    MVQU Charity Workshop - October 21, 2025

    12:30 - 3:00 at Hollin Hall Senior Center, Room 112

    It's Lucky Fifth Tuesday Workshop Time! What? You don't think so? It's because in September there was one, but we were away at our fabulous retreat, so we rescheduled for Oct 21 instead. So bring your sewing machine and accoutrements or just your stitching hands -- We'll have kits ready to piece together and hand work that needs doing also! This time we'll take 5" WOF strips and make them into diagonal block quilts. Will you finish a whole top at the workshop? Or will you be slowed down by catching up with friends telling stories from the retreat? See you there!

    Musician and quilter Eliza Hardy Jones traveled across the US and Northwest Russia interviewing women and gathering their songs. She developed a notation method that transcribes these songs into quilts. Each Song Quilt celebrates the contributions of “women’s work” to national identity, global culture, and shared traditions.

    About the speaker:
    Julie Silber is a nationally-known lecturer, author, consultant and curator. For more than thirty-five years, she has been speaking on quilts as a way of exploring the rich world of our female past.

     She will be sharing how women have always expressed their whole selves in quilts: their love, losses, accomplishments, joys, and sorrows … and their humor! Plan to enjoy some very funny 19th and 20th century quilts that will have you smiling.

    Join us for a quilty weekend at West River Retreat Center to quilt with your friends and enjoy nature.

    https://westrivercenter.org/

    Anticipated Total: $300

    Deposit: $150

    Balance: Likely $150

    We'll collect a deposit of $150 upon registration, and then the balance of [likely]  $150  is due by 11:59 pm January 12, 2026.  Refunds are possible up to January 12th. 

    We will open to Big QU on January 13th, 2026.

    Rooms: There are 12 rooms, each with 2 twin beds plus a bunk bed per room, so plan for a roommate.  We are aiming for 2 people per room but if you'd like 3 in a room, that can be arranged.  If we don't reach capacity, singles may be available, and would be offered on a lottery basis.

    Please list the name of your roommate(s) (if applicable) when you register.

    Meals: Saturday breakfast, lunch, and dinner are provided.  Sunday breakfast and lunch are provided.  No meals provided on Friday so bring your own or make other arrangements.

    A Note on Cost:

    The total cost will be divided by the total # of registrants, so we won't have an exact amount until after the retreat.  Any overages will be refunded.  We are aiming for at least 20 registrants. If we have 20, the eventual cost will be around $195 each.  If we have 24, the eventual cost will be around $165.


    --------------------------------------------------------


    Note: We are assessing interest for whether people want to stay overnight Sunday into Monday.  This would likely be an additional per-person cost, departing 2 pm Mon March 9th.

    This "event" was created to assess whether people are interested in staying over Sun night also, to extend the ARL QU Spring Retreat an extra day.  

    If you are interested (this is not a commitment, you can absolutely change your mind), please register for this no-cost "event".

    -------------------------------------------------------

    Note: If we did add Sunday, min # of people is 18, and each of the 18 people would pay $56 per person.  Meals are not included in the $56.

    Meal service also requires a minimum of 18 people, and if we chose yes, Sun night dinner is an extra and $18.50 each, and Mon breakfast is extra and $14.50 each. 

    There are several eating establishments close by, so one scenario could be that 18 people stay overnight and people make their own food arrangements for Sun night and Mon am.

    Departing time would be 11 am Mon March 9th.

    During this 4-hour class we will cover 3 different methods for sewing curves so that each student can discover the method that works best for them. We will also be sewing a block that has a curve within the curve, Drunkard’s path, and Orange Peels! 

    This is a great intermediate curves class for quilters who want to gain confidence is sewing multiple style of curves blocks. 

    By the end of this class most students complete the wall hanging size of the pattern. Students will have the skills and confidence to make the throw size quilt if they choose. 

    This class uses my Retro Curved Pieced Quilts book. Each student will be required to purchase the book for the class. Student’s will need to precut their fabric before the class to make the most of our time together.

    Nicki Allen - Landscape in a Hoop


    Nicki will teach you the basics of a fiber landscape - with a twist! The entire project will be completed in a hand embroidery hoop. She will display how layering fabrics of different color, size, and value can result in a dimensional art quilt. Basic embroidery stitches will be used to secure the landscape and add texture. The hoop acts as both a tool to keep your fabric pieces tight, and a frame from which to hang the finished project. Be forewarned, these are addictive!

    The registration fee is $50.

    The fee includes a mandatory kit that contains all the supplies needed to complete the project. Including needle and embroidery floss.  Students only need to bring scissors and a needle threader if they find threaders helpful.  Bringing a small rotary cutter and small 12x12 mat is optional.

    Parking is available in the main lot and on the street.  Please do not use the lower parking level as that is for the pre-school.

When quilters don’t have access to a stash of quilter’s cotton, what do they turn to? This one hour lecture, trunk show and Q & A session shows quilts - antique and modern - made of wool, silk, polyester and more. The trunk show of her own work shows what you can create with neck ties , saris, kimonos and other unusual not cotton textiles. juliamcleodquilts.com
