Happy New Year to all our friendsI love the holidays! I hope you had the best season ever, filled with that special joy that only quality time with family and friends can bring us. Of course, all the extra food doesn't hurt either….until I get on the scale!

I also love seeing the holiday season in the rearview mirror. It's a bit of a relief to get back to a normal routine….although for me, it doesn't really feel "normal" until inventory and its related work is finished. And inventory time for us is savings time for you! Come in on January 1 for deals on fabric and more. What a good time to start your next project!

Don't be left out! Join us for our casual social sew-ins. Angela hosts a needleturn applique day every 3rd Wednesday, and Patty hosts a wool applique day every 2nd Tuesday. These are not lessons, just a chance to stitch with others who share your passion. There's no charge. Come when you can, leave when you must. Look for full details in this newsletter.As we start the new year, all of us at Creekside Quilting want to thank you for your friendship and your business. We love what we do and you brighten our day every time you come in. Thanks for sharing your love of quilting with us.

The Wool Corner

No cost - bring your show & tell and handwork

Interest in wool continues to grow and our wool applique club is growing right along with it. We've added more patterns by both familiar and new designers, kits, and many more colors of perle cotton to our inventory.

Just in case…..Although I don't want to think about it, I guess we have to acknowledge that it could snow soon.

What's our policy for closing in inclement weather? We have always tried to open as close to our scheduled time as possible and to stay open until our scheduled closing time. However, when the roads are bad, we'll put safety first. To avoid disappointment, please call before you head our way when there's snow or ice.
