We are LOVING Debby Drottz and her GORGEOUS Laura Heine quilts! These three quilts were made by Debby and she is sharing them with us in our classroom! Anyone taking any of Debby's Laura Heine's class series, is in really good hands! Debby is a great teacher AND an amazing quilter! 
We have one spot open for the Laura Heine Pin Cushion class being offered this Friday (HERE).

Register HERELook at these vibrant fall Batiks from Robert Kaufman. The line is called Cornucopia 10! We received in 20 bolts and here are just a few pictures to make you drool!

Creekside Quilting is more than happy to order any Pfaff sewing machine for you, yet we do not keep a stock of sewing/embroidery machines in the store. On any machines we order for our customers, we require a 50% non-refundable down payment. We do not have demo machines of the Pfaff Hobbylock 2.0 or the Smarter Machines in the store, but we can order you one. It usually takes Pfaff a week to send us a machine, and then we have our technician, Steven Rounds, check the machines the next Wednesday he is in our store.
