Since
2005 Delectable
Mountains
Quilt Guild has
held an
auction of Yard
Square Quilts
to benefit
a local
charity.
The Yard
Square
Quilts
Auction
has quickly
become
a popular
event with
residents
and tourists
alike.
The quilts,
made and
donated
by Guild members,
measure
36" square
(a yard!)
and hang
in local
businesses.
Bids are
placed
online
via this
web site,
or by phone at 304-582-2368.
The auction
runs concurrent
with the Guild's
annual
Quilt Show
and Sale
and closes
on Memorial Day, May 26, 2008,
at 5:00 p.m .
In
2005, the Guild donated
the profits
from this
auction
to the
Morgan
Arts Council
in recognition
of its
work to
advance
the arts
in the
community.
The Morgan
County
Public
Library
was the
beneficiary
of the
auction
in 2006. In 2007
the members chose
the Morgan County
Humane Society. The
2008 auction will
benefit Senior Life
Services of Morgan
County.
