Our local chapter of Project Linus
has been given a lot items that are intended to be used for Project Linus, but
that we cannot turn into quilts. Or if
we could, the quilts would not be kid-friendly or too big or too costly for
Project Linus to have quilted. Project
Linus wishes to sell off quilted donations that are not kid friendly.
We will be setting up a silent auction of donation
of quilts and items. Items will have pre- set prices and we will be
able bid on the items. Other guilds and groups will be invited to attend.
The 17 items are:
A beautiful hand appliqued flannel
quilt top
A simple 20" x 30" double
wedding ring pattern appliqued on a
white background, but the pieces in the rings are 30s and 40s fabric.
A queen size quilt top, floral spools
pattern
A queen size quilt top, Garden
Lattice, pink, green and white
A quilted jacket
A "Quilt Ladies" panel
throw top
A gold and purple impeccable pieced
center medallion for a large quilt
A batik bargello quilt top
A Fairy Frost fabric center star
medallion for a quilt
A Christmas-y table runner ready to
quilt with batting and backing
A 3-D appliqued block of violets
A fused applique block, 16" x
24", of birds on a fence
A sort of bargello heart made with
floral material of 1 1/2" squares, center medallion for a quilt
A sparkly blue and white table
topper, finished, could easily be turned into a tree skirt
A purple and gold, stack & whack
method table runner
A fall color table-runner, top only,
made of 3 pieced blocks
A large black, green and red pieced
quilt top
The board saw the items and they were
special. Many of these items are
samples that have been donated by quilt shops.
Money raised will be used by Project
Linus to help support their quilting mission.
We will be earning a payment for holding the auction.
