Evening Bloom by Blackbird Designs

 

We were glancing through old newsletters on our blog and were reminded of the opposite temperature extreme earlier this year.....thought you might enjoy a foretaste of what may be here in just a few months.

Kay will be traveling to Claremore OK on August 27 for a wool trunk show and a wool applique class.  She is retiring from presenting at guilds and teaching so if you've always wanted to attend a trunk show, now is your opportunity.  The meeting starts at 9:45 at the Redeemer Lutheran Church, 220 N Seminole Ave.  For more information, please visit the guild website at https://www.countryfarequiltersguild.org/  To sign up for the workshop, please e-mail Vivian at quiltingvi@gmail.com.

We are super excited to share photos of our recently completed version of "Evening Bloom" by Blackbird Designs.  We reduced the template size so our version finishes 66" x 66".  We used a combination of fabrics including several French General prints.  Your $129.95 kit includes the out-of-print book (Country Inn), fabrics to make the quilt top, binding and our changes.   You may place your order via our website https://sewgracefulquilting.com/ , by e-mailing info@sewgracefulquilting.com or calling 479-372-7403.

If you'd prefer to use your own materials, we have the book available for $24.95.

We have a few copies of another OOP Blackbird Designs book, When the Cold Wind Blows.  $24.95 You may place your order via our website https://sewgracefulquilting.com/ , by e-mailing info@sewgracefulquilting.com or calling 479-372-7403.

While you're enjoying some quiet indoors time, why not indulge in browsing an inspirational book.  Elizabeth Angus' book "Cozy Wool Applique" is beautifully photographed with full size templates to insure success.  Elizabeth passed away a couple of years ago so the book is out-of-print.  11 seasonal projects for only $17.95 --- that's $1.63 per project.  What a deal! We are including photos of some of our favorite projects from the book.   You may place your order via our website https://sewgracefulquilting.com/ , by e-mailing info@sewgracefulquilting.com or calling 479-372-7403.
