Quilt Auction History

2020

The COVID-19 pandemic made our plans for a live auction change to an online only auction. We were able to share 92 quilted items with the public and raised $10,322.12. We had many new supporters across the U.S.!

2019

A live auction featured 158 quilted items and a silent auction featured 30 quilt-related items, raising a total of $18,165. An additional $714.15 was raised through a free-will donation lunch. 

2018

2018 was the first year to have the quilt auction at the Knights of Columbus hall in Columbia as a stand-alone event! We auctioned 150 quilts and raised $19,933.50 and an extra $750 through lunch. THANK YOU to members of Savannah UMC, Centralia UMC, Red Top Christian in Hallsville, Hallsville UMC, and Columbia UCC for donating and serving the soup/chili lunch. 

2017

​IN 2017, 123 QUILTS WERE AUCTIONED OFF, RAISING $27,000 FOR THE CHURCH WORLD SERVICE BLANKETS PROGRAM. WE WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL CHURCHES AND INDIVIDUALS WHO DONATED THEIR TIME, TALENTS, AND RESOURCES TO CREATE THE BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECES WE AUCTIONED OFF.
