Gift Giving Ideas

 

It's Thursday so time for news from Sew Graceful Quilting.  This week the newsletter is packed with ideas for gift giving.  Christmas is just around the corner.  Instead of scrambling at the last minute why not buy gifts now so you can relax during the hectic season. Our version of "Top Hat Snowman" makes us smile every time we look at it.  Your $17.95 kit includes the pattern, tea towel, buttons and wool for applique.  If you'd like a thread kit of the Valdani perle cotton threads we used, let us know when you place your order.  What a wonderful hostess gift! We can never have enough scissors......not sure what it is about scissors but we have to keep a pair in each stitching bag, a pair in our purse, a pair in the kitchen....you get the idea....... We have restocked our primitive sheep, primitive cat and owl scissors.  Each is $14.95 and can be ordered here https://www.sewgracefulquilting.com/ When we placed our scissors order we also ordered some needle minders.  Each needle minder contains a strong magnet which will hold pins and needles securely in place.  What a unique and practical gift for someone special!  $9.50 each Teapot Needle Minder - appx 1.75" x 1.25" Sheep at Night Needle Minder - the background is a pretty navy blue - appx 1.75" x 1.25" Nosegay Posies Needle Minder - appx 1.75" x 1.25" Antique Sewing Machine - appx 1.75" x 1.25" Curious Cat Needle Minder - appx 1.75" x 1.25" Buzz Needle Minder - appx 1.75" x 1.25" Bee Needle Minder - 1" x 1" square Last but not least we want to share our version of Threads that Bind "Folk Art Sampler".  We used a pretty homespun fabric for the background and wool for the applique.  Your $19.95 kit includes the pattern,  background fabric and wool.  We framed ours in an 8" x 8" frame. Frames (which include the sticky mounting board) are available for $9.95.  If you'd prefer to use your own materials, the pattern is available for $15. This week for our "when it's gone, it's gone" section we are featuring our last Bed of Roses kit.  The kit includes the pattern, fabrics for the top and binding.  Quilt finishes 75" x 85". To reserve, please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com.

The quilt show in Pittsburg KS is just around the corner.  The show is part of the Little Balkans Festival held every year since 1985.  The quilt show is Sep 3 (9-5) and Sep 4 (9-4).  For more info visit https://littlebalkansfestival.com/.  Kay will be packing for the show on August 31 so please e-mail us by then if you'd like her to bring a specific item with her.   For planning purposes - Sew Graceful will be closed Saturday, Sep 4 for Labor Day weekend.   Hope to see you soon.
