We are a PVQA outreach group dedicated to the support of Hospice of Santa Cruz County, a non-profit agency providing compassionate end-of-life care and grief support services in our community.

Mission

The purpose and annual goal of our group is to provide:

• Quilts for Camp Erin, a grief support camp for children and teens age 6-17

• Lap quilts for end-of-life patients

• A fundraising quilt (raffle or auction) to support HSCC’s community programs

​​

Quilts

Camp Erin is held each year in early June.  Since the demographics are not known until shortly before the camp, cheerful, multi-colored quilts that are of simple design and no particular theme are easiest to distribute.  Preferred size is approximately 50”-55” wide x 65”-70” long.

Lap quilts for adult Hospice patients may be any design and color, approximately 40” x 50”.

We have fabric and kits available, and can provide batting, backing and long-arm quilting.

​

Meetings:

Our group meets the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month, from 10:00 until 3:00.

Meeting dates and locations are subject to change.  Please join our email list to be informed of our activities and RSVP if you plan to attend.

• Meetings on the 2nd Thursday are held at Aptos Knoll Mobilehome Park

• Meetings on the 4th Thursday are held at the Congregational Church of Soquel.

Needs:

We welcome contributions of completed quilts, fabric and supplies, especially fabric for backing.  Backing requirements are 3 ½ yards for Camp Erin quilts and 2 ½ yards for lap quilts.  Flannel or cotton preferred.
