Watch for exciting classes this year (in person and online) in the right column under Highlights!

Our online Come Quilt With Me Zoom sessions are a lot of fun! We decided to try a new schedule and see how you all like it! We now offer Come Quilt With Me on every Sunday from 2pm to 6pm. Join your VCQ friends from your own studio! Sew blocks for ALS charity quilts, and bassinet covers. Or work on your own projects and chat with quilting friends. Or just stop in to chat!
Open to VCQ members only. Check our Members Only section for the Zoom link.

The Virginia Consortium of Quilters is a state-wide organization of quilters which meets three to four times a year in various parts of the state during non-pandemic years. During the pandemic, we are offering online meetings and monthly online classes. We are a non-profit organization whose purpose is to promote quilting, provide community service and document quilting in Virginia. Our organization is open to everyone interested in quilting, and members come from surrounding states as well as Virginia. At each quarterly meeting held in March, May, August and November we have a choice of 4-5 workshops, lunch, and a short business meeting. In even numbered years we have a 4-day "Celebration of Quilting" retreat with national teachers at Smith Mountain Lake 4-H Center. Come join us to meet new quilting friends, learn new techniques and see the beautiful countryside of Virginia.

The Virginia Quilt Museum was founded in 1995 by VCQ members. It grew out of VCQ's documentation project of the early 1990's, which also led to publication of our book, Quilts of Virginia, 1607 - 1899.
