Great take along projects

 

We are back from a wonderfully relaxing vacation and ready to hit the ground running.  We visited a lot of quilt shops and antique stores but the favorite part of vacation was stopping at small out of the way bakeries and sampling all sorts of indulgent baked goods.   While we were gone our shipment of Simply Vintage magazines arrived.  As usual the magazine is full of a variety of projects.  We are including photos of a few of our favorite.  19 projects for only $18.99 If you're on auto ship, Debby is working to process your order.  If you aren't but know you need this issue, you can order on line https://www.sewgracefulquilting.com/ , by e-mailing info@sewgracefulquilting.com or calling 479-372-7403.   If you're looking for a good take along on a trip project, Thimbles in Bloom may be the perfect one for you.  Your $24.95 kit includes the pattern, background cotton, wool for applique, binding and backing fabric.  It finishes 12 1/2" x 12 1/2".   Please note -- wools in your kit may vary from those pictured but will be similar.   Another great take along project for those who like to embroider is Hens Live Here.  We have only a couple kits and a couple patterns left so don't delay in placing your order.  Kits are $21.95 and include the pattern, fabrics for the top, stitchery stabilizer, binding, raw wood worm button and buttons for eyes. Finishes 12 1/2" x 13" If you'd prefer to use your own supplies, the pattern which includes the worm button is available for $15.95.  We are taking preorders for what we consider to be the perfect press cloth.  It absorbs steam so you get a perfect pressed finish.  The texture is perfect for accommodating bulky seams so even the most detailed quilt block can be pressed.  It works well with embroidery -- it prevents the embroidery stitches from being crushed.  It's 20" x 20" so larger projects can be easily pressed.   Best of all it can be used over and over and the cost is only $5.99.   Our shipment should arrive by early next week.   This week for our "when it's gone, it's gone" section, we are featuring a darling kit.  Your $38.95 kit for Rabbit & Hen includes the pattern, fabrics for the top, wool for applique and binding.  It finishes 21 1/2" x 27 1/2".   We have only one kit so don't delay in emailing info@sewgracefulquilting.com to reserve.

Hope to see you soon. Darlene and Debby
