Silent Auction
This year's silent auction, Little Quilts, Big Talents, invited quilters from across the nation to make a small piece to be auctioned. All proceeds from this event go to the support of VQM.
English Teas
The lower level of the museum is transformed to an English tea room several times each year. Fundraisers for the museum, these are special events with good food, pleasant company, and a brief program.
Raffle
Our 2013 Raffle Quilt is a stunning replica of the oldest quilt in the Virginia Quilt Museum's collection, the Chintz Medallion (c. 1810). The reproduction fabrics were meticulously recreated by Quilting Treasures. Current Vice President of our Board of Directors, Josephine Millett, machine pieced and quilted our beautiful opportunity quilt. The quilt will be on display at the Virginia Quilt Museum and various quilt shows around the commonwealth. Tickets are available for $1.00 each.
Group Tours
Special guided group tours can be arranged for adults and children. Prescheduled groups of 10 or more qualify for a discounted admission rate. To schedule your group’s visit, please complete a Group Tour Request Form and submit it to the Museum at least three (3) weeks before you would like to visit. Once your tour date has been approved and scheduled, you will receive a confirmation letter. Please contact Meegan Carr, Executive Director, with any questions.
Quilt Study Roundtable
Several times annually, the museum sponsors presentations by well known quilters and quilt historians on quilts through history, dating of quilts, conservation and care, and specific quilters from the past.
Classes
Classes are periodically held at VQM for adults wanting to learn new techniques, for children at all levels of sewing skills, and for groups such as Girl Scouts.
