I donated the Chocolate Covered Raspberries quilt to the silent auction at my daughter’s preschool.
I’m not sure how much I thought this sweet homemade baby quilt would fetch for, but I wasn’t prepared for this. The starting bid was $5, and with increments of at least $5, after 6 bids it was up to $35. Now the auction doesn’t end until 6pm tonight, but I could barely stomach seeing the $35. That’s just about the cost of the materials, which means my time was worth $0. 🙁
Gulp.
I just swallowed my pride.
wow! That is a big surprise! It’s such a beautiful quilt! I can’t believe they would even start it at $5! That ridiculous! I’m all for charity and donating etc. but all that hard work and like you said the materials! They should have started the bidding at least at $30. (I even think that is low, but it’s a start!) I’m sorry…I hope it goes up! Good luck! let us know what it finally went for if you find out. I’m curious!
I donated a twin size quilt to Jenna’s ballet studio for an auction, the last bid I saw was $60 and since the quilt was made out of all flannel that barely covered the cost I put into it, so again, my labor was worth nothing. People just don’t understand what goes into making a quilt!!
Well Misty I guess I’m in good company. 😉 I certainly agree that for those that don’t quilt, most have absolutely no idea on (1) the cost of materials and (2) the time put into not only making the quilt top, but quilting it and binding it!
I think I’ll find out tomorrow what the final bid was, but I doubt it was more than $35.
Gulp.
Ugh….I know your feelings on this. I donated a Moda Bakeshop Scruffily quilt done in BLUSH for an auction. I think it went for $65 and a friend bought it. I think she felt sorry for me that it was not going for more. I had to just change my attitude and know that I was donating it all from my heart to a good cause. It was a bit of a consolation that NOTHING was getting high bids that night.
