Holiday Party - Join the Fun!

December means holiday parties, cookies, gifts, Champagne toasts, and general frivolity.  December 8th at PVQA will be no exception – well, maybe not the Champagne.  Whether you celebrate Kwanza, Chanukah, or Christmas, this is the “must-go” party of the season for quilters.

New games (No! Not trivia), and new prizes.  And, an opportunity to clear out your stash!

Bring about $10 to $20 dollars worth of treasures from your stash of fabric, books and supplies for the gift exchange.  These treasures may be newish or lightly used— Please!  No new purchases just for this event.  Place your selection in a basket, bag, or wrap in fabric, or paper.

Let’s send 2008 out in style.  Aren’t we all ready to move on to 2009?  See you there!

The PVQA meetings are held on the second Monday of every month at:

Beth-El Jewish Community Center
3055 Porter Gulch Rd at Soquel Dr
Aptos, California

Social time begins at 6:30 PM and the meeting starts promptly at 7:00 PM.

Parking is limited, but there is additional parking on the street or at Cabrillo College. Click here for directions.
