Blast from the Past

Videos Showcasing Past Creations’ Events

Over the years we’ve had tons of fun especially with our themed Bluebonnet Trail Shop Hop events and our annual Anniversary celebrations. Over the years, our webmaster Sharon took photos and videos at these events and put them up on our website to share with the attendees as well as those who didn’t get to come. Luckily, she has kept many of those videos and photos and we bring them back to life here – just in time for our Farewell Celebration.

Creations Tutorial Videos (During COVID)

Did you see the Tutorial Videos that Kathy and Tina published during the lockdown days of COVID?

They published 5 informative videos which have been on our Creations Tutorials page ever since 2002, but you may have never seen them.

We encourage to visit our Creations Tutorial page to see all 5 video tutorials as well as to read through the 6 written tutorials Kathy created to share her knowledge of threads and decorative stitching techniques. You might want to print these written tutorials as they will go away at the end of July when the store closes.
