35 members submitted quilts with 54 quilts displayed including Challenge Quilts. Two quilts sold with proceeds to quilter and LeMoyne.
$972 was dispersed to QU for their 60% of the Silent Auction. 3 items had no bids and were returned to the donor. 2 items were not picked up 30 days after the Silent Auction ended and were returned to the donor.
$1,000 was collected for Opportunity Quilt ticket donations. Darlene Pricher, a QU member, was the lucky winner of the quilt.
The Gallery Shop Manager was happy with sales and is reviewing any remaining items for inclusion in the Holiday Show which started November 15. All proceeds went to LeMoyne, but it’s estimated between $450 and $500 in sales.
Quilto was another success with 50 seats available and 48 filled. Sue Isaac’s “Modern Quilts” artist’s talk was standing room only.
The Show Opening reception was very well attended and included many non-QU members, YEA. This is anecdotal information; we didn’t ask for final attendance numbers asked or were they given by LeMoyne.
Sue Isaac was the highest bid item in the Silent Auction and will have her dues paid for 2026.
Bits and Pieces received $20 for having the highest bid item for a group Silent Auction Donation.
