Advanced Beginner Quilt Class with Rosi

Begins February 4th

This class is designed as a follow up to the Beginning Quilt Making class. It is also a good refresher if you have been away from the art of quilting for awhile. Instructions will cover completing a more advanced quilt, based on one of 4 patterns.

Thread Painting with Nanette

In this class, students will learn the basic techniques needed to color with thread using a sewing machine. In a hands‐on process, students will learn how to successfully use fabrics, stabilizers, threads and other tools to create thread‐painted designs.

Longarm Quilting News

We are currently taking orders for March 2019 delivery.

There's no need to bring batting; we have it in packages and by the inch on large rolls.

Show and Tell

Did you know that we have a Show and Tell page on Facebook, just for showing off what you've created?

Made by Brenda from one of Rosi's patterns, available in the shop!

We are proud to partner with Carole of From My Carolina Home in her efforts to provide quilts to our NC neighbors who were so profoundly affected by the 2018 hurricanes.

Whether you are making a quilt specifically for this cause, or you have one finished and sitting on a shelf in your home, all quilts are welcome. Do you have a completed quilt that you could part with for someone who lost everything?

This project will continue through summer of 2019, so there is plenty of time to make and drop off a quilt.

Cary Quilting Company is glad to be a drop off site for this generous project.

Our first delivery of quilts!

Take me to the tutorial!

Free Pattern

If you've heard of "Tidying Up with Marie Kondo" on Netflix, you might be fascinated with a new-found love of organizing drawers and closets. Marie often brings small boxes to help her clients tidy their lives, but Julianne thought it would spark joy for her to make my own! This tutorial by Julianne Walther will teach you how to create your own organizing boxes.

I just want to say a quick word of thanks to everyone who came to visit us last weekend during our 6th Birthday celebration! I was absolutely overwhelmed by the love, and we are excited to begin our 7th year of serving our amazing community of quilters. Thank you!

- Julianne and the entire CQC staff
