A Special Note from MCC Quilt Committee:
The years of 2020-2021 were challenging for all of us and entirely out of the ordinary for the MCC quilt committee. In March of 2020, in preparation for the sale in April, we measured, numbered and photographed the quilts at the MCC center in North Newton. However, due to Covid, within a couple of weeks the 2020 sale was canceled. At that time the quilts were tucked away in boxes and stored for the next year. Little did we know that 24 of them plus a doll would be so safely tucked away that they could not be found when it was time to transport them to Hutchinson in 2021.
Then in June of 2023, after last year’s sale, the missing quilts were found. The quilts were carefully inspected and it was determined that they were in perfect condition. Like the lamb in Jesus’ parable of the lost sheep, the lost have been found! To celebrate, we are selling those 25 as the first items on the sale on April 13, 2024.
We are truly grateful for the understanding all of you have expressed about this situation.
The Quilt Committee also wishes to express our thanks to Chuck Buller, Hesston, who helped with photography and Hesston Prestige Printing who provided the printed books, and many thanks to Leo Pankratz, Wichita who provided technical support.
