The big day finally arrived with sunshine and lots of enthusiastic members and guests. It was a happy, festive event and the guild will have a chunk of money to add to the bank account. The eighteen live auction quilts were eagerly sought by determined bidders, egged on by our excellent auctioneer, Lyn Mann, a local and regional teacher/lecturer/designer. She was great.
Here I am with Nancy Ota who made this beautiful quilt with Ellen Heck, who is a well known, prize winning applique artist. Personally, I think Nancy is every bit as talented and I am happy to say that I was the high bidder and brought this exquisite piece home with me. It is already up on the wall where I can enjoy it every day. I will write more about it at a later time.
I also brought home another auction quilt make by Nancy Gasparotti in the style of Freddy Moran and Gwen Marston. It is so bright and wild it will cheer up anyone who sees it. I'll save it for a later post.
