I would like be a leader for making donations to this organization: *

Community Service is an important activity in Calico Cut-Ups (CCU). In addition to the generosity of CCU members, CCU receives an annual grant from the Arizona Quilters Guild (AQG) for service projects.

Calico Cut-Ups

Kits of 6" cut squares for charity quilt tops are available at each meeting. Members may take home kits or work on them during Open Sew. Members may also drop off their completed projects on this table.

2018 Service Activity Commitments and Results

Kaye Woods 6 Hour Quilts

Project Leader: Donna G.

In support of Calico's Service efforts, Kaye Woods donated patterns for her 6 Hour Quilts. These patterns are the property of Calico and may be checked out if you would like to make one of these quilts.

Project: Honor House

Project Leader: To be decided

Honor House donations will include lap quilts, stockings, Diddy bags, and top bags. To learn more about this veteran's assistance organization, click HERE.

Honor House was founded by Brian Mancini who served two tours in Iraq as a Combat Medic. He was seriously wounded in 2007. He recognized that Veterans dealing with PTS/TBI and other injuries needed more than just traditional medicine. He founded the Honor House, which received its 501C3 in 2012. Brian passed away in 2017 but his legacy lives on providing the help and healing our Veterans need.
