\t\t\t\tThe South Bay Quilters Guild<\/a> is very active in the Southern California area. Founded in 1979, their goal is to \u201cfurther quilting excellence in the South Santa Monica Bay area of Southern California through educational meetings, travel, and friendship, and, at least once each year, to promote quilting in a philanthropic endeavor.\u201d Based out of Torrance, California, with over 125 members, they meet the third Tuesday of the month. \u00a0\"\"<\/a>\nAt Road to California 2017, the guild had on display their opportunity quilt that they gave away at their 2017 Quilt Show, “World of Color.”\n[caption id=\"attachment_5108\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"625\"]\"\"<\/a> Photo by Brian Roberts Photography[\/caption]\nIn 2013, the South Bay Quilters provided the quilts for the atrium of the Ontario Convention Center during Road to California.\"\"<\/a>\nActive in the community, the South Bay Quilters Association participates with many philanthropy projects. They have donated over 1,000 lap quilts to local nursing homes and hospitals. The guild began a \u201cRead Me A Quilt\u201d program with CASA- Court Appointed Special Advocates. This group provides volunteers who advocate for children in foster care. The guild became aware of CASA from one of its members. For over 10 years, the guild has been providing quilts and books to toddlers through teenagers in the foster care system.\nThe South Bay Quilters Association is also active in the Wounded Warrior Project. One of their members had connections with field hospitals in Afghanistan which led to the guild\u2019s participation. Their donated quilts are made to fit the size of a gurney and are mailed directly to the field hospitals. The quilts are given to soldiers and remain with the recipients throughout their hospital stay and their journeys home. The guild has been involved with this worthwhile endeavor for 10 years.\"\"<\/a>\nPast Presidents of the guild include Pam Overton and Lynn Crawford, founders of The Traveling Quilters<\/a>. Lynn and Pam lead the bus trips that are offered during Road to California<\/a>. At Road 2018, their trips will be going to \u201cRobert Kaufman, the Farmer’s Market and then some!\u201d on Wednesday, January 17th<\/sup>, and on Monday, January 22nd, they will take guests to Hoffman International and more in Orange County, California.\nThe guild is already preparing for its next quilt show to be held February 17-18, 2018 at the Torrance Cultural Arts Center where they will have over 150 quilts on display and featured quilter, Sue Glass, an extraordinary applique quilt artist.\n ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
