GQCCC offers several opportunities for members to gather in small groups to sew, quilt, and build friendships.
"Small Groups" meet at our rented space, know as The Farmhouse", in person, “virtually” over Zoom, or a hybrid of the two.

The Farmhouse is a “members only” classroom, part of a larger facility operated by the Contra Costa Farm Bureau. The guild library is housed here, containing over 200 books for members to check out.

The Farmhouse comfortably accommodates up to 11 members with sewing machines at a time, and maybe a few more if there are members who do hand sewing. The space has plenty of natural light and a large design wall.   It is equipped with large tables, irons, ironing boards, and a cutting table with rulers and mats.  A water dispenser is available in the room for hot and cold water. 

While we do not place limits on the number of members in a Small Group, there are size constraints to be considered.  If you are not a regular member of a Small Group, or if you wish to secure some space to baste a large quilt, contact the small group leader in advance to find out if there is room during their session. 

Please review The Farmhouse rules listed in the Member Guide prior to going to the Farmhouse, and be aware that social distancing protocols may be in effect or recommended from time to time, depending on County regulations.
