Dataw Island Quilters

Mission

The Dataw Island Quilters (DIQ) are a group of quilters with a wide range of experience who gather to share ideas, learn new techniques, contribute to our community outreach project, and share friendship. Our general meeting is the 2nd Wednesday of each month, 10:00 AM at the Community Center. Generally, we hold a business meeting followed by a program and then lunch at the DIC. On each 4th Wednesday, we meet at the Community Center for informal quilting time and sharing of quilting techniques, and workshops for DIQ group projects (10:00 AM to 4:00 PM). We do not meet in July and August. While we don’t meet formally in these two months, some of us will get together to work on our projects or take a trip to a quilt shop.

Membership

Membership is open to all members of the DIC. Guests are welcome to visit. Membership is currently (Sept. 2020) 28 members. The annual cost of membership is $20.

Special Events

DI Quilters make a Quilt of Valor for a wounded warrior each year. The quilt is presented at the veteran's golf tournament held on Dataw Island each November.  We also hold a Christmas Quilt Show at the Community Center and have had outdoor Quilt Shows on Dataw Island.

Cozy Quilts for Children

Our current community project is making nap quilts for the children at St. Helena Early Learning Center. Each child has their own quilt for nap time. When a child leaves the program, he/she takes their quilt with them.

Dataw 25th Anniversary Quilt

DIQ members designed, made, and donated the Dataw Island 25th anniversary quilt. This quilt was raffled off with the proceeds going to the DIC to help defray the cost of the 25th Dataw anniversary celebration. The winner of this quilt donated it to the DIC and it now hangs in the Dataw Island History and Learning Center.
