SCCQG Exhibit at Road to California 2026Just a reminder . . . SCCQG again has the pleasure of curating a Special Exhibit at the Road to California Quilt Show in January 2026. The 2026 exhibit theme is “Home is ____.” This exhibit will feature how our members use quilts/quilting to express and define “home.”
All guilds, their members, and affiliates are invited to provide quilts for this exhibit. We’d like quilts from every guild. Entries may be individually, group, or guild made. The goal is participation from all guilds.
Click here to view the Call for Entries. Please post to your members and in your newsletter. December 26, 2025 is the deadline for online entries with photos. (Photo of quilt top - before it is quilted - is acceptable as long as quilt is completed and arrives on time.)
Additionally, all guilds have been asked to contribute to our SCCQG banner by donating a quilt block of your guild’s logo. To date, over 55 guilds have done so! If your logo is MIA, we’d very much like to get it in time for this exhibit. (Details below.)
Questions? Email SCCQGRD2CA@gmail.com

Eaton, and Palisades Fire Survivors
Do you know someone affected by the fires?
The SoCal quilt shops were very helpful to us in collecting quilts during the early months and we appreciate their participation. At this time, however, they are no longer accepting donations.
The sccqgfire@sccqg.org email is still active. Please let us know if you learn of a need for quilts or pillowcases and we'll spread the word.
As you know, we collected nearly $5,000 at Road to California. To date we have gifted over $4,000 to fire survivors who sew. The gift certificates have enabled them to begin to replace sewing tools and notions.
Your donations have brightened the lives of many of the fire survivors. Your efforts are much appreciated.
