Philanthropic Activities
Scholarships: SVQA awards yearly
Fiber Arts Scholarships to
students.
Fiber Arts Scholarship to a local student, high school or college, who
is enrolled in an textile arts educational program. The objective is it to encourage
the pursuit of education in the areas of textiles and sewing – art as it relates
to textile and garment design and construction – whether it leads to quilting or
not. Sewing is a skill that offers a lifetime of rewards and endless
possibilities. One of our members offered this: “I am so pleased that we put our
money to such good use. Of the two things I learned in junior high, typing and sewing
have proved most beneficial. Typing for my career in computers and sewing for my
enjoyment and sanity. Even if a student does not continue on in textile studies, but
continues to sew and enjoy, we have accomplished our goal. Sewing is a life-long skill.
I am proud to be part our group.”

Classroom Grants: SVQA encourages classroom quilting activities as
a means to teach history; skills in math; color, design, art appreciation; and
textile/sewing skills. The Harvest Quilt & Fiber Arts Show provides an excellent
venue to exhibit class and student projects for community viewing. Teachers
seeking assistance with classroom quilting activities or quilting materials and
supplies should download the Classroom Assistance Request Form and submit it for
consideration. SVQA will review the request and determine what resources they can
provide. As profits allow, we will donate quilting books to schools for teacher and
student reference.
