The Auction
is Coming ! The auction is one of the guild's major fundraisers during the year. The items that are sold are donated by the members, and are grouped into the live auction, silent auction, or Chinese auction; the boutique; or they are placed on the book and pattern tables. We will be collecting donations at the June and July guild meeting. The Point of Contact is 4th VP, Nancy P. For a printable Auction Donation Form,
click here. The information
on the form is used to put together the list of items that will be auctioned
off at the guild meeting.
Or, click here to send an email to
Nancy with a description of your items. Remember: donations to
the auction are tax-deductible to the extent the law allows. |
Auction Items |

First of all... Remember all those auction lottery blocks that
Marsha F. and
Sue G. have
been collecting at our monthly meetings? Sets of them will be auctioned off at our August meeting.
It's the fastest way to get a bunch of blocks for your next quilt!
You'll be able to bid on Double X blocks, Cowboy Boot blocks, Devil's
Claw blocks, and more.

 This quilt will be hard to resist. The photo does not do it justice -- The piecing is set off with a ton of both feathers and pebbles -- all of which are surrounded by a wide border quilted with a flowing vine of feathers. This is the perfect quilt to curl up under on a chilly evening! |

 This little snowflake will be bound before the auction begins -- just in time to melt your heart... |
 Here is a Bernina embroidery module for the Aurora 430 or 440 machine. Yes - you can use it to make name tags, labels, and all manner of unique creations! This bid package includes the complete set-up to use your 430 or 440 as an embroidery machine: software, case, instruction manuals, and cables. It has only been used about a dozen times - but you can use it a thousand times! |
 Love the sea? Then bid on these circling dolphins wall hanging (27 by 27"). |
 Here is a stunning string quilt -- this 46 by 63 inch quilt will add color and zest to any room! |
 Bring the sun into any room - day or night - with this tropical floral star wall hanging. It's just shy of a yard square in size... perfect for a wall somewhere in your home, right?!! |
 Do you have a child or grandchild that needs a delightful quilt? Or maybe the child within YOU needs this quilt to wrap around yourself on a dark and dreary night! Make the high bid on this one and you can take it home with you! |
 Can't figure out where to display some of your quilts? Here's a great way: a quilt ladder. With its natural wood color, you can put it in any room. At 2 feet wide and 7.7 feet tall, it will fit in any room, and it has 5 rungs for displaying all of the quilts you buy at this auction. Do it! |
Woo hoo! Look at this beauty! Your guild board made these blocks and Denise added her spectacular quilting. It will be hard to let this one go to anyone but you! |
