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.
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.
Beautiful, beautiful quilts!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Beautiful quilts and great fund raising! The embroidered ABC quilt was a steal!
ReplyDeleteWhat 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?
ReplyDeleteI believe the black one, "Midnight" was machine quilted. Most of them are hand quilted by the church ladies!
ReplyDeleteThose quilts are just beautiful! Hey! I missed the part where they were serving fried chicken... my favorite! -Tammy
