Creekside Quilting Newsletter 03/08/2022
Our Downton Abbey Retreat was a great success and everyone had fun! Many projects were started, some finished, and some completed to a good stopping point. We had people bring projects they had not touched in years and just needed motivation to get them started again! Our farthest guest was from London! The facility was terrfic! And even time in a tornado shelter, didn't keep people from stop sewing...they just worked on their hand sewing projects! We played lots of games, had lots of laughs and gave out lots of nice prizes....it was a memory-making, friend-making, quilt-making weekend! Here are a few pictures!

Go home with a sense of confidence and plenty of resources to begin your quilting journey! You MUST know your machine! ~ how to set your tension, lower your feed dogs, and make adjustments.
