SVQG HistorySVQG began over 40 years ago. Originally, in 1980, we started with 20 members and met at various places; homes, the old All Saints Episcopal Church, and the Library.
Back then, quilting was undergoing a revival and people just wanted to learn. We worked on our own and community projects. Since then, we've grown to 100 members and meet at the Valley Assembly of God, located at 15618 E. Broadway Ave, Spokane Valley, WA. (Corner of Sullivan and Broadway Ave, across from Michael's) General Membership Meetings are held on the first Tuesday of February, April, June, August, October, and December at 6:30 p.m. (NOTICE NEW TIME) Everyone is Welcome. Board Meetings are held on alternate months on the first Tuesday, 6:30 p.m., on Zoom. At this time we are holding meetings via Zoom. Spokane Valley Quilters Guild takes pride in being an influential non-profit organization in the greater Spokane area. SVQG members take part in an annual raffle quilt that is assembled by its members who then vend raffle tickets throughout the year so that a lucky individual may win the quilt at the October Membership meeting. This allows SVQG to support the community through charity quilts by donating to organizations in Spokane, such as Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery, Spokane Valley Partners, Crosswalk, Camp Goodtimes, Operation Smile, Mission Community Outreach, Cancer Care Northwest, and Quilts of Valor (click on link for requirements).
