Bayside Quilt Guild 3rd Auction

Parade Queen For A Day 

{Now is the time to practice your wave}

One seat was available to ride in a pink convertible. 

The one lucky winner can pick from 4 local parades.

 A sampling of quilts tops in the live auction.

 Rows of tables with lots and lots of themed

baskets ready to bid on.  The ladies of the Guild

worked hard on pulling all this together.

 The Full Moon Crab Feast

was donated by Laura {pictured below}.

 The Guild's current President Laura B.

taking a break in the kitchen area.

There was coffee and lots of homemade

goodies to snack on throughout the morning.

 Items in the live auction

 My donation of an American Girl tote bag filled with

dresses.  Another Guild member was kind enough 

to donated one of the retired AG dolls from her

personal collection.

 My Chocolate Fix Basket
I think my two donation items raised over 
$300.00 for the Guild.

 The Art Quilt Calendar with Box

This item drew big $'s ... I lost count of

the bidding but think it ended at $800.00!

 Each block represents a different month of the

year and was created by 12 different
Fiber Art Bee members.

 The storage box [lower left corner] was made

from dupioni silks in a crazy quilt design.

 Ladies who look, bid, and then re-bid on

baskets they 'must' have.

 Ladies who collect the $ money $.

Everything from start to finished was so organized.

 Here we have Chris [in the red top] so happy

to see me and my camera [hahaha] ... she's

happy because I turned-in my 3 quilt

tops totally complete and picked up 3 more to make.

 Chris is the Community Outreach Queen of Bayside Quilters.
She has boundless energy for the 'cause'.

Quilts For Comfort 
A stack of finished quilts are being taken to 

Tom's River, NJ for those who lost everything in Hurricane Sandy.

The top two quilts are ones I completed for Outreach.
I'm not sure if they will go to New Jersey or not.

All in all it was a great morning. I'm looking
forward to learning how much money the
Guild raised to help support various activities
throughout the year.

Have A Great Day
