Community Quilts:

Community Quilts is an ongoing outreach project of Amador Valley Quilters.    Our largest undertaking is to create quilts to be given to various individuals in local charitable organizations.  The effort started in 1986, when 16 quilts were given to the Tri-Valley Haven for battered women.  Today the project has expanded to 750 quilts given to 13 agencies who serve all ages, from premature babies to  our seniors in wheelchairs.

Consult the Quilt Size Guide for appropriate donation guidance.

In December, we celebrate with the recipient organizations at a brunch we host during our general meeting. We meet the agencies’ representatives and have a parade of quilts.

Alameda County Fair:

AVQ provides its members the opportunity to volunteer in the Fiber Arts Building where the quilting exhibit is in place.  Here we are available to answer questions of the fair attendees and generally have ongoing piecing or quilting at a table in the Fiber Arts Building.
