Creekside Quilting Newsletter 01/22/2018

 Creekside Quilting is a proud sponsor of the Living History Farms Event How Does Your Garden Grow? Quilt and Textile Show February 14-16 and February 21-23!  I will be teaching a workshop entitled "Our Love of 1930's Quilts" on Friday February 21st starting at noon.  Then on Saturday, I will be teaching a Hexi Paper Piecing class.  Tickets are available on line through Living History Farms and they are taking pre-registrations for all of their classes and workshops!  This is going to be a wonderful event!  Check out their website

Due to the weather last Saturday, we postponed the start of the Lori Holt Sew Along with Susie.  We will start the sew along in February, so there is still time to sign up and join the group!

The Lori Holt Farm Sweet Farm fabric bundles are ready!  They have 28 Fat Eight cuts plus 2 one yard panels.

  This beautiful fabric line is in just in time for Valentine's Day projects.  It's fittingly called "Romance"!

 This vibrant floral fabric line from Timeless Treasures will warm up any day!  The colors are rich and the print is bold!  Very pretty!

  Kona has released a new color for the year, and it's called Splash!  My picture does not do the color justice, it really is a very rich turquoise!  Buy a charm pack and receive a free pattern from Kona, using this color wave!

 Barb made this very dynamic quilt using our Coconut Chips Pattern!  

  Karen M made this classic satchel using our Tiffany Pattern  

  Patty used our Gathering Hearts pattern to create a bowl of hearts combining both cottons and wool's!
