St Stanislaus Quilts

As you already know from yesterday's post, today was the church picnic. If you missed it, it had the best fried chicken ever! I ate three pieces just to prove it. I picked up what I thought was cherry pie. It turned out to be rhubarb and strawberry and was excellent!

We ate about 3 o'clock and afterwards mingled through the crowd visiting. The quilt auction was to start at 5:00, it was a little late getting started but Father Greg told us it was due to technical difficulties.

I snapped a few pictures (imagine that) and I will show you a few and what they sold for.

Star wedding ring. One of my favorites. It was paper pieced I was told. It measured 87 x 106 and sold for $575.00.

This was a darling embroidered ABC baby quilt. It was a little larger then I usually make, it was 42 x 65. Sold for $140.

Whirling Hexagons and it measured 90 x 112 and it went for $700.00


This was the last one to sell and was absolutely beautiful in shades of Ivory and green. It is called Tear drop and featured yo-yo's. 91 x 102 $1000.00


Another of my favorites. Nine patch Star, it looked vintage in reda, and shades of blue and tan. 94 x 114 $500.00

First I want to show you a close up of Midnight star. It is quilted with gold thread. Very daring on black fabric. Very impressive!

Midnight Star 105 x 110 sold for $1025.00

Log cabin in round 104 x 112 $700.00

Courthouse steps. This is a lot of piecing. 100 x 114 and it sold for $775.00

This is called Chrysalis Star. It was done in Burgundy's, green's and mauve's. 98 x 110 $675.00

I'm pretty sure I've seen this pattern before. It's is called Broken Dish. 96 x 111 $550.00

This is the top that was hand pieced by my late Aunt Faye. I donated the top to the sodality and the ladies hand quilted it. 92 x 106. It sold for $525. I was very pleased with what it brought. Aunt Faye would be tickled pink!

They called this one Aspen Rail. 100 x 114 $475.00

There were 34 items on the auction, including a Christmas tree skirt, 2 lace tablecloths, a grandfather clock and a lead crystal punch bowl. Nothing went for under $50.

I always look forward to the quilt auction.
