I am so excited writing this. This silent auction started as a tiny thing; we just wanted to use whatever samples we had in our shop to raise a bit of money for Haiti disaster relief. And then it sort of grew a life of its own, thanks to many good folks.
Thanks to Joanna Figueroa, Stephanie Dunphy, Laurie Simpson, Pam Buda, Anne Sutton, Lissa Alexander, Barbara Jones, Bari J., Genevieve Gail, Barb & Mary, the Fat Quarter Shop girls, Robert Kaufman Fabrics, Henry Glass Fabrics, Denise Sheehan, Mary Cowan, and Happy Zombie for your quilt/craft donations! And thanks to American Patchwork & Quilting and everyone else who helped us get the word out! We didn’t solicit ANYONE for ANYTHING — they all contacted us individually and offered to donate after we had already announced the auction. Awesome.
And thank you all for participating with your comments & bids, for your willingness to use the financial resources you have, no matter the amount, to send desperately needed help & hope to Haiti. It is still their number one need for now, and we are moved that we can offer anything at all.

Thank you for hosting this wonderful auction and especially thank you to those who enthusiastically bid. Can't wait to mail my quilts to their new owners.
Such a great response. Thank you for organizing this wonderful effort to help those in need.
What an honor to be a part of such a powerful program. Thank you for giving us the platform to do this. The network of friends grows with such a tragedy.
Hi.
Anonymous here 😉
Actually it's Kerry and I have no idea why my details didn't show up. Thought I had logged in using OpenID.
Email me on headologist@hotmail.com.
I'm rapt to have won this quilt; my daughter fell in love with it.
I'll sort out the donation ASAP and send you the receipt details when I hear back from you.
Well done everyone!
Congrats to everyone. What a fabulous thing you did here, and so quickly.
Congratulations with this great auction! Lots is done here in Holland too! It gives me all a very warm feeling.
