PLEASE NOTE DAY, TIME and LOCATION of our meetings
CVQ is a "hybrid" guild, which means that some meetings are held in person and via Zoom, while others are only held via Zoom.
Most in-person meetings are held at the Thousand Oaks Library and are also available via Zoom. Members can find the Zoom link on the MEMBERS ONLY page of the website. The day and time of in-person meetings can fluctuate depending on room availability, so please check the CALENDAR page for any changes.
Our virtual general meetings are held on the third Monday of the month via Zoom. Social time starts at 5:30 pm, and the meeting starts at 6:00 pm. We normally do not hold a general meeting in August.
Guests always welcome: $5 fee.
NOTE TO OUR GUESTS: Please allow ample time for us to get you a link. Links are not sent automatically upon credit card payment.

Teresa Duryea Wong
"Japan 2.0: The Next Generation Quilters"
Meet the Next Gen of Japanese quilt artists. Japan's history and cultural norms set very clear rules for who is and who is not considered a Master and this lecture will explain why, and how, that happens. But in the Japan 2.0 universe, there is a community of quilters for the 21st century who are operating outside the rigid cultural lines of the traditional Master/Student relationship. They are creating original, modern quilts with a global eye while still managing to reference the Japanese aesthetic.
BIO:
Teresa Duryea Wong is an author, lecturer, and quilt historian. She has written five books and co-authored two books. Teresa's books, as well as her research and lectures, focus on Japanese quilts and textiles, Native American quilt history, American quilt collectors, modern quilts, and American and Japanese cotton. Teresa is an advisory board member of the International Quilt Museum at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She has appeared on numerous quilting programs and podcasts and presented hundreds of lectures to quilt guilds and festivals throughout the US, and even a few in Canada, the UK, and South Korea. She is a contributing writer for Quiltfolk and other quilt and fiber are magazines.
