Operation Homefront
ASF/Lightware Solutions/The Reading Light (Beam N Read), Kelly Jackson of I Have A Notion (IHAN), Island Batik, Martingale, MyMemories, American & Efird LLC, SewEZI Quilting, Lark Crafts, Cozy Quilt Designs, Craftsy, Judy Chain of Sew Fun Quilts, New Leaf Stitches, Rebecca Goldsmith of Piece O' Cake Designs, Fabric.com, Ebony Love (Love Bug Studios) and Lily Patch Quilts.
At the Quilter's Christmas Party many sponsors donated prizes last minute and many winners passed on claiming their prize, with the request that it be used to help raise funds to benefit Operation Homefront. Thus, SewCalGal is hosting a virtual Auction to benefit Operation Homefront.
FUNDS RAISED
Thanks to those that purchased raffle tickets, sponsors that donated prizes, and sponsors that purchased advertisement space on my blog (funds were given to Operation Homefront), while my goal was to raise $1,000 we raised $2,345 for Operation Homefront! And, they were very appreciative to receive these funds!
Rules for Bidders - BIDDING IS NOW CLOSED
- Each item at auction has a unique linky that you can use to place your bid. Please be sure to review previous bids and increment in an even, whole dollar amount.
- Bids that are less than a previous bid or NOT made using a whole dollar amount, will be removed.
- This is a charity fundraiser. Please don't wait to the last minute as SewCalGal reserves the right to tweak the deadline for closing each item. Anticipate a closing somewhere between February 3rd and the 6th.
- 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Operation Homefront. Payment terms can be worked out with the winning bidder, where checks made payable to Operation Homefront will be accepted, or PayPal to SewCalGal (who will write a check to Operation Homefront). But, payment direct to Operation Homefront does offer potential tax deductions, as they are a 501c non-profit.
- Winning bids will be responsible for shipping expenses. SewCalGal is not setup to provide estimates, but will ship taking advantage of the best shipping opportunities (e.g. Flat Rate, USPS, UPS).
- Bidding utilizes the Linky tool. Fields should be entered with the following information:
- URL: leave blank - not a required field
- Name: $tbd bid amount, followed by your name or unique bidder ID that is self assigned.
- Email: Your email address
- SewCalGal reserves the right to remove invalid bids and, due to time constraints, those that do not follow the rules and have their bids removed may not be notified. Thus, bidders need to read the rules and check back.
- At the close of the auction, winners will receive an email notification, with details on payment. They will have 3 days to confirm their bid and claim the respective auction item.
Please check back as this page will be periodically updated, to add new items at Auction, as well as to announce the winning bidder on each item. A maximum of ten items will be open for bids at any point in time, but there are more than ten items that will be auctioned off. To start, here are the items for auction.
