Many of the members have made quilts for rest homes, preschools, and also adult and children’s quilts for organizations like the Hospice Home Support Group.Members were happy to take part in the recent Heritage Day celebration, showing new and old quilts in both Santa Paula and Fillmore. They have had many entries in the Ventura County Fair, and a four-month showing at the California Oil Museum in Santa Paula.
Guest speakers are regularly brought in to give members new ideas on making different types of quilts, and how to judge the age of old family quilts.Anyone interested is welcome to visit or join the Santa Clara Valley Quilt Guild on the first Wednesday of each month at Fabric Depot, 866 E. Main St. in Santa Paula.
