Want to see some of this year's items up close? For the first time we have partnered with Blue Bar Quilts (6333 University Ave, Middleton) to put a small sampling of auction items out for display in their in-store gallery throughout the month of November. If you're in the area please be sure to stop by the store to check out several auction items in person, and to purchase fabric and materials needed for your next sewing project!

Learn how to contribute a quilt or fiber art creation here. Auction items must be received by October 31st to be included in the auction. Looking for inspiration? Check out items from our 2020 and 2021 auctions.

After the Auction Closes: If you are the winner of one or more items, you will receive a text shortly after the auction closes with a pay link. You have 48 hours to complete payment of your purchase, otherwise you item(s) may be offered to the next highest bidder. You will also receive an email inviting you to complete a Google form to tell us whether or not you plan to pick up your quilt or need it shipped, as well as other details. If the latter, please provide specific information about where your item(s) should be shipped.

PLEASE NOTE: This year we are applying an acquisition fee of $10 for each item at check out. This is in lieu of any shipping and handling fees. Thank you for you generosity and for supporting our work in this way.  We will ship anywhere in the continental US at no additional cost. If you need an item shipped elsewhere, please contact info@gsafewi.org after the conclusion of the auction.

Pick up will be at our in-kind partner Blue Bar Quilts (6333 University Ave, Middleton, WI 53562) with specific days and times TBD.

Please email us at info@gsafewi.org with any questions or special pick up/shipping requests or needs. 

A huge thank you to more than 100 creators for donating your time, talent, and generosity to our past two auctions. Special thanks to Gael and the entire Blue Bar Quilts crew, Barb, and Nicole for going above and beyond in your support. This auction isn't possible without you!
