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 $475.00There 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.

Beautiful, beautiful quilts!
WOW! Beautiful quilts and great fund raising! The embroidered ABC quilt was a steal!
What fun to see all these beautiful quilts. I was amazed at all the hand quilting. I didn't think that many people did it anymore. I saw a couple that looked machine quilted. Were there some or did my eyes deceive me?
I believe the black one, "Midnight" was machine quilted. Most of them are hand quilted by the church ladies!
Those quilts are just beautiful! Hey! I missed the part where they were serving fried chicken... my favorite! -Tammy
You have such excellent goings-on out there.
Church ladies pretty much rock at stuff. From fried chicken to quilting.
Beautiful quilts. Love the Whirling Hexagons.
Mmmm...fried chicken!
Happy Monday!
Wow, they made a lot of money!
I am in quilt heaven. . . gorgeous!
