What's New @ Creekside Quilting?

  The All Iowa Shop Hop Magazine 2021 is in and ready for purchase.  Even if you are not a shop hopper, for $10, there are a lot of good patterns that can be used with any fabrics. This year, there is a Youth Passport!!  So come on in or order your magazine online HERE

  I am so in love with this new line of fabric from Brenda Riddle Acorn Quilts.  This Moda line is called Sophie and it is in soft greens, pinks, tans, greys and cream.  View the full fabric line HERE

  I've heard a lot of these three yard quilt patterns, and so I'm excited to have Donna Robertson's newest book Quilts in a Jiffy in the shop!  You can order the book onliner HERE or come on in and take a look.  There are 8 different patterns in the book.

         Janet Glass makes these Vintage Pincushions and we are thrilled to have them in the store for purchase.  They come in a variety of sizes and colors.  The middle of the pincushion comes from a vintage hand embroidered item, such as a pillow case, table runner, napkin, and then Janet has sewn the 1930's style fabric around.  Each pincushion is filled with crushed walnuts to keep your pins and needles nice and sharp.  These are in the store by the front counter and very reasonably priced!  Thanks Janet for reaching out to us, we are thrilled to be offering them to our customers!
