Small Quilt Auction
Dear Editor: Wow! Ocean Wave Quilters’ 24th annual small quilt and related-items auction to raise funds for scholarships is over and was again a big success.
The guild brought in $2,799.51 before expenses thanks to the 34 people who signed in.
Twenty-one mini quilts went home with happy winners along with 45 more items that ranged from fabric to vintage linens and quilts to books, kits, tools and a wrought iron quilt rack.
We extend a huge thank you to all the great helpers from Harrigan Centennial Hall staff and the guild who worked behind the scenes and during the auction, several who took on more than one job.
Also thanks to KIFW, The Daily Sitka Sentinel, KCAW and Sitka Soup for publicity and businesses that hung our posters.
Of course, it also wouldn’t have been such a great success without the many who donated the little works-of-art quilts and other auctioned items and all the supporters who showed up and bid generously.
We couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you.
Megan Pasternak and
Karen Boyer,
Ocean Wave Quilters Scholarship Auction Coordinators
