Creekside Quilting has a lot of fun events coming up, and our newsletter is not able to deliver all our events AND all our new products!

We have Wacky Wednesday and Flash Sale Fridays, and we may add a email periodically on Thursdays, especially for all of our show and tells...I know how much you like to see what other quilters are doing....so please continue to stay with us as we try out what is going to work best for everyone in receiving our store informaiton! We are so excited about all the upcoming FUN events we are pariticipating in, sponsoring, or hosting over the next few months! And keep watching, because, we have more ideas and plans in the works!

You CAN learn to quilt your own projects ~ let me walk you through the simple steps and show you how to chase away the “SCARE” of domestic machine free motion quilting! Pick up the simple basics of machine quilting along with tricks and techniques I have learned along the way to help you become a confident quilter! 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. Social distancing will not allow close one-on one work, but I will be there to coach you along the way!
Seize this beautiful day, and keep on stitching! karen steggerda
