Thirty Guild Members signed up at the April 2017 meeting and took home the assorted Mary Englebright fabrics to use in a 43 inch by 55 inch quilt. The top three finished quilts were decided by the Guild Members in the April 2018 meeting. The winners will be announced at the June Quilt Show with all the Challenge quilts in a special display entitled “Mary, Mary Quite Contrary.” All the quilts will be donated to local charities as part of our Community Quilts projects.

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.
