Spring projects

 

What a challenging couple of weeks!  We know many of you have situations similar to us.  First, the gas indicator meter on our propane tank malfunctioned so we weren't sure if our building would be heated during the bitter cold weather.  Fortunately, we didn't run out of gas but had only a tiny amount left by the time the propane company was able to fill the tank.  Then Monday on a whim Kay decided to run by the shop.  She opened the door and heard gushing water.  A quick glance to the bathroom revealed a burst pipe with water gushing out.  Fortunately, the break happened just minutes before she arrived so we had minimal loss.  Had she not stopped by when she did, we probably would be having a "we're having to close our door" sale to sell water damaged goods.  But it all worked out -- the up side is that we have nice clean shop floors.   This week we are sharing some darling spring themed projects.  First is Hen House.  This piece is all cotton applique and finishes 20" x 20".  Your $24.95 kit includes the pattern, fabrics for the top and borders.  Morning Glory is another design by Bits & Pieces by Joan.  Your $14.95 kit includes the background fabric, iron on stabilizer for the back of the fabric and wool.  If you've done previous projects from the designer and have the pop out frame, this design will fit in the frame.  The frames are black but we painted ours white for spring projects.  Frames are available for $14.95. We try to live by the words found on the next project:  Be Humble, Be Joyful, Be Loving, Be Happy, Be Grateful and Be Kind.  Your $29.95 "Be Bowl Filler" kit includes the pattern, preprinted background fabric, wool for applique, borders and binding.  We chose to finish ours a a sweet wall hanging rather than make the bowl fillers as the pattern shows.  Our wall hanging finishes appx 20" x 20".   The last kit we want to share this week features a mixture of Moda fabrics including French General fabrics. Your $56.95 Stars and Stripes kit includes the pattern, fabrics for the top and binding. The quilt finishes 56" x 70". This week for our "when it's gone, it's gone" section, we are featuring a Yazzii bag.  We'd ordered the bag for someone to give as a gift but they changed their mind so are offering it to you.  It is the Carry All bag and is marketed as a crafters dream.  There are 20 see-through zippered pockets of various sizes to hold all your craft accessories. This bag has enough depth to provide additional space for unfinished projects and an 18×12 mat board. Size Closed: 12.8in X 19.5in X 5.5in.  $118.00 Please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com to reserve the bag.  Please note, we will choose the most expedient shipping but there may be an additional shipping amount since this is an oversize object.  We are able to get more bags so if we sell this one and you want us to special order a bag, please let us know.

We are open today and hope you to see you soon. Darlene and Debby
