Other Events SCVQA offers a variety of smaller sewing events through the month. From getting a project done, learning something new, completing works for charity, or just sewing along with friends, check to see if there is an event right for you. |
Quilting 101
Quilting 101 is on hiatus due to the COVID-19 virus.
Quilting 101 is a tutorial offered by members of SCVQA to help members become more familiar with a variety of quilting techniques. It is not associated with regular workshops or visiting teachers. Q101 is not a small quilting group and members are expected to work on the project scheduled for a particular session.
Cost: The cost is $12.00 per session.
Note that Quilting 101 now has the same refund policies that govern SCVQA's monthly workshops. There are no refunds unless someone replaces you from the waiting list. And there is no fee forwarding from month to month.
When: TBD
Participants: All SCVQA members in good standing are welcome to sign up. We have openings for 30 members in every session.
Sign ups:
- Sign ups for any Q101 session must be in person.
- Signups for the wait list may be by telephone or email. Those placed on the wait list will be notified when a spot becomes available.
- Sign ups for the following month's session start the day of the Q101 session at 1:30 pm after a brief demonstration by the teacher of the next Q101 session. Next opportunity to sign up will be at the SCVQA general meeting.
SCVQA Community Quilts
SCVQA members enjoy giving back to the community. We make quilts, which we collect and donate to many charitable organizations. For those wanting to donate quilts, the Community Quilts team recommends the following approximate sizes, with width listed first:
- Veteran: 60" x 72" or 60" x 84"
- Child or Teen: 40" x 60"
- Wheelchair or Child: 36" x 45"
- Baby: 36" x 40" (more or less for each measurement)
