Drop in and see us!

Since we encourage you to call and talk to us, we thought you might like a visual image of who you are talking with. You never know who might answer that phone, and we will all be delighted to help you...

We'll start with a photo of us (Kathy and Julie) about the time we started the store (27 years ago)......

Kinda makes you wonder -- We're asked way too often which of us is the oldest -- This photo should put that question to rest (for those of you who know us - we're sure you can identify us).

 
The Staff
One of the things we are most proud of concerning our business is the length of time people are willing to work with us...
     
 

If you call on Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday, you'll find...
Kathryn -- 9 years
She has made most of the great bags you'll see throughout the store.

 

 

  If you need us on Thursday or Friday, you'll meet some combination of these three...
Left to right - Meet Maisie, Corine and Val
Maisie -- 18 years
She does all of our beautiful handwork--teaches classes in applique and stitchery -- and is actually brave enough to work in our booth at the Houston International Quilt Festival.
Corine -- 10 years
Her specialty for classes is machine applique and piecing techniques, but we call her our "do it all girl".
Val -- 5 years this time
She's back after a several year absence -- out of the country with hubby -- We won't let her get away again. Val teaches our beginning quilting classes.
     
 
Meet Ginger -- 16 years
She brings great ideas for display and decorating. She's having a ball in our new location!
     
 
Meet Kathy Voss -- Kathy joined us this fall. You'll find her smiling face Monday - Wednesday or Saturday. Her expertise is in garment construction, but she has great color sense to help you plan your quilt.
     
 

Meet Patsy --
If you arrive at Creations on Sunday afternoon, you will be greeted by Patsy. She is our in-store rug hooking and wool applique expert, but she would be just as eager to help you plan a quilt or decide on fabric for a garment.

     
 
Meet Mary -- 2 years
Two years ago, Mary Mitchell joined us. She brings many years experience as she had her own custom drapery business in Connecticut. She and her hubby, Peter, moved to Kerrville to retire!!!!! She loves to sew and you will find her here on Monday and Tuesday - our idea of retirement.
     
  Meet "Mr. Willie" -- 13 years
You might recognize him from Our House..
Well he's now our Mr. Fixit. He's a pretty special fellow to be able to work with all these women. His wife has trained him well...
     
 

Catty Wampus has retired from retailing. Not surprisingly, after experiencing several months off she has opted for the leisurely life instead of returning to the spotlight.

She is turning over her customer relations responsibilities to our new kitties - Patches and Domino.

     
 

Tootie has retired recently, but she'll always be famous as our "office" cat -- always retrieving all the unattended faxes (see the Tale of Tootie the Fax Cat for all the true facts) -- unless of course she was busy sleeping...

     

 

Patches joined us in nearly 4 years ago, shortly after we moved Creations into the newly remodeled location. She won our hearts instantly. She loves to lounge in the office. Here she is diligently "helping" Julie locate the cause of a paper jam! Learn more about her on our Patches' Playtime page.

     
 
Domino joined us 3 1/2 years ago and has been a bundle of energy ever since. Ginger recently caught Domino taking a break from her customer greeting responsbilities to brush up on her computing skills. Learn more about her on our Patches' Playtime page.
     
Our newest kittie, Lefty, is extremely shy and doesn't stay visible long enough to have his picture taken anymore. But, you'll find a picture of him as a kitten on our Pet Projects page.
     
We are also VERY fortunate to have some great Virtual employees ---
     
 
Meet Sharon -- She works all our computer magic... It's a special talent to have the technical knowledge as well as a creative talent -- she personally made Tootie cat famous with her fax cat poem. She's pictured here with her two faithful office assistants.
   
 

Meet Mom and Dad -- Our CPA and our "packager" -- Who do you think folds all of those fat quarters?? We keep telling our dad that even though our pay is zippo -- we are such loyal customers...

Thanksgiving week started on a very sad note for Creations...
Our beloved mother passed away on November 21st, 2005. She will be missed by everyone at Creations. She was a part of Creations from the very first day and continued to help right up until her death.

     
 

Okay, okay! We are getting some grief from our loyal staff about slipping in a "slightly" outdated picture (see first picture) for our own photo. So, here we are...

Meet Kathy (left) and Julie (right), owners of Creations.
