock). $29.95 each

Debby recently finished the sweetest spring pillow. If you aren't a
"pillow on the couch" type of person, you could add a nice ribbon hanger
and make an adorable hanger for a door knob. Your $27.95 kit for "Let
Your Heart Sing" includes the pattern, preprinted bird panel, fabric and
wool to make the pillow, buttons and lace edging. Finishes 12" x 13".

If you're a big fan of intricate piecing and applique, you probably
heard the news that Di Ford passed away after a battle with cancer. We
have been admirers of her work for many years. With her passing, her
books will become more and more difficult to find. We are able to still
get copies of her first book with Quiltmania, Primarily Quilts. It
contains 16 projects beautifully illustrated and photographed. $49.95
We will put together an order for her book early next week, so please
let us know soon if you'd like to reserve a copy. Please e-mail
info@sewgracefulquilting.com and we'll reserve a copy for you. |

This week we have more beautiful creations to share. If you don't see
your quilt in the newsletter this week, don't worry.....we will share it
in a future newsletter.
Patty Nelson shared a darling pinwheel
baby quilt. It is a free pattern from Moda. She said the lighting
makes some of the quilt look beige, but it is a white background. We
especially like the 3D triangles around the center of the quilt.
We'll be sharing more of Patty's work in future newsletters.

Pam Mobley has been very busy. We have several of her finishes to
share. This week we are sharing "Honey Hill Farm". This was designed
by Dawn Heese and published in the Summer 2018 issue of Primitive Quilts
and Projects magazine. We helped Pam select fabric and wool for the
project and would be happy to do the same for you. |
|
| Donna Koster is working on a stunning quilt in shades of blue and brown. We can't wait to see the finished quilt. |

Carol Schwartz recently finished a beautiful American flag wall hanging
using a pattern by Shabby Fabric. She said she was able to use up some
of her red and beige fabric. |
|
|
The words on Vicki Lemme's quilt ring true for us during this somewhat
stressful and confusing time in our history. We love how she combined
shades of butter yellow and taupe with navy to create a beautiful
quilt. |
|
|
Kay has several projects in various stages of completion. She asked us
to share a couple blocks from her "Warm Wishes" quilt. We will have
kits available as soon as she finishes the sample. If you'd like to
reserve a kit, please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com. |
|
Please keep sending photos of your projects - they can be works in
progress or finished items. We love sharing and inspiring others and
judging by the feedback we have received, you enjoy seeing what others
are doing.
We are still available to meet you at the shop if
you need some supplies or to drop off (or pick up a quilt). Please call
or text Darlene at 479-372-7403.
Darlene and Debby |
