About Us

Hi, I’m Julie Haymes, the owner of Quilting Adventures. My husband, Richard and I moved to Richmond from California in 2021, to be closer to family. I retired from a 23 year career as a Nurse-Midwife in California, he retired from a teaching career. He is now the bookkeeper, and has visions of becoming a longarm quilter.  Quilting has been a passion of mine since 2001, when I made my first quilt. For years, I dreamt of owning a quilt shop, not knowing this would come true in 2023. As the third owner of Quilting Adventures, my goal is to preserve its legacy as being a friendly, welcoming place for quilters and makers of all skill levels. All are welcome here.
