Creekside Quilting Newsletter 01/19/2021

Now that Christmas is over and most of us have our Christmas decorations down, are you starting to think about the next holiday coming up? Well, we are and Barb and Anne have been very busy perparing the store with new samples, patterns and classes! Take a look....

This is one of Barb's new patterns and one of my favorites! It is called Petit Fours and can be ordered
HERE She also used our quilters linen for the fabrics, which you can find
HERE. She hand stitched LOVE and it is so perfect, you'd think a machine wrote it!

Next is Be Mine and Barb's pattern can be ordered
HERE The stitching around the heart is done with a machine decorative stitch and Be Mine is a free motion writing!

This pattern is 4 Coasters and a Counter Mat. I love the coasters because they can be put together with pockets or sewn shut. This would add a touch of festiveness to your table! Order pattern

This one is called a Q9 Mini by Barb and she cut a kit for the pattern, which can be ordered
