New Flowers in the Garden quilt

 

If you're in town for Bikes, Blue and BBQ, we invite you to make a run to our shop.  We are open regular hours this week (Thurs & Sat 9:00-3:00).  If you're local, you probably know the best route to take to avoid the influx of thousands to our area for the event.   We are very excited about our newest quilt, Flowers in the Garden.  Darlene designed the quilt and used the raw edge applique technique.  After quilting she washed the quilt, and the result is a super cuddly quilt.  Your $65.95 kit includes fabric for applique, background fabrics, borders and binding.  The quilt finishes 45" x 50".  Most of the fabrics used were Diamond Textile homespun fabrics.   You may place your order via our website https://sewgracefulquilting.com/, by e-mailing info@sewgracefulquilting.com or by calling 479-372-7403.   Below is a close-up photo of the washed quilt. It certainly isn't too early to think about fall and Halloween decorating.  Embroidered tea towels are a fun way to let a special person know you are thinking about them.....inexpensive, quick and easy.....what more could you ask for.  Your $14.95 kit for "Happy Halloween" includes the tea towel and pattern.  The pattern includes an additional five designs.  If you'd like us to put together a thread kit of Valdani perle cotton #12 for Happy Halloween, 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.   If we had a shop with a huge floor space and had recently won the lottery so had gobs of money, we would carry Fig Tree fabrics.  As it stands our shop is pretty well filled to the brim, and we haven't been notified of any lottery winnings so we will be content to carry an occasional kit designed by Fig Tree.   We thought the Acorn Garland and Coasters was a fun kit so bought it.  Your $24.95 kit includes the pattern, coordinating Bella Solid Moda fabric, Cinnamon and Cream mini charm and ribbon to make 5 cute acorns.   Please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com to reserve your kit.   This week for our "when it's gone, it's gone" section are featuring "In the Meadow".  This pattern was designed by JoAnn Mullaly and is long out of print.  We have 1 kit (includes pattern, fabric for the front and back of pillow and binding fabric) and 1 pattern left.  Kit is $22.95 and the pattern is $9.50.   Please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com to reserve.  Be sure to let us know whether you are interested in the pattern or kit.   This week for our Sample Sale we are featuring Christmas Postcards.  This cute wall hanging was made using vintage postcards that have been printed to fabric.  It finishes 13" x 17".  $45 plus shipping We have included a closeup photo of one of the postcards.   Please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com to reserve.

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

Out of print Blackbird Designs books available

 

Kay had a great time catching up with everyone at the Pittsburg show last week.  As she unpacked from the show, she reset the shop to bring out Christmas and fall projects.  Below are a few of our favorite photos.  To see more pictures of the shop, please visit our Facebook or Instagram page.

If you stopped by the Sew Graceful booth in Pittsburg you may have heard the "is it a cat or a skunk or a chipmunk or a squirrel" conversation.  Kay made this darling sewing kit using a pattern designed by Rebekah Smith.  She saw it as a cat, made it as a cat and still thinks it is a cat.......visitors to the booth commented how darling the skunk or chipmunk or squirrel is.  So, we are offering our last kit and last pattern and you may call it whatever you want.   Your $26.95 Kitty Sewing Caddy kit includes the pattern and wool to make the caddy.  We also have one pattern available for $10.  These patterns are out-of-print.   Please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com to reserve.

This week for our Sample Sale, we are featuring pillows designed by Buttermilk Basin.  They all have a pieced background and wool applique.  $20 each or all 4 for $70 plus shipping (basket is not included).   Please e-mail info@sewgracefulquilting.com to reserve.  If you are ordering an individual pillow, please let us know the pillow name.

Hope to see you soon.   Darlene and Debby
