What's New?

The Desert Guilds Quilt Show 2026 has been cancelled and rescheduled for March 5 and 6, 2027.

Our traditional venue (Palm Springs Pavilion) is undergoing renovations, and the Quilt Show Board was unable to secure a different location at this late date.

If you have flyers or postcards for the 2026 show, please toss them out as the information is no longer accurate. New materials will be designed and available next year. Details for the rescheduled show will also be available at our website: www.desertguildsquiltshow.com

Do you know someone affected by the fires?

to provide any information you have so that we can reach out to them. Be a part of our "Someone Who Knows Someone Network."

At this time, distribution opportunities have slowed down and we are not currently accepting quilts or pillowcases. That said, if we learn of an event or opportunity, we'll get the word out to you.
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.

Check out the Calendar at the bottom of the Home Page!

Lots of new events posted on the calendar recently.
To add an event your guild is hosting, send your event information to info@sccqg.org for Sandy, our webmaster, so that she can post your information on the Calendar.

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) (3) 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.
