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.

    You must be a paid 2025-2026 HQU member to sign up for this workshop.

    This workshop is going to be a little different than most workshops. The first session (March 20) will be on Zoom and cover all the instructions and tips to make the rug. It will be recorded and the recording will be available to people taking the workshop for a few weeks. There will also be an optional, in-person session on March 27 (at the Warrenton Presbyterian Church during Sit & Sew). Jen will be available to help address any questions you have and help you with your rug. 


    The workshop is limited to HQU members. An email will be sent to HQU members with signup instructions, including a code to be used when signing up. The workshop is limited to 25 participants. The Zoom link will be sent to workshop participants a day or two prior to the workshop.
