Occasionally, special quilt requests are made to Community Quilts by our non-profit partners. The following are quilts donated in July 2014:
Dog quilt for a raffle fundraiser at United Animal Friends—this quilt was made by Bettie Setz.
Horse quilt for a raffle fundraiser at Horses with Heart—this quilt was part of the latest Community Quilts challenge.
Two patriotic quilts as wall-hangings for the new office of Northern Arizona Veterans Resource Center—the eagle quilt was made by Marcia McMullen and the red, white, and blue one was made by Bettie Setz.
The graphic line/block quilt was given to Coalition for Compassion and Justice for raffle.
Our community service
Community Quilts is a service project of Mountain Top Quilters. We meet monthly at Las Fuentes Retirement Center for a workday on the 4th Monday of every month except December.
We create quilt tops, kits and “sandwich” quilts for machine or hand quilting orsew machine tying at these sewing sessions.
Kits for piecing, quilts for quilting or tying and/or binding are distributed at our monthly guild meeting.
These quilts are donated throughout Yavapai County to non-profit hospices, children’s adoptive services and women’s shelters.
If you have questions or wish to participate, please stop by our table at the next guild thread meeting to learn how you can help with this wonderful community service project.
