HISTORY

Coastal Carolina Quilters (CCQ) was established in November 1988.  Originally, the group had a day bee and a night bee.  By 1996, the night bee was inactive.  Our organizational goals are education for the quilters and charity work for the community.

Our meeting sites have moved several times.  We began meeting in rooms at different housing developments, then moved to the Surfside Library.  Our present meeting site is at Oceanside Village.  The meetings evolved from social gatherings, to business meetings, to making small projects, to round table demonstrations and outside speakers.

Today, the organization meets in Oceanside Village Community Building.  The membership is limited at 300 members or room capacity.  Meetings vary with charity quilt workshop, round table demonstrations, lottery blocks, outside speakers, and one or two business meetings a year.  Dessert is always served.  We have several pot luck brunches or lunches a year in addition to the meeting.
