Use scrap fabrics (ours or yours) to create quilt tops to warm children in need! We need your help to sew quilts for a wonderful local charity: Blankets for Kids. We will have plenty of scrap material already cut, and some simple but beautiful patterns to design the quilts. All we will need are volunteers to piece them together! Pick up some quilting piecing tips and techniques, hone your skills, hang out with fun folks, and do some good for children in need! Read more >
Hurricane Irene is coming to town and the Governor has declared a State of Emergency in the Commonwealth. We are closing the CQ Studio on Sunday, August 28, to encourage everyone to stay off the roads.
Stay home and take care today. See you on Tuesday!

Get outside to enjoy the weather, celebrate Labor Day, and then come by during the rest of the week!

Check this out! You won’t believe the pinwheels are the same fabric as the border! It’s all in the way it’s cut! Based on Bethany Reynold’s Stack-n-Whack method, this quilt is approx. 90″-94″ square, enough for a queen size coverlet. Read more >
