Reston

Reston QU covers the Reston/Herndon/Sterling area of Northern Virginia.  We are an open community of quilters sharing a variety of skill levels, quilting techniques and styles, and interests in creativity. 

We meet twice a month in the evening, and welcome visitors and anyone interested in learning about our organization.  The second Tuesday each month is our business meeting with Show & Tell of members projects.  The 4th Tuesday of each month is a program meeting to offer outside speakers or special events.  We have standard meeting times and places, however, please check the individual calendar of events for the most current information. 

A Weekly Quilting Bee is available at the Herndon Fortnightly Library with space and tools for sewing, cutting, designing and sharing quilting with an open community of fellow quilters.  The space is open to the public from 10 AM - 2 PM each week.  

Throughout the year, RQU offers many additional opportunities for members thru:

  • Retreats at local venues
  • Quilting bees and sew-in gatherings at local libraries
  • Workshops for our program speakers
  • Community charity projects
