Quiltmania inspiration

 

We're back after a fun-filled vacation.  We took a road trip to visit The Ark in Williamstown, KY.  Of course, our navigational skills are somewhat lacking so we ended up seeing more of the beautiful countryside than anticipated but it made for trip memories.  We are happy to be home and feel invigorated and inspired.

While we were gone, Kay worked her magic at the shop.  She reworked several displays.  We'll share one overall photo and invite you to visit our Instagram (sewgracefulquilting) or Facebook (Sew Graceful Quilting) pages to see more inspiration.  If you spot something you'd like more info about, please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com.
Our shipment of Quiltmania magazines arrived.  The new Simply Vintage (#42) contains 17 projects including one by one of our favorite designers, Dawn Heese.  We are including pictures of three of our favorite projects contained in this issue.  $18.99

If you're on auto ship for any Quiltmania magazine, Debby will be processing your order today.  
We also received the regular Quiltmania magazine (#148).  This issue contains 7 projects including the darling bunny quilt, Hopping down the Bunny Trail, pictured below.  $14.99
Our shipment of Simply Moderne magazines is on the way and should arrive by early next week.  We love it when we know the person who made the cover of a magazine.  Our sweet friend Wendy Sheppard designed and pieced the cover quilt, Love Letters.  Even more exciting is the fact that it was quilted by Darlene of Sew Graceful Quilting. 

This issue of Simply Moderne contains 10 projects.  It was hard to choose just a couple to spotlight but we've included photos of two really fun quilts below.   $18.99
Speaking of Wendy......she had an absolutely phenomenal Instagram account containing thousands of photos.  Some mean person hijacked her account, and she lost all her photos and hard work.  If you're an Instagram user, please consider following Wendy on her new account ivory_spring2.  
This week for our "when it's gone, it's gone" section we are featuring our last few kits for Love is Patient.  The kit includes the pattern, fabric for the top, Valdani perle cotton #12 for stitching, backing fabric, binding and specialty rick rack.  15 1/2" x 20" - $24.95

Please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com to reserve.

This week for our Sample Sale, we are featuring a 13" x 24 1/2" wall hanging designed by Norma Whaley.  Kay used a Diamond Textile fabric for the background and hand stitched wool applique.  Count Sheep - $45 plus shipping. 

Please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com to reserve.
Darlene is very excited to be vending at the Cassville show this weekend.  The show is sponsored by the Ozark Country Quilters and will be held Friday, April 1 (9-6) and Sat, April 2 (9-4) at Crowder College, 4020 N Main in Cassville.  Admission is $5 (children under 12 are free).  
Debby and Darlene
