A little about the guild’s journey: In 2010, they proudly achieved 501(c)3 status, further cementing their commitment to the community. By 2018, they joined the National Quilts of Valor Foundation, dedicating themselves to creating and donating hundreds of quilts to honor our veterans who have bravely served our country.

But that’s not all! The Bella Vista Calico Cut-Ups also launched a free Kids Quilt Camp in 2018 and added a Beginning Adult Quilt Class in 2019, all in pursuit of their mission to spark an interest in quilting and promote community giving—all while having a blast with their quilt friends!

Their dedication doesn’t stop there. This guild knows how to keep things fun and fresh with its annual Stash for Cash event each January, where members sell their extra sewing supplies to fellow guildmates.

They also host two lively socials every year—one in May with a unique theme and another in December to celebrate the holidays. With a lineup of inspiring outside speakers and engaging in-house workshops, the Bella Vista Calico Cut-Ups are always finding new ways to inspire their members.

With a highly engaged membership of 150 quilters, the guild sees over 80 members at each monthly meeting.
