About Adirondack Creative Threads

Welcome to Adirondack Creative Threads, LLC. We are a small quilt shop in Lewis, New York, in the beautiful Adirondack Mountains.

I learned to sew at 9 years old in 4-H. I had a wonderful teacher who taught me how to make my own clothes. I also learned to sew from my grandmother and Mother. As an adult I taught myself to make quilts as gifts from Quilt in a Day books, by Eleanor Burns.

For the past 4 years I have had a small sewing business doing alterations, quilting, embroidery and during the pandemic I made over 4,000 masks. I had a vision of starting a quilt shop when I retired from my career in 5 years. Life quickly changed when I lost my mother unexpectedly on April 20, 2021, and decided life is too short and wanted to do what I love full time.

On July 21, 2021, I changed my Sole Proprietor business “Kelly’s Kreations” to Adirondack Creative Threads, LLC. When I retire in October 2026 from my full-time job, I will be open full time. For now, I am open evenings, weekends and holidays. I recently said, “It took me 52 years to finally figure out what I want to do when I grow up”.

I will provide the following services:

  • Alterations – bridal gowns, hem pants and repair holes.

  • Embroidery – I have a 10-needle Pfaff embroidery machine to be able to embroider a variety of designs and

sizes.

  • Memory Bears, Quilts and Pillows- from loved ones who have passed and want to keep them close.

  • Quilts – I create quilts from scratch for anyone who wants a masterpiece.

  • Online Store – to sell fabric and all your sewing needs.

  • Sewing Classes for all ages and experience.

  • Sell Fabric

  • Longarm - I have a HQ Forte 24. I am able to quilt a baby quilt to a king size quilt on my 12 foot frame

  • Sublimation - Coming January 2023

  • Vinyl - T-shirts

I would like to start a quilting group and have open sewing get togethers to sew and learn new techniques.

For now, my shop is in the basement of my home and in the future my Vision for my Sewing Business will be to build a new shop and expand a goal is to have 15,000 to 20,000 bolts of fabric in stock. I want to be the region’s largest fabric store in Upstate New York. I have given myself 5 -10 years to accomplish this vision. I also would like to be a distributor of HandiQuilter machines and Pfaff Sewing Machines.

Soon I will be putting together a newsletter and Facebook Live when new products arrive and can be purchased on my website.

Thank you!
