A few words about our current President, Elaine Young;

The quilting bug first bit me in the winter of 2004. I took my first class at the Quilters Cupboard in Uxbridge and nothing has been the same since. My other hobbies, cross stitch, embroidery, knitting and scrap booking, have all taken a back seat to this addictive disease. I’ve been lucky to have expert guidance in my projects and look forward to learning more from my guild members and my friends in quilting.
