| Join the Pennsylvania Relief Sale for a live online quilt auction to support MCC No images? Click here   #6 FAN LOG CABIN  #23 CHRISTMAS POINSETTIA  #28 STARBURST "100 Quilts for 100 Years: Honoring MCC's Centennial Anniversary: 1920-2020"The Pennsylvania Relief Sale Quilt Auction is an all-virtual event this year that will broadcast live on Saturday, October 24 at 10:00 a.m. EDT and continue until all the quilts are sold, approximately 3:00 p.m. After the 50th quilt is sold (approximately 12:30 p.m.), there will be a short break with MCC updates, followed by the live auction of commemorative MCC items and an opportunity for blessing bids. Early pre-bidding is strongly encouraged! Register to bid by clicking here. A credit card is required at the time of registration in order to place a bid and will be used to pay for your items. Just to note: the highest pre-bid amount will be the amount the auctioneer starts with for the live bidding. Because this is a live auction, there is no way to put in a maximum bid, so if you really want a specific quilt or wallhanging, make sure you tune into the live auction on Saturday! What does a "live auction" mean?The announcers and auctioneers will be broadcast live over Zoom. This is a view-only Zoom event meaning they won't see or hear you. You can watch the broadcast on the Live Broadcast page. However, bidding will not take place on the Zoom platform. You will need to be logged in to your account in order to place a bid. To follow along with the live items, be sure to be on the Live Auction page. It may be easiest to set up two devices or two browser windows on your computer to get the full auction experience. For example, you may find that it is easiest to watch the Zoom broadcast on a tablet or mobile device and use a laptop or computer to place your bids.Think of it as you are watching a sporting event (live auction) while listening to the commentators give you the play-by-plays (live broadcast).  #30 AMISH WITH A TWIST  #73 BEACH HOUSE  #90 STARBURST CROSS  #33 LOTUS FLOWER  #81 LABYRINTH  #94 STARGAZY  #44 PURPLE PASSION  #84 BLOCK OF THE MONTH  #0.0 CENTENNIAL PITCHER Please note this is just a small sample of the 100 beautiful quilts, wallhangings and table runners up for auction!
