Did you know\nthere is a state-wide organization in California that offers support for quilt\nguilds?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Southern California Council of Quilt Guilds<\/a> was formed to provide information and resources to give support for quilt guilds in the areas of legal, philanthropic, and financial concerns. The Council also provides affordable insurance to quilt guilds for their events and organizes statewide charitable quilt activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently\nthere are 95 member guilds, from Morro Bay to San Diego. They attend SCCQG\nmeetings designed to give support for quilt guilds four times a year. The first\nmeeting of each year is a \u201cMeet the Teacher\u201d event where guilds can meet and pick\nfrom over 50 teachers to come and present at their guild meetings. The Council\u2019s\nJuly meeting topic was on guild finances and in October, they will be hosting\nRoad to California\u2019s Social Media Consultant, Caryn Payzant, who will speak on\nthe value of social media for quilt guilds. Their final meeting for 2019 giving\nsupport for quilt guilds will be on the \u201cnuts and bolts\u201d of quilt guild meetings.\n  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sonia Das has been President of SCCQG for the past 3 years. She is a member of the Antelope Quilters Guild<\/a> located in Citrus Heights which is just north of Sacramento. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Antelope Quilters Guild was founded 24 years ago and currently has 60 members. Providing quilts for various charities is one of the guild\u2019s goals. In 2018, they gave away 223 quilts with 60 of those quilts going to survivors of last year\u2019s Camp Fire<\/a> in Paradise, California. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA Quilted\nYear of Cheer,\u201d was the guild\u2019s opportunity quilt on display at Road to\nCalifornia 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was made up of 12 mini quilts designed by Nancy Halversen<\/a> plus one original design. Four guild members put the quilt together. What makes this quilt unique is that the mini-quilt panels are snapped on to the backing and can be moved around on the quilt or can even be hung separately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The quilt\nwon 2nd<\/sup> Place in the 2018 California State Fair. The guild has been\nselling raffle tickets for the past two years and plans on holding the drawing\nfor one lucky winner at their meeting held in August 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participating\nin a quilt guild is a great way to share your passion for quilting and giving\nback o the community. To make sure quilt guilds follow California state\nguidelines for non-profit organizations, it\u2019s reassuring to know that the Southern\nCalifornia Council of Quilt Guilds is there to offer support for quilt guilds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
