More holiday gift ideas

 

We will be closed Dec 18 - Jan 4 for the Christmas holidays.

This week we are continuing with gift giving ideas.  When we saw the Bobbin Tower we knew it would be a great way to store not only bobbins used for sewing machine thread but also Valdani bobbins.  The tower holds any type of bobbin and secures threads.  It neatly organizes up to 30 bobbins. Each of the 6 sections hold 5 bobbins which allows you to conveniently see all your thread colors at a glance.  $18.50

Bobbins are not included.  
Another great organizing tool is the Mini Stash ‘n Store organizer.  It's the perfect organizer for even the tightest and smallest of spaces. Multiple pockets and a center divider allow you to easily stow away sewing notions, marking tools and even small scissors and rulers. The silicone pockets are smooth and offer a sturdy grip and it is also simple to clean.  1.375" x 4.125"  $9.50

We have pink, aqua and purple in stock; however, we are able to order lime, white, mint, gray, navy and red.  We can't guarantee Christmas arrival but are happy to special order a custom color for you.  
Our philosophy is we can't have too many pairs of scissors.  Our all-time favorite scissors are the Karen K Buckley brand.  Karen makes two types of scissors.  One has a serrated blade.  This special blade pulls the fabric into the scissors rather than pushing it always like traditional scissors. Things you will like about these scissors...cushioned handle, easy for right or left hander to use, blades sharp to the very tip, serrated blade keeps fabric from fraying, light weight and comfortable.  Includes a plastic sheath which clips tightly to protect scissors.  Great for both left and right hand cutting.  

You may order via our website https://www.sewgracefulquilting.com/ or e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com to place your order.  

Purple - $31.95
Blue - $29.50
Green - $21.95

Karen also makes straight blade scissors. They are great for cutting templates (freezer paper, Templar), fabric and fabric with fusible stabilizers. The blades are stainless steel. The handles have the same soft, ergonomic grip as the other Perfect Scissors. They cut sharp to the point and come with a plastic protective cover. Great for both right and left hand cutting.

You may order via our website https://www.sewgracefulquilting.com/ or e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com to place your order.  

Pink - $31.95
Orange - $27.50
Aqua - $21.99

This week for our "when it's gone, it's gone" section are featuring our last kit for The Santa, The Tree, The Turkey and Me. The kit includes the pattern, background cotton by Diamond Textiles, wool for applique and Valdani perle cotton for stitching.  Finished Size 36 1/2" x 41 1/2"  $227.95

What a great gift for yourself (or someone very special).  Please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com to reserve.  
This week for our Sample Sale, we are featuring a 12 1/2" x 19" table mat designed by 1894 Cottonwood House.  Kay used a nice Army green background wool and wool for the quirky hens.  The edge is finished with blanket stitching.  Hens in a Row - $60 plus shipping.

Great Holiday Gift Giving Ideas

 

We will be closed Dec 18 - Jan 4 for the Christmas holidays.

Hopefully your Thanksgiving holiday was as nice as ours.  We tried to limit our food intake but it's hard when everyone brings their favorite dish.....don't you know it would be rude to not sample a little of everything?!  

Before we share more fun gift ideas, we want to share news that we have rekitted our Woodland Santa wall hanging.  A few fabrics and wools will vary from the sample but will be close matches.  Of course, we changed the pattern, but your kit will include the changes.  Your $38.95 kit includes the pattern, fabrics for the top, wool for applique and binding.  Finishes 15 1/2" x 45".  
We're continuing to offer gift giving ideas.  A gift certificate is always a nice gift, especially for someone you may not often see....in other words.....for someone who probably has everything and you don't want to risk duplicating a purchase.  Gift certificates are available in any amount.  We are also happy to mail it.  
Yazzii bags are always a great gift.  The bags are designed exclusively for crafters and travelers. All products are developed with input and evaluations from expert crafters.  All bagsand organizers are meticulously crafted by teams of artisans and are fairly traded. Each bag has a level of quality that you simply won’t get from automated, mass-produced products.

We are putting together an order for Yazzii Thread Organizers.  The bag opens up flat with 2 gusseted and zippered see through pockets on each side. You'll be able to view and access your thread collection with ease.  It is secured by a Velcro strap and elastic straps in the middle so you can hold your scissors, tools or pens. Holds approx. 48 to 50 spools of thread depending on the size. Size: 3.9" x 11.75" x 4.9"

We will be placing a bag order on Dec 3 so please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com with your color choice (black, pink, navy or purple).   Contents are not included in the bag.  $49.95
This week for our "when it's gone, it's gone" section are featuring back issues of Punch Needle & Primitive Stitcher magazines for 1/2 off the cover price.  These would be great additions to your library or to your guild's library or a nice gift for yourself or a stitching friend.  Some issues have only one copy available, so don't delay in placing your order.  

Please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com with your order.  We won't be listing on our website as many issues have only 1 to 3 copies.  

Fall 2019 - $4.50
Summer 2019 - $4.50
Spring 2020 - $5.00
Summer 2020 - $5.00
Winter 2019 - $7.50
This week for our Sample Sale we are featuring a variety of project bags.  Each bag measures 11" x 13" so is the perfect size for not only quilting and needlework projects but also the perfect size to hold treats for those long holiday road trips or toiletries for an overnight stay at mom's house or ..... your imagination is the limit.  Each bag also has a fun metal zipper pull and a vinyl front which allows for easy viewing of the bag contents. 

The Believe Paisley, Sheep and Inspire Paisley bags are all made of the same fabric.  The remaining 5 bags have a coordinating front and back fabric.  
$22 each plus shipping
