The Virginia Consortium of Quilters is a state-wide organization of quilters which meets in person three times a year in various parts of the state. In 2020, we started offering online classes and now have a mix of in person and 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 in-person meeting, we usually have a choice of workshops with local instructors, lunch, and a short business meeting. Our online offerings feature local and national quilting instructors.
In even numbered years we have a 4-day “Celebration of Quilting” Spring retreat with local and national teachers at the Skelton 4-H Educational Center at Smith Mountain Lake. 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 1990s, which also led to publication of our book, Quilts of Virginia, 1607 – 1899.
Quilts of Virginia: 1607-1899
The book is the result of VCQ’s quilt documentation project of the 1980s. Purchase from local quilt shops, co-author Paula Golden, or Amazon. Read more about this wonderful book!
