Judi Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Remember back on Sept. 30 at many quilt shops across the U.S. we had the "Quilt Pink Day" and made many blocks and quilts? We had a big event up at the Mall of America too.... wish I could have went and seen all of those quilts hanging everywhere! The photos are awesome! Anyhow.... at first they said the actions would be in May 2007 then they said Feb 2007..... I still have not seen or heard anything more on this..... I went to www.quiltpink.com and it just shows the list of shops by state. No place to email them, no info. on the actions. I heard that they were going to be on ebay, but when? This event was put on by Better Homes and Gardens American Patchwork & Quilting. Does anyone have any more info. on these auctions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tymless1 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Judi.........When you go into the www.quiltpink.com there is a phone number at the botton of the page to call for questions plus another website for info. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rebecca/Illinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judi Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Nope - I looked again and that phone number is a 1-800 for Breast Cancer Helpline / Awareness and such........ and the other website listed is for the Susan G. Komen foundation.... the website just states that in the "Spring of 2007" they will be auctioned online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramona-quilter Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Judi/Sheri, I think it is .net not .com Northcott website (click here) I did not see the link Sheri mentioned. I did see QFC (Quest for a Cure block challenge) and Quilt Marathon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tymless1 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 sorry it is.......www.northcott.net ........click on quest for a cure in the left hand upper corner which takes you to another page, then click on The Quilt a Breast Cancer Support Project.

Farmersdaughterquilting Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Judi, I think this link will help you find the "Quilt Pink Day? quilts from Better Homes and Garden American Patchwork and Quilting. The Auction starts April 5th on e-bay. I found this link through the web site of one of our local quilting shops that participated, here in Canada. The link seems to work through electric needle web site?. Here we go! Follow the link to the ?eBay site ?at the top of the page. http://www.theelectricneedle.com/quiltpink.html Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathutti Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 I quilted a couple for our local shop in Portland Maine. I think the shops had to have them in by the end of February. The auctions should be in May 2007. I would keep looking on www.quiltpink.com Pat Hutti APQS Discovery South Portland Maine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathutti Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 OOps it does look like it starts in April 5th. The shop I quilted for is not on the list yet so they (Mainely Sewing Machines a Viking Dealership) must be asigned to May. Thanks for the link!!

Judi Posted March 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Karen - Thank-you - thank-you! Thank-you!!!! :)That is the info I was looking for!!!!!! Now I have some time to look things over and find out the when and where of the ones from the shops I want! Again - Thank-you!!!:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patch Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Just a note: This was hilarious to read through, LOL! I'll look up the auction too, to see all those quilts. Hope I can find it, LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judi Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 No Photos yet of the quilts - on that other site of sold ones from Oct..... those photos are gone too..... I could not pull up any old auction info. That must have been a different thingy though, not through Better Homes. I saw many from Minnesota, should have been some from Mankato area but I didn't see any listed. I know a few were made for this...... There is a long list of a schedule for 3 weeks of auctions. Each shop name, city and state are on there. Says there are over 4,000 quilts to auction..... that will be Many photos to look through! I know one shop from the cities said that they "better get over $2,000" for their quilt. I really want to find the auction and bid on that one! Patty - I am glad we amuse you - I even laugh at myself!!! LOL!! Makes life much more enjoyable - doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmersdaughterquilting Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Judi If you go the links for the individual quilt shops you can usually see the quilts they did. This is time consuming. I am looking for a site that shows all the quilts together. This effort was an amazing contribution from the quilt community and it would be wonderful to see everyone?s contribution in one location. Perhaps eBay will post them when the auction gets closer. Happy Quilting KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judi Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I am sure that there are photos and auctions already printed up but since the start date is later - they do not show yet. I am hoping that in each auction - along with a photo - they will say what shop made it or where - and also maybe who quilted it! I know I am asking for alot - but hey - thats how they will get more money for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
