VCQ'sCelebration 2024

Virginia Consortium of Quilters (VCQ) sponsors a 3 day retreat every 2 years that includes 2 days of workshops with nationally known teachers.  We meet at the 4-H Center at Smith Mountain Lake near Roanoke, Virginia.  What an idyllic setting!  It's a great place to get away for a few days to pursue our quilting hobby, enjoy comradery and long-time friendships, and appreciate the outdoors.  A bonus is that there is no cooking involved - just go to the dining hall for buffet meals!  This year's event was held April 18-21, and this is the first of several posts.  This one is dedicated to sharing photos of the facility.  Other posts will feature show & tell and challenge quilts, and the 2 classes that Sue participated in.  Elizabeth was unable to attend this year because she was otherwise occupied on a 30-day cruise to Fiji and other stops in the Pacific!

At the lake; the gazebo is new since we were there 2 years ago.

Chairs along the shore.

An area of the grounds I had not visited before - a 3-hole golf course.

We also had some very lovely sunsets.

Wouldn't you like to join us in 2026?
