| Ocean Waves Chapter, #296, was founded in January 1985, and chartered by the National Quilting Association on May 1, 1985. Our Chapter goals are to promote interest in all aspects of quilt making, to allow members to develop skills, and to display their creations. We hold monthly meetings, publish a newsletter and website, sponsor a bi-annual quilt show, and organize quilt trips and workshops. At our monthly meetings current information about the activities of other national, state, and local quilters and quilt groups is discussed and displayed. Ocean Waves has over 150 members with a monthly attendance around 70 members. Anyone interested in quilts or quilt making is invited to become a member, regardless of skill level or area of interest. Classes and workshops cover a wide range of quilting fiber art; for those that want more information on a subject, our library of about 1100 books may help. Each year Ocean Waves members gather together for camaraderie and community service, sharing their talents and each others company in making quilts for school children, community homes and for families, as well as individuals, in crisis. Guild members provide quilts to the Home of the Brave Project, the Battered Women's Shelter, and last year to victims of Hurricane Katrina. Additionally, guild members designed and completed quilts for our yearly chapter opportunity quilt, and have produced reproduction quilts for historical projects.
