Creekside Quilting Newsletter 06/09/2020


Some of us are really enjoying the dog day afternoons that June brings!

Napping and swimming are two great ways to enjoy the warmer weather, but one friend had a quilt show in her front yard! Thank you Nancy for sharing your beautiful quilts, and quilt stories with us!
