SALE

Don't forget that we have a tradition of offering a special "private sale" during the early months of the year for those who have redeemed two or more Preferred Customer Cards during the preceding calendar year. If you qualify, you'll get an email from us in early January (assuming you subscribe to our email newsletter so that we have your email address…..if not, please subscribe before 12/31 to get your name into this year's mailing). It's our way of extending a very special thank-you to those who let us fill up their cards! (And remember, there's no expiration date on our cards.)

May your holidays be merry and bright, filled with all the very best! As the year draws to a close, we want to say thank you once again. We sincerely appreciate your business!

I've always thought that January should be National Quilting Month. With the extra holiday chores behind us, we can finally get back to our projects ….which are the best remedy for those "winter blues"! We have new samples coming soon and our scheduled fabric deliveries for January include some awesome groups. The Creekside Quilting gift card you received might not last long?
