Join her each month on the last Thursday (from 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM or for you "nightclubbers", 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM) and make a block that you can turn into a small monthly wallhanging or save up for a sampler quilt.

Make Your Own Class!
Is there something you want to do that's not on our list? Well, you can make your own class! Even if it's just you by yourself, even if it's a project you started years ago and need help to finish, Elise is here to help you! When you call for info, we'll give you her e-mail address, and the two of you will set up your own private session at Q, using our machines and cutting tables. Minimum one hour. Class fee is $10/hour. You must pay in advance for one hour and no refunds will be given on this class since we will still need to pay Elise for her time. Get started on that dream project now!
