Daisy Mountain Quilters was first organized around 2000. In April 2005, we became part of the Arizona Quilters Guild.  Originally started as a common-interest group among women who like to make quilts, the members still inspire, encourage, and share the love of quilting with anyone in our community who would like to learn more about our art.

We currently have more than 50 members and are happy to have guests join us for our general meetings. Our general meeting is held on the first Friday of the month from 1 pm to 4 pm at First Light Fellowship Church in the West side of Anthem (Phoenix).

Our typical meeting has a sewing-related presentation, sometimes a guest speaker from outside the group, Show and Tell, and fun and games. We also have a Charity Sew Day on the fourth Thursday of the month, which is held at Daisy Mountain Fire Station #145, at 1120 W. Desert Hills Road, Phoenix, 9 am to 3 pm. This is an opportunity to work on charity items, quilt together, enhance our skills, and learn new techniques.

We do not have a general meeting in July or August, however we do get together in August for lunch at a restaurant for fellowship and to gear up for our next season. We also have a Christmas luncheon at our general meeting in December.

Among the charitable organizations who receive our handmade items are Veterans First, Ryan’s Cases for Smiles, Tiny Humans premie items, Project Linus, and many others. We deliver comfort quilts, baby bibs, burp cloths, and other items on a regular basis. The Phoenix Humane Society is also a recipient of our dog beds made from fabric scraps. At every meeting, we collect numerous charity quilts for distribution.

Our Chapter is led by a team consisting of a Chair, Chair-Elect, Secretary, and Treasurer, with committee chairs for Programs, Charity, and Hospitality. Our dues are $25 per year.
