Welcome to the Southern California Council of Quilt Guilds (SCCQG) website. The purpose of this site is to provide council information to member guilds, business partners, and individual members.
The Southern California Council of Quilt Guilds (a 501 (c) (6) association) was organized for several purposes:
To foster and promote knowledge and participation in the craft/art form of quilting, patchwork, appliqué, and all other aspects of quilt making.
To act as an information network for quilt guilds with similar objectives in promoting continued interest in quilt making.
To provide a forum for cooperative endeavors among all quilt guilds in Southern California and surrounding areas.
To readily inform quilt guilds and individual quilters of resources available to them.
To encourage development of friendships state, nation, and world wide.
To foster education through cooperative sharing of speakers, teachers, and programs for member guilds.
To act as a resource for those wishing to organize new guilds.
To maintain a calendar for quilting events in the Southern California geographic area and to make such information readily available.
The council meets quarterly at alternating sites provided by hostess guilds to discuss areas of interest to our member guilds, our individual members who range from recreational quilters to professional quilters, and to our business members who own or operate quilt related business. At this time we have over 80 member guilds, from areas near central California, to Baja, Mexico, and east to Las Vegas, Nevada. Areas of concern or interest are researched and discussed, and information is disseminated to guilds through their representatives that attend meetings or receive our newsletters, and to our individual and business members. We believe this Council is a valuable resource that links quilt organizations and resources, and provides a forum for open and positive communication.
If you would like to contact someone on the council, you have questions on how to become a member, or you need additional information about council activities, please go to the Board Members page and send an email to the appropriate person.
