thank you, bidders!! You made our auction a wonderful success!
We have received some donated items that we want to share with those who enjoy vintage items. It is a live auction facilitated by our members. Proceeds from this public event will benefit Smoky Mountain Quilters' own donation fund to help other organizations preserve and share the art and craft of quilting.
Quilt historian, Merikay Waldvogel will be on hand to answer any questions you might have about these classic goodies. It should be a fun time, and you might want to bring a friend. This is a regular meeting for us, and the auction is the icing on the cake! Guests are welcome and admission is free. Detail images of the auction items appear below as well as a link to details about the items being offered. We accept cash and credit cards.
