Creekside Quilting Newsletter 08/20/2019
I received an unexpected call last week, that totally blew me away! I can honestly and factually say, we have the most generous, caring customers in the nation!! The call was from Quilter's Dream Select Batting and they wanted to let us know that we sent in the most quilts for the Hopes and Dreams Quilt Challenge for ALS and were #1 IN THE NATION!! Can you believe this? I truly was blown away by the call and all I can say is HUGE KUDOS to each of you that supported the challenge and brought in quilts to donate for such a good cause! The quilts will be auctioned off to raise money for ALS. THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! What an amazing, generous group of quilter's you are!!!
Our next community project is Hatched in Africa! Santi's visit to Creekside will help people in Africa. Read more about this HERE and mark your calendars to visit Santi on Saturday, September 7th starting at 1 pm at Creekside Quilting to see her trunk show and make purchases. Register HERE
