The book includes more than 350 gorgeous photos.  Softcover, 240 pages.  6 3/4" x 8"  $28.99 The book does not contain any patterns.   Let us know if we can order a copy for you by order via our website https://sewgracefulquilting.com/ or e-mailing info@sewgracefulquilting.com. We are so excited to be a part of the Wooly Row by Row event again this year.  The program kicks off Oct 1 and runs through Nov 30.  The coordinator has created a Facebook group:  Wooly Block Adventure.  It's a great place to keep up with what the participating shops create.  The theme this year is Front Porch Holidays.  We have our block ready to go but can't share photos until closer to the event kick off.  Unfortunately, the rules don't allow us to take pre-orders for the block or kit, but we will be sure to make plenty, so you won't be disappointed.   This week for our "when it's gone, it's gone" section are featuring our last couple kits for the Bits and Pieces fall pillow.  Your $22.95 kit includes the pattern, background cotton, wool for applique, binding and backing fabric.  Our pillow finishes 11" x 15 1/2".

New Buttermilk Basin project

 

Welcome to all our new subscribers.  We're so happy you invited us to share our love of quilting and needlework with you each Thursday.  We try to keep our weekly updates short and to the point......more importantly, we hope we inspire you to pick up a current project or start a new one.   We have a lot to share this week, so will get right into it.   Our first project, Live Each Season, is from Buttermilk Basin's book "Seasons at Buttermilk Basin".  We debated about how to offer this project and decided we would go all out and include the book with the kit.  Your $58.95 kit includes the book (more about it later), background fabrics, wool for applique, buttons, binding and backing fabric.  It finishes 12" x 12".

Who can resist that adorable face?!

The "Seasons at Buttermilk Basin" book is 248 pages of beautifully photographed projects designed by Stacy West.  It contains 5 spring, 6 summer, 12 autumn and 9 winter projects.  Below are a few of our absolute favorites.

Our next project is actually a restocked item.  We were able to get a few more tins so put together some darling sewing kits.  These would make a great gift for a special stitching pal.  Your $6.95 "Pretty Posies" kit includes the pattern, metal box designed by the Moda Ruby Star team, flannel, wool, batting and magnet (to hold the scissors in place).  Tin measures 4" x 3" x 3.75" If you'd would like the box only, we have one available for $4.50.   The scissors are not included.  We have a few pairs of these pretty scissors featuring roses entwined on the handles for $14.95.

Several weeks ago, we shared photos of Kay's newest project featured in the fall issue of Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine.  Since we have so many new readers, we felt it would be nice to share again.   Kay designed Autumn Delight to fit inside a scalloped metal tray.  The tray measures 4" x 8" on the bottom; 5" x 9" along the top; 2" high. Your $24.95 kit includes the tray, background wool, wool for applique, beads and cotton backing fabric. It finishes 4" x 8".  The pattern is not included. It is included in the fall issue of Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine which must be purchased separately. The magazine is $9.99. She designed seasonal companion pieces: Garden Party ($14.95), Sheep in the Meadow ($15.95) and Snowy Night ($14.95).  They are pictured below.  Kits for these additional seasonal pieces do not include the tray.   You may order any by visiting https://www.sewgracefulquilting.com/

When we initially debuted these projects, several asked about purchasing additional trays.  At the time, we didn't think we could get additional trays.  However, we are now able to order more so are offering the tray by itself.  $12.95

This week for our "when it's gone, it's gone" section are featuring our last few kits for Crows in the Pumpkin Patch.  Your $84.95 kit includes the pattern, fabric to make the quilt top and binding.  Quilt finishes 45" x 51" Please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com to reserve.   We may make more kits of this project in the future; however, fabrics will vary and cost will be more as fabric prices have increased substantially since we offered this kit.

This week for our Sample Sale we are selling Pumpkin Postcards.   It features vintage postcards which have been printed on fabric and sewn together to create a cute wall hanging.  Finishes 13" x 17".   $45 plus shipping Please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com to reserve.

Our next vending opportunity is Sep 2 - 3 in Pittsburg KS.  The show is hosted by the Little Balkans Quilt Guild.  It will be held at Memorial Auditorium, 503 N Pine in Pittsburg.  Show hours are 9-5 on Sep 2 and 9-4 on Sep 3.  For more info visit https://littlebalkansfestival.com/events-2/quilt-show/   Kay will be packing soon so please e-mail your shopping requests NLT Aug 30 (info@sewgracefulquilting.com).

See you soon! Darlene and Debby

Two new fall projects

 

Kay had a wonderful time at the Plano show.  Even though it was toasty outdoors, the event center was nice and cool and filled with wonderful quilts and vendor booths.  Below are some photos of the booth.  If you spy something you'd like more info about, please don't hesitate to let us know.  info@sewgracefulquilting.com

This week we are highlighting a couple of projects that made their debut at Plano.  The first is a darling embroidered tea towel.  Your $14.95 Happy Halloween kit includes the pattern and tea towel.  The pattern contains an additional 5 Halloween themed patterns so you could embroider any of the patterns on the towel.

The "Crow on Pumpkin" by Buttermilk Basin was a big hit at the show.  If you're new to wool applique, it's a great kit to fine tune your skills.  If you've been doing wool applique for a number of years, it will be a very quick finish......in time for fall decorating.  Your $15.95 kit includes the pattern, wool for background and applique, buttons and the Ackfeld hanger.  It finishes 3" x 3".
