OUR CURRENT FOCUS

We are honoring the work of the past and the projects that were so successful, such as the quilt documentation, oral histories and the children's teaching program.  As we grow and expand our focus we are expanding our outreach efforts. 

Look for us in the locations listed in the " Come See Us"  section of the website.

We have joined the Quilt Index in order to introduce the world to amazing quilts made in or brought to California.   The Quilt Index, an open access, digital repository shares images, stories and information about quilts and their makers.  This research and educational project, "Matrix: The Center for Digital Humanities and Social Services" is housed at Michigan State University.    www.quiltindex.org

The California Heritage Quilt Project, has started to document California’s quilts of any age and style.

We encourage you all to document your family and personal quilts to record your legacy.

You can self-submit your quilts directly on the Quilt Index, choosing CHQP as a project to fall under or you can email us for technical assistance at caheritagequiltproject@gmail.com 

CHQP is offering presentations to guilds and other interested groups. We cover the history of our Project, and what we are doing now to document California quilts using the Quilt Index. 

Please contact us through this website or at caheritagequiltproject@gmail.com to find our availability and pricing.

Workshops of 3 to 4 hours are also being offered to train members of your group to use the Quilt Index to document your quilts and share your quilter's stories.

Please contact us through this website or at caheritagequiltproject@gmail.com to find our availability and pricing.
