CVQA Committees
CVQA committees rely on guild members' involvement to fulfill its purpose. We encourage guild members to participate in at least one committee.
Community Care Committee
The Community Care Committee provides quilts, pillowcases, and other sewn items to various community organizations. The group meets twice a month to sew quilt tops, assemble quilt tops to be quilted, and make kits for the guild members to sew.
CVQA Library Committee
CVQA has a vast resource of sewing-related books for use by members. Books are checked out and returned at guild meetings. Members are needed to set up the library table at each meeting, return the books to the book carts after each meeting, and store the book carts between meetings.
Friendship Quilts Committee
The Friendship Quilt Committee makes quilts for members with life-threatening illnesses.
Holiday Party Committee
The Holiday Party Committee is responsible for planning the holiday party, decorating tables and room, taking sign-ups for food, organizing games and sing-a-longs, and clean up following the party.
Legacy Committee
The Legacy Committee members maintain contact and help family members of deceased or incapacitated guild members who contact the guild, and act as advisors for the dispersion of quilting fabric, supplies, and equipment of family members.
Membership Committee
Membership Committee volunteers to serve as greeters or membership check-in hostesses at guild meetings. They help plan and attend the New Members Teas twice a year. They also assist with annual membership renewals and collection of dues.
Program Committee
The Program Committee selects and contracts with speakers and workshop leaders for the next calendar year. The committee reserves hotel and teaching venues, provides hospitality for visiting instructors, picking up and returning equipment stored in the guild's storage unit, and setting up and taking down the classroom. At monthly guild meetings, members register and collect class fees.
Quilt Show Committee
The Quilt Show Committee is responsible for the production of a revenue-generating quilt show scheduled every other year. The committee is a collaboration of small groups, each focusing on the tasks to host the show such as, securing a quilt show location, developing the venue layout, quilt collection and display, vendor recruitment, raffle quilt, silent auction, and a boutique selling products made by guild members.
Quilts of Valor
The Quilts of Valor (QOV) committee is sponsored by The Quilting Squares of Franklin. Members work on the facet of quilting that they enjoy, such as piecing, quilting, or binding to produce soldier quilts. The QOV committee is connected to numerous military organizations for presentations and work with individuals to honor our veterans.
Retreat Committee
CVQA members can participate in guild-sponsored spring and fall retreats. Committee members are assigned to bring supplies, compile registrations, collect fees, assign roommates, set up the sewing room, and communicate with attendees.
Ronald McDonald Quilt Committee
The Ronald McDonald Quilt Committee completes and donates a quilt each year to the Nashville Ronald McDonald House for its annual fundraising efforts. The committee provides input to the chairperson as to a pattern and fabric selection. The committee participates to prepare the fabric and pattern into kits for distribution to guild volunteers. Committee members may also participate in construction of the quilt top, quilting, and binding.
Thistle Farms Committee
The Thistle Farms Committee makes lap quilts for the graduates of this two-year live-in program for women. Thistle Farms is a non-profit organization with over 20-years of success assisting women with safe place to live, counseling and job training to get their lives back on track following incarceration. The committee does not hold meetings. Each volunteer makes a quilt completely of their own choosing to donate for the graduation ceremony.
Ways and Means Committee
The Ways and Means Committee plans and implements fundraising events to supplement the operating expenses of the guild in alternate years between quilt shows.
Williamson County Fair Committee
The Williamson County Fair Committee coordinates CVQA's participation at the Williamson County Fair's Quilt Show. Members collect entries, assist judges, hang the quilts, and assist in quilt pick-up. CVQA also participates in a quilt raffle. Members design their own block on pre-selected fabric and the public votes on their top three favorite blocks. The blocks are then put together in a quilt and raffled off the following year.
