QUAIL COUNTRY QUILTERS is a non-profit organization 501 (c) (3) that uses the admission monies for educational programs for our members as well as for fabrics for quilts, which are donated to the community.  They donate to DPS, VFW, Women’s Shelter, Babies at Risk, House of Ruth,, and The Old Town Mission.  Large quilts are made and donated to charitable organizations to auction or raffle to raise funds for themselves.  One of our favorites is the Meals on Wheels.  Each year they work with 4^th and 5^th grades at Tavasci School teaching them to quilt.

Quail Country Quilters have been working for two years on their upcoming Quilt Show "A Covey of Quilts II".

The show features the best efforts of the more than 100 member Guild. Quilt lovers will be able to view approximately 250 quilts ranging in size from wall quilts, to bed quilts and including art quilts and wearable quilted clothing. The quilts on display will encompass traditional designs, hand quilting, hand piecing, machine quilting, and applique' and more non-traditional art quilts.

This year there will be quilting demonstrations, door prizes and Vendors who specialize in those items that quilt lovers -love.

In conjunction with the Quilt Show there will be a Boutique loaded with a variety of handcrafted items made by Guild members. This show and Boutique only occur every other year so that the quilters involved have time to make it a very special event. One special feature that has been in process for quite a while is our gorgeous raffle quilt, "Sunset Silhouettes". This quilt measures 94" X 106" and has been appraised at $1500.00. The raffle will occur at the close of Saturday's show and the winner need not be present to win.

Quail Country Quilters is comprised of quilters from every community in the Verde Valley. They meet the second and fourth Thursday of each month at the VFW Hall on Aspen Street in Cottonwood. Quilters and ''wanna be" quilters of all skill levels are invited to attend.
