Happy November and Happy Voting Day....don't forget to vote!!!  It's your one chance to voice your opinion, whether your vote wins or loses, at least you can say, you had a voice.

I'm not sure if any of you saw me last night on our Facebook Live cast, but if you did not...I hit the Christmas Holiday season with our fabrics, patterns, and creative ideas.  Check out our Facebook Live video HERE if you are interested in seeing our variety of Christmas items!

What's New @ Creekside Quilting?

 Last night on my Facebook Live, I introduced this new book and showed some of the creative pillow designs!  I also mentioned it would be fun to have a group activity!  LOL...so here you go!  Our first four month sewing event for 2021!

Each month, we will focus on a season and you can choose the bench pillow pattern from the book you want to make, representing that season.
January sew-in will be winter
February sew-in will be spring
March sew-in will be summer
April sew-in will be fall

Cost to join this sew-in is $40, and each month that you show up, you get a store gift card for $10.  If you show up all 4 months, you get your money back.  The gift card can be used for supplies you will need for the next month's pillow or anything else you want or need in the store.

You must have your own book.  Pre-order your book HERE

Bundle the cost of the sew-in and the book, and receive 15% off the book HERE

Not comfortable coming into the store yet, I get it!  We will have a Zoom group also, on the same dates, so you can be in on all the conversations in the classroom.  If you join through Zoom, you will still receive a $10 store gift card for each session you join, and this card number can be used on our website....and to help you even more, I can email you the gift card number, so you don't even have to come in the store if you don't want...it's all virtual!  
Register for our virtual Group 1 HERE
Register for our virtual Group 2 HERE

And don't forget....we have to have show and tell each month!  

I know this is a lot of information and a lot of "click HERE's", so email me or call the store, if you have any questions.  I think this will be fun and I'm looking forward to getting started!  I've always wanted to have a bench pillow....and now by the time spring get's here, I'll have 4!

   Wooly Wednesday's in November will feature buy 2 charm packs and get a $5 gift card!  Applies only to wool in stock in the store or on-line.  Limit one offer per week per customer. You must mention upon purchase.

What's New with Pfaff?

  Did you know that Pfaff, Viking and Singer are sister sewing machines?  Yep they are!
People have been asking for small, lightweight machines.  This Singer M3500 will not disappoint!  Very lightweight and compact.  Stitches beautifully!  Great for traveling, retreats, campers, and beginner sewers! 

The price is perfect too!  Under $200!!  Quantities limited.

Upcoming Classes and Events in November

***In November, when you come to a class or an event in the store, you will receive a gift card!  My way of saying THANK YOU for showing up and supporting our teachers, events, and classes!***

***PLEASE NOTE if you are new to a class or event, you MUST pre-register for all classes and events!  Now with our classroom opening up, our social distancing space in the classroom, and people getting out more, you must pre-register for any class or event at Creekside Quilting.  Anyone arriving without having registered may possibly need to leave, unless there is ample room in the classroom.  This is for your safety as well as ours and we appreciate your understanding of this situation.  Thank you!

***PLEASE NOTE before you come to class, make sure your sewing machine is in good working condition and has all the necessary supplies you will need to run the sewing machine. A good understanding of how to use your sewing machine is a must. Sewing classes require a basic sewing kit and quilting tools.
