Kansas Mennonite Relief Sale

If you ever get the opportunity to attend some of the Mennonite Relief Sale Auctions, please go! There are quilts in hundreds of sizes, wall hangings and various other crafts and handmade items just ready for you to view and gain ideas!!

If you are unable to go, did you know you can view the quilts and other items online and see what price they brought? It's amazing to see the many color combinations, intricate design patterns and creative touches each one contains!

Here is one that I loved!!

This quilt is of interest to me because my Grandmother has made several quilts in the Bargello pattern! The light to dark variation of blues is beautifully displayed! This one is made by ladies from the Hands of Friendship in Whitewater, Kansas and is machine pieced and hand quilted. This sold for $2000. See the history of the "Bargello" quilt pattern; it was originally designed by the direction of hand stitches.

See many other full size quilts, baby quilts and even quilt racks at the Kansas website! Definitely worth your time to see the wonderful projects completed!
