modern for Modern: Quilts Benefiting the MQG

Our first MQG Auction raised almost $7,000! We are really happy with the community, and sharing, and quilt-admiring that came out of this fun experience. Many thanks to our members and friends for following along, and our bidders for making everything interesting! The first Auction is a wrap, but it won't be the last.

Special thanks to our Lead Donors - Alejandra Alcantara, Kathy Cook, Tina Curtis, and Audrey Esarey - for being with us every step of the way. 💟

Thank you for supporting the MQG!
