Silent Auctions

You can help the Virginia Quilt Museum by being part of the "Little Quilts, Big Talents 2013 Silent Auction.  We hope that you will choose to help us by donating a small quilt to our fundraiser or by bidding on a gorgeous little quilt by an accomplished quilter.  The in-house silent auction will begin in March and the online sessions will run from May through December 2013.  

 

We plan to widely publicize this special auction to a large audience through the use of multiple databases, a network of social media, and the resources of a professional online bidding company (BenefitBidding.com).  Your participation will help to ensure this a successful source of revenue for the Official Quilt Museum of the Commonwealth of Virginia.  Last year’s silent auctions were a resounding success and raised over $5,000 for the Museum.  This year, we hope to do even better!
