Mid Year

As A mid year over view. We have had a steady in and out of quilts. While a little slow we also understand that we are still new. But we would really like to continue growing our business. So we just like to check in and see how everyone was doing. Let you know that you currently have a little less than six months till Christmas so starting getting your quilts in for quilting, we have the time to do several memory quilts before then. So be thinking, don't wait till the last minute.

Victoria is doing well and just keeping up the internet side of the business, as well as putting together donation quilts in her spare time. The little guy takes up lots of time, as does the continually changing schedule of the army. She is just enjoying life and keeping at it with her family.

Cynthia is running the whole studio on her own now and is having a fantastic time with it all. She is currently busy with a few different quilts customer and personal so never a dull moment in the studio. Don't forget though that she goes back to school in mid August so the amount of quilts that can be done will be limited. Get your quilt tops and projects in for completion.

Christmas around the Corner

Hi everyone. We are excited that Christmas is right around the corner. We have a lot of family activities going on, With family members coming in to celebrate the holidays and a little one that makes everything Christmas fun except maybe decorations since he loves playing with them instead of leaving the decor alone. Thank you inventor of the shatter proof ornaments, or at least they are shatter proof till an adult steps on them.

Here at the studio we finished our last Christmas gift quilt this week. It turned out great in our opinion. its very classic looking; as it was made from antique quilts and remake of retro fabric. it looks super! we hope that the couple receiving it for Christmas will cherish it for a long time. As for some of our readers I know you probably had a mini-spasm to us using an antique quilts. But it was either use them and give them a new life or it was going in the trash. They had been very well loved since they were originally stitched into being. 

Once the new year gets here we will be returning to work in the studio getting ready for the next big thing for when quilts would be given.......Graduations. We look forward to that. Remember that there are lots of different quilts that can be done and make wonderful gifts for those graduating. Quilts also make great gifts for people on their Birthday or special occasions. All quilts we make are complete custom for those that are ordering them. We do our best to make what you have imagined into a reality. We do this by keeping the customer involved at every step of the quilt.

Anyways Got to get back to Christmas preparations. Wishing Everyone a Merry Christmas and A Happy New year!

A new month.

Yesterday started the new month of October. October is such a fun month. Halloween, Fall Festivals, Candy, (though we here at C & D Creations aren't a fan) Scary movies and tricks. But most of all cooler weather even for those in the south. Granted our cooler weather doesn't mean wearing sweaters and other cozy clothes or have fireplaces going it just mean we aren't cooking in the 90+ degree weather any more. 

Which makes us start thinking about blankets and quilts and other items that will keep us warm as winter comes. So we are working on plenty of donations right now while we wait on the Christmas rush. Which will surely come. 

So if you are needing a quilt to be finished and your go to quilter is booked full give us a try.  We have plenty of room to get your quilt done and if you get it to us before thanksgiving we promise to have it done in time for you to give it as a present for Christmas.  

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.
