Classes, Workshops, & Events
Every Thursday, 6pm
CQ Studio Members are invited to partake in summer’s bounty! This year’s gardens are overgrown with wonderful summer fruits and veggies. If you have some extra, bring it in on Thursday evening… Swap for some other yummy snacks, or give them to those who don’t have the good fortune to grow their own. All CQ members are invited to come, chat, hang out, create, and partake — even if you don’t have a garden of your own!
FREE to CQ Members.
Crafters Quarters will be closed:
July 3rd & 4th
to enjoy this beautiful holiday weekend. Please take care, enjoy a cookout, watch the fireworks, and then come in on Tuesday when we reopen at 10am as usual! 
Deby Ryan, an alterations and upholstery expert!
Almost every Tuesday, 6pm ’til closing time.
Master Seamtress Deby Ryan will be at the CQ studio for FREE personal consultations. Bring in your alterations, upholstery, or garment design issues and she’ll offer her advice based on over 3 decades of experience. Then you can decide whether you’d like to tackle it on your own, book a class, or have Deby do all the work for you! No high-pressure sales, just great advice.
Rollover the calendar date on the right to see if Deby will be in this Tuesday!
If possible, please RSVP at 978-388-8000 to let us know when you will be joining us. RSVP is not a requirement, though, so feel free to just stop by… Thanks!

CQ members are invited to join a fabric shopping caravan to Sawyer Brook Fabrics in Clinton, MA! This is not an “official” CQ event, just some CQ members getting together to drive and shop.
We are planning to meet for an (optional) lunch at 11:30am, then take off to Clinton for an afternoon at the fabric warehouse showroom! Sawyer Brook Fabrics primarily carries garment fabrics, buttons, and more.
Please let us know by Friday, July 9, if you are planning to join us, and whether you would prefer to be a driver or passenger. Since this is just a gathering, it is FREE — but we ask that you contribute something to the person who drives.
