New Kim Diehl book available for pre-order

 

What a difference a week makes.  Last week at this time we were watching snow fall; this week it's almost balmy enough to wear short sleeves.  We know better than to pack up all our warm clothes but sure are enjoying the sunshine.   This week we want to share a fun little stitching project from The Birdhouse, an Australian designer.  Your $19.95 "My Heart Sings" kit includes the pattern and the preprinted fabric panel.  This would be a darling addition to your (or a friends) sewing studio.  It finishes 4 1/2" x 11".   We finished ours as a small wall hanging.  If you'd like to do the same, please let us know the color of binding you'd prefer.  We'll include 1/4 yard of fabric which will be plenty for the backing and binding for an additional $2.74.  Debby stitched the sample using Valdani perle cotton size 12.  If you'd like a thread kit, please let us know when you place your order.   This is what the preprinted fabric panel looks like.   We are taking pre-orders from Kim Diehl's new book, Simple Whatnots III.  The book contains 18 projects including traditionally pieced blocks, invisible machine applique and wool applique projects.  The book also includes helpful Extra Snippet tips, tried-and-true decorating ideas, plus the many perks of pint-size projects. 129 pages.   $28.99 We expect delivery by May 15.   We are also able to get copies of Simple What Nots II ($28.99) and Simple What Nots ($29.99).  Let us know if we can order copies of one (or both) books to complete your library.   This week for our "when it's gone, it's gone" section we are featuring the last of our Bee Proud kits.  Your $16.95 kit includes the pattern, fabrics for the top, wool for applique, binding and backing fabric. Please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com to place your order.

Hope to see you soon. Debby and Darlene
