Check with Pat Sloan http://patsloan.typepad.com/. She's in VA and could be a good resource for you.

Jinny Beyer's shop is also in VA http://www.jinnybeyer.com/.

There is a list somewhere, I don't have the link any longer, for guilds in VA.

Happy Quilting!

Hi Joan,
I'm from NH so not exactly your next door neighbor LOL, but....
if you scroll to the top of the page and click on 'Search' then click on 'Find a Member', enter your 'state' and click on Submit. Every TQS member who is from your state will come up. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your replies! I didn't think anyone was out there! I will be looking up your suggestions, and hopefully find a quilting buddy!

Oh Joan you are most fortunate. You landed in a quilt maker rich environment. I moved a couple of years ago from there and still am in mourning. Here's a site for a big guild and they have a Burke chapter.

And here's a great quilt friendly fabric store that has 3 stores in the DC area. They like to hang a mini-show each month of local quilters

I know you'll be hearing shortly from the TQS members who see this Forum entry soon.

Hi Joan,
Good luck on your new home & neighborhood! I'm from Pt. Loma, SD...work for SD City Schools! Sorry I can't help you w/any quilt shops, but good luck in your search.

Hi, I am new to all this forum and blogging. My son has been helping me before he leaves for college. We moved to Burke, Virginia from San Diego, California, in July, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of quilt shops in and around the area, quilt guilds, quilt shows, anything! I have been quilting since 1989, was a Navy wife, raised three boys who are all in college this year, was a librarian and reading teacher in San Diego, and now that my husband has a job as a judge in D.C. I find myself retired, with an empty nest and wanting to quilt full time. Anybody out there near here??
