Creekside Quilting Newsletter 06/25/2019
It's with a sad heart that I need to announce Patty Barrett is retiring from Creekside Quilting! She has been here 16 plus years. She is such an asset to Creekside , she will definitely be missed by her co-workers and our customers. Her last day on the floor is Wednesday, July 3rd, so please come in this Wednesday or next to wish her well and to share memories from over the years. What's New @ Creekside Quilting?
I love this new book and it's obvious that you are excited about it too! We received this book in, placed it by the quilt on our back wall in the reproduction area, and within a few hours, we were sold out! It's on re-order, and will be available this Friday again...
Another book that's been hard to get and then keep in the store is Jo Morton's Hearth and Home! Jo Morton did not disappoint us with her new book...it's a keeper! 
Preparing for Lori Holt's upcoming sew along, we have received in the store, her templates for Granny's Garden. Order Here

Everyone else trickled in, but by 8:30 we were all ready to go and the laughter started and truly did not cease until the last person left at 9:30 pm. We had so much fun all day! 
and yes, some of us even got some work done...nice job Laurie Mc Cracken!What's New with Pfaff?
Only a few more days to take advantage of this month's special! During the All Iowa Shop Hop, I have knocked 35% off several of our Pfaff Sewing Machines. Come in and check them out! See a machine you like, but it's not marked down? Let me know and maybe we can strike up a deal! This offer is only good through the end of the month and you won't see prices lower anytime soon, so check us out and give our Pfaff machines a try! The one feature I truly love with my Pfaff is the built in walking foot! EVERY fabric sews up beautifully!
