Want to Sew Together in Person!?   In Person Quilting Venue Team

We are able to set up monthly quilting in person at Christ the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, San Jose if we can confirm we have volunteers to help first. This would be a weekday during the day. We need at least four volunteers to set up folding tables, chairs, ironing stations, etc. As well as four volunteers to tear down, put away and make sure the space is clean.

Contact Callista, president@scvqa.org.


Webmaster/Tech Assistance

Regularly create and post content and answer questions via Facebook and Instagram. Coordinate with Webmaster to focus on priority news. Such as: upcoming meetings, workshops, events, sales, quilt photos, volunteer recruitment and acknowledgement, quilt award acknowledgement, etc. 

Attend board meetings if possible. 

Contact Callista, president@scvqa.org.


Opportunity Quilt Organizer

We have gotten off schedule in the last few years and want to make sure we back on track to make appealing and high quality opportunity quilts. We have one group working on one now. But we need another, so that we can make sure we have them when they are needed, and the groups can alternate with each other on completion dates. This would mean getting a committee together, designing and making a quilt. Staying in touch with the Board and Ways and Means Committee. 

Contact Callista, president@scvqa.org.
