Valley Quilt Guild

We are the Yuba-Sutter Valley Quilt Guild, located about 50 miles north of Sacramento, CA. We started the guild in 1981 and have grown to have between 175-200 members! Through educational meetings and fellowship, we strive to contribute to the knowledge of quilting, quilt techniques, textiles, patterns, history and quilt-makers. We promote the appreciation of fine quilts and encourage growth of knowledge with different techniques through our guest speakers and teachers.

There will be no general meeting for the month of November. The annual Members Only Christmas dinner will be on December 5, 2024 at 6:00 pm at The Moose Lodge (205 S Walton Ave., Yuba City 95993.) The next general meeting at the Cal Trans Bldg will be on Wednesday, January 29, 2025.

1 At the Christmas party there will be a Show and Tell (brings something to share!)
2 There will be signups for January’s class, Tips and Tricks with Eileen and Colleen.
3 Please bring something to donate for those in need. Ideas include: toiletries for men and women, Calendars, Christmas Cars and $15 gift certificates for our veterans. Socks for those in need and unwrapped toys for the Beale AFB children’s party. There will also be Christmas Cards to sign at the entry table. Lets make the season Merry and Bright for everyone!

There will be a Fat Chance (Fat Quarter) drawing at this dinner/meeting. December Fat Chance theme is Here Come the Holidays! Search your stash for bright lights, bells, stockings, Christmas, golds, silver green or anything in between!
