VQU will host its annual Spring Retreat at the Claggett Center (https://www.claggettcenter.org/) in Adamstown, Md.  The Retreat starts Friday, 10 April, 9:00 a.m. and ends Sunday, 12 April, 2:00 p.m.

We will have all three rooms (Monocacy, Potomac, and Shenandoah) that comprise the conference center's primary meeting space. The retreat theme is "Elegant and Effortless" so come ready to have some fun upping your quilting game to a FASCINATING new level! Also, there will be many door prizes given throughout the weekend to include a brand new sewing machine laser donated by SewLite, a Singer Featherweight II 117 sewing machine, and prizes for the "Fascinator" you made and your modeling of it. Of course, there will also be demos, trivia, nature walks and other events you can participate in, as desired.
