The Capital Cutups was established in 1999 when several co-workers at the Arizona House of Representatives expressed an interest in quilt making.  Our projects have included a mystery table runner using fall or Christmas fabrics, participation in the Quilted Apple's "$5 Quilt" block-of-the-month project, and the "Thimbleberries Village" block of the month.  In March of 2002 the focus of our group took off in a new direction.  One of our co-workers was involved in a serious automobile accident on her way home from work and we decided to make a quilt for her.  The idea caught on, and in 4 months time we completed 4 friendship quilts and 2 baby quilts for various co-workers.  Our biggest accomplishment was overcoming the primary obstacle in constructing group quilts―learning to stitch an exact 1/4" seam!  We enjoy a strong thread of friendship with each other as well as the pleasure of extending friendship and cheer to others.  We hope you enjoy viewing our current projects.
