Good Week

Summer Time!

,

SO....Summer time is here for sure. And its all been busy here. We have done several quilts in the last few months since we last posted and now we have caught a slight breather we wanted to let you know that we are for sure still here. and working as ever. Victoria moved to Kansas at the beginning of May and is now solely working on the internet aspects of the business. Cynthia is going strong with making quilts for people. And has more open slots for people since school is out. She finished out the school year strong, but glad to be able to just work in the sewing room. 

One of our quilts that stands out, we took some of the extra's from the left over T-shirts and made a pillow to accompany the T-Shirt Quilt. And They will be loved very much. The customer's eye's just lite up when she picked the quilt up. 

We currently have 3 projects in studio, and a few more on the way. We sure do love making these quilts for every one. 

Spring Break!

HI everyone,

Our Spring break has started here in the studio. If you've already done yours or its next week we hope that its a good one for you.

We started it off by going to the Dallas Quilt Show. We had a lot of fun going this year and with zero expectations, that made it all the more. We loved all of it. We walked through the actual quilts first. The art that some people can do with a little bit of thread and fabric is simply amazing.  Our favorite was the Egyptian Quilt. The amount of work and time that the quilter had to put into it was extensive. But it was truly beautiful. Looked like something that could go in a museum.  There  were several others that were very well done but that is the one that stuck out to us. 

After looking at all of the quilts, we went through the vendors. We found several from around the state that had lovely fabric and both, Victoria and I, got fabric for a new project quilt that we plan to work on during this week.  Victoria's is a doing a Celtic pieced designed quilt. Cynthia got two different ones, a cross with appliqued flowers and a log cabin sea life quilt. We are very much looking forward to working on these quilts. 

So for anyone else who went to the Dallas Quilt Show we hope that you enjoyed it as much as we did. 

We have also finished all of our current customer quilts and will be just working on personal projects this week. If you need any long-arm quilting done or would like to get a T-Shirt Quilt done for graduation please give us a call, we would be more than happy to get it done for you. By the way you only have about 70 days until graduation is upon you. 

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope everyone is loving all the food and time with family and friends. We here at C & D Creations are having  great time. Last night we did a hot dog roast and s'mores by fire. It was a fabulous time. 

We are planning some fun for today but at the moment our breakfast is cooking. So fun is for later. 

On the topic of business and work we got everything we needed to finish before thanksgiving done last week so we were able to relax this week. When we get back we have lots to get done but just a few items left to finish for Christmas. It will be good to get it done. We do have a few openings for finishing quilts by Edge to Edge.

For now that is all we have. 

Enjoy Turkey Day! 

Its long two weeks!

Sorry we haven't been on here in about two weeks. but its been a long two weeks. So a simple run down of it. We got a project in worked and finished a few personal projects here in the Sewing Room. A Family member was involved in a Motorcycle accident, he walked away from it with only a few scraps and bruises. Praise the Lord! oh and labor day weekend came and went by way to fast.

Everyone is doing ok from everything.

Here in the sewing room we are getting ready for the holiday rush that we know will come. Just waiting the other day we saw on Facebook that there are only 15 more Fridays till Christmas. very hard to believe that. We've been working on donations hoping to take those quilts soon off to were they are needed. Yah know quilts speak to you, especially donation ones as you sew them they give you an idea of were some one is waiting for it.  And then there are so many other quilts that we want to get finished and send to their forever home. We will somehow manage to get that accomplished. 

Currently I am cutting up the T-shirt left overs to be made into donation quilts with other donated fabric that we have received. let me tell you, You might not think that there is much fabric in a shirt but there is tons of it. We plan to donate the extra fabric T-shirt square quilts to the homeless shelter or to a veterans group.  

If you need a quilt top turned into a quilt or have too many special T-shirts that you can't part with let us make a quilt for you. We work with almost every fabric textile so before giving up just give us a call.  We want to help you!

School started, Business is still going

Hi Everyone, we hope that the back to school season is going well for everyone.

Cynthia is back at school and ready for the students ( they start on Monday at her district.) While Victoria has started some fun learning activities for her son. So while the learning is going strong already we noticed our calendar earlier this week. We only have a few months and it will be Thanksgiving and Christmas time.  If you look carefully the decorations for the holidays are already out in the stores most just have the Halloween stuff out but I have caught Christmas Ornaments and a few Thanksgiving things here and there. Scary how the stores are already pushing us in that direction.

But on that note we also want to let you know if your wanting a quilt made for a gift for Christmas its time to get those orders in. While we are talented and can get a lot done between now and then. It still takes time for us to make a quilt and get it back to you. 

So are you wondering what you should do.  Well grab a beloved ones T-shirts and bring them in and well make a wonderful T-shirt quilt for them. It is supposed to get cold around here this winter according to the Farmers Almanac. Or grab those jeans she just hasn't been able to throw out but she can't wear them in public now because they are so worn. We can make a beautiful new purse for her.  

So get to thinking about what you want to give for the holidays and then give us a call so we can help you get it done.
