This week we are starting off by sharing a super cute new wall hanging made by Darlene. The detail is amazing -- look at that cute ladybug and mouse! Backgrounds are cotton and the applique is wool. Your $42.95 "In the Season Thereof" kit includes the pattern, wool for applique, borders and binding. It finishes 22 1/2" x 26".
If you'd like a thread kit, we'll be happy to put one together for you.
Spring's Promise is a quick and easy project. As you can see, the quilting takes center stage on this piece. Darlene will be happy to quilt your runner like she quilted our shop sample. Your $17.95 kit includes the pattern, fabrics for the top and binding.
Finishes 12 1/2" x 33"
This week for our "when it's gone, it's gone" section we are featuring our last kit for "Pretending". Your $12.95 kit includes the pattern, Sandcastle fabric for embroidery, borders and binding.

We are very sad to hear of the passing of Rebekah Smith. She battled an inoperable brain tumor for about a year. We have several of her projects available as kits and are in the process of putting together several other samples and kits. We'll let you know when they're available. Her unique design style and gracious personality will be long remembered.
It's been another busy week at Sew Graceful. We are working on putting together a list of classes. If there's something you'd like us to offer, please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com.
We have also been working to get several items back in stock. We were sad to learn we won't be able to make more kits for two of our favorite quilts: Scraps of my Life and Warm Wishes. We have less than 8 of each and once they're gone, they're gone forever.
The Scraps of my Life kit includes 160 - 5" squares of Diamond Textile fabric for the center background blocks, border applique, and border tabs. It also includes fabrics for the inner and outer borders. The quilt finishes 47" x 51 1/2". The kit does not include the pattern. Kit - $74.95; Pattern - $27.95
The Warm Wishes kit includes fabrics to make the quilt top, borders and binding. The quilt finishes 55" x 55". The kit does not include the pattern. Kit - $94.00; Pattern - $24.95
If you look closely, you'll see how beautifully smooth the turned edges on the applique appear. Kay used the Apliquick method to turn the edges. Once the edges are prepared, she simply stitched the shapes to the background.
The Apliquick tools are two rods which are used to turn the seam allowances. Both rods have a pointed end; one has a forked end; one has a flat beveled end. With just a little practice, you'll find yourself with amazing results. We are offering the rods by themselves for $43.95.
We have also put together an Apliquick starter kit. It includes the rods, a glue stick with one refill and 5 sheets of applique paper. $56.95
This week for our "when it's gone, it's gone" section we are featuring our last two kits for Kay's design - Picnic in the Park. The quilt features Diamond Textiles from the English Garden line. The quilt finishes 57" x 57". $83.95 If you'd like a coordinating backing fabric, we will be happy to help you choose one.
This week for our Sample Sale, we are featuring "Hoot". This table topper was designed by Briar Roots. Our sample features wool for the top and a cotton backing fabric. 8 1/2" x 21" - $50 plus shipping.
Spring in NW Arkansas is slowly arriving, and we couldn't be more pleased. The trees and early spring flowers are just breathtaking. Darlene had a wonderful time at the show in Cassville and is hoping for an invitation back to the next show.
This week we are sharing a couple of quick finishes. They're both great take along projects.
The first, Quilt Sampler, finishes 11 1/2" x 14". Your $19.95 kit includes the pattern, fabrics for the top and binding. Please note that you will need to trace the pattern to the background fabric.
