Quilters Unlimited

Our goal is to encourage the quilting arts and to have fun learning and sharing.

The Springfield Chapter of QU meets EVERY Tuesday (9:30am – noon) year-round at the Firehall of the Greater Springfield Volunteer Fire Department (GSVFD) at 7011 Backlick Road, Springfield, VA 22150.

Our chapter is filled with quilters of all skill levels, and we are continually learning from each other! We have a wide variety of quilting styles, traditional, modern, art quilting, applique, hand quilting and machine quilting.

Special events and activities will be announced as they arise, so be sure to check our [calendar of events] for more information on our activities. Quilters are welcome to join our Facebook Page (5) Springfield QU Quilters | Facebook by answering a few questions. You are also welcome to check our [calendar of events] for more information about our activities.

Our monthly meeting schedule is:

o First Tuesday – A short Business Meeting followed by In-House Programs (educational fun!), Show and Tell, Door Prizes and the “Free Table”.

o Second and Fourth Tuesday - These extra meeting days are for “Sit and Sew” activities which are informal gatherings to come and to sew (machines welcome!), baste your quilts, or just chat with quilting friends. We have irons, cutting mats, table risers to pin quilts, etc.)

o Third Tuesday – This is our program meeting day where we invite professional teachers to visit us with a trunk show or lecture open to all members. These teachers may also schedule associated workshops in the afternoon. SQU will provide the pricing and workshop information.

o 5th Tuesday of the month - On these "bonus" days (2 or 3 a year) we will, if possible, schedule special events such as sewing support for our Community Service partners.

o Summer Months – June – August – The Bingo Hall is open every Tuesday for Sit & Sew activity.

Although we have standard meeting times and places, please check the individual calendar of events for the most current information.
