Meetings

We meet every second Sunday at the Redwood Coast Senior Center, 490 North Harold Street, Fort Bragg, CA. 

GENERAL MEETINGS:  The second Sunday of the month at 1:30 pm. Arrive early to sign in and share snacks.

During some months, some members come earlier to participate in other club activities, such as:

  • From approx 11 am to 12:30 pm, we have free sewing, which means you can do your own sewing projects or participate in one of our group projects.
  • From 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm we begin to set up our snack table and free sewing items table and socialize.
  • From 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm we discuss business, projects, and activities, and, at the end of the meeting, we have a “show and tell” where we display and talk about what we have made.

BOARD MEETINGS:  Are at 10:30 am on the third  Wednesday of the month. 

The Board consists of our Officers – President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary, as well as the Chairs of each of our Committees.  All members are invited to attend the Board Meetings.

HAND QUILTING AND SEWING: Is from 1 pm – 3 pm every Tuesday at the Redwood Coast Senior Center – We have resumed this! Come join us!!

Our hand quilters welcome anyone interested in hand quilting – whether you know how to or not – to join us on Tuesdays. We have a large frame that comes down from the ceiling, and we sit around and quilt and chat. If you have a quilt that you would like to have hand quilted, stop by on a Tuesday to let us know and get your name in the queue. We do the quilts in the order we receive them. We do not charge a fee, but we do ask that you make a donation to the Ocean Wave Quilters, which is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization.

But Tuesdays are not just for hand quilting! Members are encouraged to bring whatever sewing project they are working on – hand sewing, cutting out blocks, assembling the quilt sandwich, or bring your machine to stitch your project! You have access to large tables, cutting mats, rulers, irons/ironing boards….whatever you need for your project. Lots of opportunity to socialize and confer with others on your quilting questions!

HAND SEWING via ZOM: Is from 1 pm – 4 pm every Wednesday.
