Every May I have attend the Mennonite Relief Quilt Auction. It was something I looked forward to every spring and missed it last year due to covid restrictions. It was held online in 2020 and continues to raise money for world relief projects where people are suffering from poverty, conflict, oppression and natural disaster.
This year the quilt auction will again be held online on Saturday May 29th.
This is the quilt that my little sewing group made pre-covid and donated for this year's auction. It is quilt #108 on the program and unimaginatively called "Sampler from Quilt Run".
And in the meantime, our efforts to make this sampler quilt will bring us lots of happy memories as we collected the block kits, sewed the blocks, and worked together to raise money for a good cause.
Those good memories are priceless!! So is good help...good girl, Molly! Your quilt is just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is awesome, I hope it raises a lot of money. Give sweet Molly an ear rub.
ReplyDeleteMolly likes to supervise, I see...just like Finn! Great quilt for a good cause. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThat sampler quilt is very beautiful. Your group can be quite proud of your collective effort.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is very pretty! It seems like if the 2021 Shop Hop were to happen, wouldn't there already be some information out so stores could prepare? I hope it does go on in some form for you, and for the shop owners.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea about other states in the US, but Iowa's Shop Hop is happening in June 1 - July 31 (not affiliated in any way other than I'll probably visit at least a few stores and make my bank account cry).
Our relief sale was also held online last year. So far this year they're planning on a live auction in September. Your quilt is lovely, hope there are two people who really want this quilt. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty quilt, hope it brings a great bid for a worthy cause. There isn't an MCC relief sale near us so our tiny quilt ministry participates in a yearly auction benefiting a local church sponsored camp. Appreciate your including the link to this sale. So many beautiful quilts to see!
ReplyDeleteIt may be Spring but this gorgeous quilt screams Autumn. I can almost smell the cinnamon and pumpkin spice :-) So joyful!!! Hope you get vaccinated soon and please stay safe.
ReplyDeleteI had some of those blocks from that shop hop also. I think mine went into a charity quilt. Soon my friend soon we will be able to meet and visit.
ReplyDeleteSo many great traditions to look forward to when they return. Such a pretty quilt. I hope the next one will be just as beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful
