A Day in Happyland by Hatched and Patched

 

The shop will be closed Dec 17 through Jan 11.  We will not be checking e-mail or processing orders during that time.   Since we have only two newsletters to share before we close for our holiday break, both will be crammed full of inspiration and information.   We are very excited to host a sew along next year for "A Day in Happyland" designed by Hatched and Patched.  The quilt consists mainly of wool applique and stitchery. Each block has at least 6 applique images to create, each being stitched on a natural background. These are then stitched down onto a background fabric, giving the illusion of the blocks floating around together.  The quilt finishes 55" x 56".   We'd love for you to join us.  Please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com so we can get a headcount.  If you prefer not joining us but would like the pattern, we will be happy to order it ($45 plus shipping).  Please note the pattern is out of stock at our distributor so we cannot guarantee Christmas delivery.  You may place your order for the pattern by visiting our website https://sewgracefulquilting.com/, by e-mailing info@sewgracefulquilting.com or by calling 479-372-7403.

We hope your Thanksgiving was as enjoyable as ours.  It goes without saying that we sampled too much food, but the extra few pounds were sure worth it.  We'll do the same thing in just a few weeks with the Christmas holiday.   This week we are excited to offer some of our previous blocks of the month at a discount.  When we opened more than 10 years ago, blocks of the month were an affordable way for everyone to enjoy a monthly treat.  Unfortunately, shipping costs have risen to the point where we have discontinued our block of the month program.  So, we have packed some of our previous programs into kits and are offering them at a great price.   Our version of Heart to Hand's "Birdsong" quilt makes us smile every time we look at it.  It features wool applique on cotton backgrounds.  We've included our changes to the pattern.  Quilt finishes 35" x 35".  Regular price $108 -- now $75.   You may place your order via our website https://sewgracefulquilting.com/, by e-mailing info@sewgracefulquilting.com or by calling 479-372-7403.   Manor House by Dawn Heese also features wool applique on cotton.  The cotton background is one of Moda's popular prints from the Grunge line.  We chose a homespun from Diamond Textile for the pieced inner border.  Kit includes the pattern, background cotton, wool (some hand dyed) and binding.  Finishes 60" x 75". Regular price -- $188.95 -- now $125. We also have a few patterns left.  Regular price $24 -- now $15.

We'll be back next week with more to inspire you.  See you soon! Debby and Darlene

Newsletter for Nov 2 2023

 

This cooler weather sure has us inspired to snuggle in and stitch.  Our idea of the perfect day is spending it listening to a book with needle in hand.  It doesn't matter whether we are doing embroidery, applique or binding a quilt.  The repetitive motion of the needle passing through fibers is very calming.   Quilters tend to be very giving of themselves.  We've found many enjoy stitching a fun tea towel to give as an "I'm thinking of you" gift.  "Merry and Bright" is a favorite of ours.  We love the printed scallop ending on the tea towel we found.  Your $14.95 kit includes the tea towel and pattern.  If you'd like us to put together a thread kit containing Valdani perle cotton size 12, please let us know.   You may place your order via our website https://sewgracefulquilting.com/, by e-mailing info@sewgracefulquilting.com or by calling 479-372-7403.   "All Hearts" is a very sweet little quilt.  Your $24.95 Kit includes the pattern (with our changes), fabrics for the quilt top, wool for applique, borders, binding and the darling hand painted reindeer button. It finishes 15 1/4" x 15 1/4". Your kit includes Lynette Anderson's adorable hand painted reindeer button.   You may place your order via our website https://sewgracefulquilting.com/, by e-mailing info@sewgracefulquilting.com or by calling 479-372-7403.   Maybe you're in the mood to sit at your machine and sew.  Although Kay's "Twice as Nice" quilts don't scream holidays, we think both color combinations look great as accent pieces.   Your $89.95 kit includes pattern, fabrics for the quilt top and the binding. Fabrics are from Primitive Gatherings. Finishes 54" x 54". We have only a few left in each colorway.   You may place your order via our website https://sewgracefulquilting.com/, by e-mailing info@sewgracefulquilting.com or by calling 479-372-7403.   This week for our "when it's gone, it's gone" section are featuring our last Checkerboard kit.  The quilt is so soft.....perfect for these crisp days.  Your $56.95 kit includes pattern, flannel fabrics from Maywood and Moda for the top and Diamond Textiles fabric for the binding.  Finishes 47" x 57"   Please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com to reserve.  It may be a tad early to start thinking about spring but we couldn't resist including this absolutely adorable small quilt for this week's Sample Sale.  "Silly Rabbits" features a flannel background with wool applique.  The expression on these little guys faces are so sweet.  17" x 27"  $65 plus shipping  Please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com to reserve.
