The Food Basket Traveling Quilt - October 10, 2009 at the MCC Fall Festival in Albany, Or

We had 3 lots of Quilts/comforters to sell by auction. The Traveling Food Basket Quilt was the first number in each of the 3 lots. A short verbal explanation was given each time with the Traveling Quilt displayed next to the auction block platform all day. (We attached it with pins to quilting bars and stood the quilt rights) with sturdy props behind to support it.

1st offered at $1,000 "Blessing Bid", then $500, $250, $100, $50, $25, numerous levels for people to hold up their bidding numbers.

"ALL YOU TAKE HOME IS A BLESSINGS"!

1st lot raised $2,650
2nd lot raised $1,300
3rd lot raised $2,025
Total raised: $5,975!
