Gail Pan books

 

We are writing this on a very dreary rainy day.  We don't let the lack of sunshine damper our mood though.....we just look at it as an opportunity to stay inside and sew or stitch.  One of our friends sent a photo of the sweetest little robin babies.  It looks as thought mama robin gathered up a variety of "stuff" to make a comfortable home for her little ones.

This week we are featuring books by one of our favorite stitchery designers, Gail Pan.  Gail lives in Australia and designs projects that are quick and easy.  They're great take along on vacation and to appointment type projects.  Her newest book, Tabletop Stitchery contains 12 projects.  Pictured below are three of the projects Debby stitched.  We didn't make kits but would be happy to put kits together for you.  Please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com for more info.  The book is 48 pages, $19.99

We are able to get Gail's previous titles but noticed our distributor is getting low on one title.  If you'd like us to order any (or all) of these, please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com. Christmas Patchwork Loves Embroidery - 80 pages - $24.99

Another great book we recently ordered is The Big Book of Favorite Scrap Quilts.  The book is filled with projects that lend themselves to using fabric scraps.  Designers include Kim Diehl, Jo Morton, Doug Leko and Kathleen Tracy.  If that doesn't convince you, we've done the math......44 patterns.......each pattern is 65 cents. 208 pages - $28.99
