We strive to produce quality clothing that will provide years of wear, as well as the popular hats at our second location, the “Hat Cart”, located just down the hill from O’Shucks above the Lyric Stage.

New this week: a full walkthrough from the MDRF entrance, past the hat cart, straight to our booth.

If you’re new to the grounds (or just bad with directions, no judgment), this one’s for you.

One of Catherine of Aragon’s lesser-known legacies: during her years away from court, she taught local women embroidery and lacemaking, helping start a cottage needlework industry that gave ordinary women a real trade.

That thread (pun intended) runs pretty close to how we still do things today — small-batch, hand-sewn, real skill behind every piece.

A peek behind the scenes: our pieces are sewn locally, by hand, by people right here in the DMV/PA area — homesewn and individually crafted.

Heading to MDRF next weekend?

Q Heart3 lives across from the White Hart Tavern and just past the Lyric Stage — save this post so you’ve got the landmark handy when you’re walking the grounds.

A little reminder before the season kicks off: however you say hello, you’re welcome at our booth — no “right” way to do it, no pressure to look a certain way.

If you’re in the mood to try a new hat this year, we’ve got options. If not, that’s fine too. We’re just glad you’re coming.

Real talk: most garb doesn’t come with pockets.

Our reversible pouches solve that problem, and you get two totally different looks out of one piece. Function and versatility, handled.

Some QHeart history for you: the very first booth opened at the Sterling Renaissance Festival in 1978, with a second booth added at the Maryland Renaissance Festival in 1979. Though the Sterling booth was sold years later, QHeart has continued on at MDRF ever since.

Not one family passed down through the years but 3 independent women. Not one bloodline — each one bringing her own heart, soul, and flavor to it. Swipe through for a look at the most recent years.
