The Guild holds a Small Quilt Auction as part of our Quilt Shows. Each member is encouraged to contribute a quilt. The auctioned quilts are made and donated by members.
The auction is a silent auction with bidding starting when the quilt show opens and closing two hours before the show ends.
Guidelines for auction quilts:
- Quilts should be no larger than 100” total outside dimensions – height plus width, times 2. They can be any shape that does not exceed this size.
- Techniques can include piecing, appliqué, embroidery, whole cloth or combinations.
- Hand quilt, machine quilt and/or embellish your quilt.
- Sign and date your quilt on the bottom right-hand corner on the back. Sleeves are optional.
- Quilts can be turned in to a coordinator between July and the September Business Meeting preceding the show. Each quilt should be accompanied by a completed data sheet, which will be used to prepare the catalog of auction quilts. The data sheet will be given to the high bidder along with the quilt. Pin the data sheet to the top of the quilt so we will know which side is up — we don’t want to hang quilts upside-down or sideways!
The Small Quilt Silent Auction form can be found HERE.
