When was the last time you visited Jester Park?  It had been awhile for me, and over Thanksgiving weekend, I met the girls out there to walk around.  It was lovely!!  Here is a picture of the elk, and they had bison too!

What's New @ Creekside Quilting?

  This is a new book by GE Designs, Gudrun Erla...Stripology Mixology 2.  There are 13 quilt patterns, and 13 mixology drinks...I would recommend if you are sipping and cutting to hold off on the sipping until you're stitchin'!  PS...check out the Quarintini recipe....it has lemon and honey in it...now that will keep us healthy!  Order HERE

  The bench pillows have arrived!  There has been a lot of interest in the Bench Pillow Group starting in 2021, so grab your pillow while they are in stock!  Order HERE

 Last night on our Facebook Live Event, Julia demonstrated how these Tippi Micro-gel Fingertip Grips have more than one use!  We sell them in the store for machine quilters and free motion quilters, but Julia demonstrated how awesome there were to open those plastic bags in the produce department!  Now that we can't lick our fingers to open the bags, these finger grips are amazing!!  They come in small, medium and large and can be ordered HERE

  We are not going to carry the AQS Quilt Art Engagement Calendar in the store, but I am more than happy to place an order for you if you would like to have one for 2021.  Please just call the store and let us know and we will order one for you.

  It's back again this year!  If you purchase a $100 gift card, receive a free $25 gift card that expires 02/28/2021 for yourself to use at a later date!  Our gift to you for thinking of Creekside Quilting during the holiday 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!
