Silent Auction: August 21 – September 19

by

We are still looking for items for the Silent Auction. If you are planning on submitting a basket, remember to consider items that would appeal to the general public as several of our “guests” may not be quilters. Of course, sewing and quilt items are always appreciated by our fellow quilters. In addition, we do need more quilts for sale as everyone needs a snuggle with a beautiful and comfortable quilt.

It would be helpful when submitting items, you provide a “starting bid” since you know the time and costs of materials.

The participant who brings in the most money for a single donated item will receive their QU
dues (2026) gratis. The Sit N Stitch group that brings in the most money for a group donation
will receive a $20 gift certificate, given to the contact person named in the directory, to use
at one of your upcoming Sit N Stitch sessions.

You can give Marty your items at any upcoming QU meeting. If you are unable to bring your
item, she is happy to meet up with you to get your donation. You can contact Marty O’Neill, Chair via email or by cell.
