Myrtle Grace Motifs - Februrary 2016 Newsletter

Dear Friends of Myrtle Grace Motifs!

Happy Spring!  Can we say 'Happy Spring'?  If we say it, maybe the weather will start agreeing that we are in fact heading towards spring.
This issue is all about Nashville.  Entirely.  We are so excited.
Thursday morning March 3 we are kissing our kiddos and our pup goodbye and heading south to show off our wears and get some good ol' southern food.

New Releases
This year we are doing things a touch different, initially our patterns will only available from Myrtle Grace Motifs at Nashville and direct orders after the show.  Following Nashville Norden and Hoffman will carry patterns and kits but not our limited editions, special hoops or frames.

Sweet DreamsSweet Dreams is a sweet piece for a child's room or door knob.  It's a sweet owl on the moon wishing loved ones Sweet Dreams.  This design is entirely Weeks Dye Works from the wool, to the threads and the linen.  We are in love with these colors and the coziness of the wool.

Old GloryOld Glory is our first foray into Valdani fibers and we must say, we are hooked.  This design was a breeze to stitch and punch up with the gorgeous Valdani balls.

Mavis the Merry MooseWe couldn't come to Nashville without a friend in a mint tin, this trip is no different.  Mavis the Merry Moose is along for the ride.  Such a sweet face stitch and punched with Weeks Dye Works Fibers.
