The Quilt Auction

The Quilt Auction -- a sale favorite -- features hundreds of beautiful hand made quilts, wall quilts, afghans, comforters and other quilt-related items. The quilt auction tradition is one very special way that Mennonite women and men of Kansas use their abilities to provide resources for those in need throughout our world.

Viewing of displayed quilts begins at 4pm Friday, April 8, when reserved seats for the auction also go on sale. Individuals are limited to eight reserved seat tickets. The quilt auction begins Saturday, April 9, at 8:45am, continuing into mid-afternoon in the Meadowlark Building.

A picture Quilt Gallery of the quilts is available for viewing here.

Quilt Auction is accepting Visa and Discover cards.

Quilter's Corner

While taking in the Quilt Auction, don't forget to stop by Quilters' Corner and stock up on your quilting supplies. The booth is complete with fabrics, quilt tops, magazines and more.

Quilters' Corner, located in the Meadowlark Building, generated around $15,477 in donations in 2010.

Items being offered include finished and unfinished tops, quilt blocks, old or damaged quilts, and linens (such as dresser scarves, pillowcases, tablecloths, chenille bedspreads, doilies, potholders, aprons, and cloth sacks). Also available are quilters' equipment, quilt books, magazines, buttons, wooden spools, patterns, and fabric (including denim, corduroy, flannel and wool).

Quilter's Corner would welcome your donated quilt related items throughout the year. The used/unused/unfinished items no longer needed in your quilt/sewing or linen closet can be used to feed the hungry.

Donations of quilt-related items are accepted at participating Mennonite Church, or to the MCC Central States office, 121 E. 30th St., North Newton, prior to the sale.
