Creekside Quilting Newsletter 11/20/2018
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!! For me, this is always a fun and exciting week! First, it's a short work week for most people and when I was in the corporate world, I always looked forward to Thursday and Friday off from work! Next, it is a fun week, because it is usually a week when we get to spend time with family and friends...some we have not seen for a long time! And lastly, this week is special, because happiness is in the air and life just seems so alive! From my heart to yours, Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy every moment!
We will close Wednesday at 4 pm and re-open Friday at 10 am. Closed Thanksgiving day.
What's New @ Creekside This Week?

Maple Street 101
Remember that 101 Maple Street Challenge I presented last June? Well, I did my best, but...I did not complete the challenge by Thanksgiving day! I was able to "complete" 7 out of the 9 squares by Thanksgiving...except Laura pointed out....there are no eyes or legs on the animals....that would be because I haven't even started the embroidery! LOL! That will have to wait until after Christmas, as I really need to focus on Christmas gifts the next two weeks! So, note to self, next time I want to do a weekly challenge...someone remind me to make it a monthly challenge! Here are three of the squares...I do have to have ALL 9 squares done by our UFO Friday Afternoon Club! Also, I want to send out a shout out to Patty for her support, guidance and patience with this project! Thank you Patty for helping me!
