Genesee
Valley
Quilt
Club
(GVQC)
offers
quilters
a
place
to
learn,
grow, and serve through their love of quilting.
Due
to
COVID-19
restrictions,
the
club
is
meeting
virtually
via
Zoom.
See monthly meeting info in the box above.
Prior to COVID, our monthly meetings offered:
•
Activities:
block
of
the
month,
fat
quarter
drawing,
Comfort
Quilt, opportunity to sign up for workshops.
•
A large lending library.
•
Show and Tell
•
Program,
usually
with
a
special
speaker
to
share
quilting
wisdom, tips, a trunk show, and/or quilting inspiration.
•
Sometimes after meeting mini-workshops.
The
club,
located
in
Rochester,
NY,
meets
monthly
September
through
June
and
draws
members
from
the
Finger
Lakes
region
and
even
as
far
away
as
Buffalo,
NY.
The
membership
represents
a
wide
variety
of
quilting
skills
from
beginner
to
advanced,
all
types
of
quilting
and
interests,
including
traditional,
contemporary,
modern
and
art,
both
hand
and
machine
quilted.
Because
of
the
diversity
of
quilting
interests,
Show
and
Tell
and
the
parade
of
Comfort
Quilts
(turned
in
for
donation)
are
always
a
delight
and
an
inspiration.
Although
a
few
of
the
members
have
been
recognized
in
prestigious
juried
national
quilt
shows,
members
enjoy
learning
and sharing their love of quilting together.
GVQC
offers
an
opportunity
to
connect
with
member
quilters
through
an
active
(member
only)
Yahoo
Group
and
to
keep
up
with
club
news
through
the
monthly
publication,
Patchword.
GVQC
has
a
long
tradition
of
serving
the
community,
including
making
and
donating
about
350
quilts
a
year
through
Love
and
Comfort
Quilts
to area organizations to give to individuals and families in need.
New
members
are
always
