WELCOME TO THE HAYMARKET CHAPTER OF QUILTERS UNLIMITED!

We welcome everyone who is interested in quilting. HQU is a very active chapter which wants all members to understand our activities and join in the fun from the moment you sign up. Every month we offer multiple educational opportunities, in-person bees, a business meeting as well as community service sewing. We offer 3 retreats every year.

Our goals are to encourage learning about all aspects of quilting by offering formal and informal educational opportunities, creating quilts for our community service partners and sharing our work in a non-judgmental environment. Our membership draws from all over Northern Virginia as well as other states. We have quilters of all skill levels who use a wide range of skills and techniques --- traditional, modern, applique, EPP, FPP, hand and machine quilting, to name a few.

REGULAR MEETING SCHEDULE

We meet September through June and our activities are structured as follows.  Please check the calendar for exact date/time info.

  • Week 1 – Education lecture, educational workshop, both on Zoom
  • Week 3 – Community Service sewing (in-person), Early Bird education (Zoom), monthly Business Meeting and Sew & Tell (both in-person at Alvey Elementary School Haymarket VA)
  • Week 4 - Sit and Sew (in-person at Warrenton Presbyterian Church)
  • Ad Hoc – Sit and Sew (in-person at Haymarket Library)

As you see, there is a lot happening at HQU!  Contact HQUPresident@QuiltersUnlimited.org with questions.
