Creekside Quilting Newsletter 03/17/2020



I start this newsletter with a personal touch.  It's so hard to be completely upbeat and optimistic during this horrific time in history, but when we look at the small picture, we can see that there is so much to be thankful for.  We must dwell on the good of what we know and not dwell on the fear of the unknown.  So here is a little Irish prayer for all of us to start our day:

May your troubles be less,
and your blessings be more.
And nothing but happiness,
come through your door!

With that being said, yesterday I made the heavy decision to do a voluntary soft close.  We will continue to do business in the following manner:

Contact Information for the Store: 

Here is how you can contact me over the next few days:  email me at sienagraceproductions@gmail.com OR call me at (515)207-2432.  If you leave a message, and don't hear back from me within 24 hours, please try again.

Store Pick-up 

We will continue to offer a pick-up service at the store.  Just call (515)207-2432 to place your order and arrange a time for store pick-up. No need to even get out of your car!

Activities will be hands-on and all supplies will be included to utilize and take away from class. Questions, discussion, and newcomers are welcome, and a third optional hour will be offered for social stitching. Ultimately, this class is meant to enhance your mental health by learning how to emotionally express yourself with fabric and the skills can be applied to your other mediums as well.

All class fees go straight to the instructor (unless materials are involved). Due to the time each teacher puts into preparing for a class, no refunds will be made for canceling a class within one week of the class date. In the same respect, should we need to cancel a class due to not meeting the minimum amount of students, we will cancel the class one week prior class date and offer a full refund or a class credit toward another class.
