REGISTRATION AND BIDDING:

In order to bid on quilts or auction items online, you will need to register by clicking the "Register" button on the auction site home page. This will require your name, cell phone number, email address, mailing address, and credit card number. Once you have completed a registration, you will receive the welcome text message or email, linking you to the items to browse, bid or buy.

How to Place a Bid 

To bid on an item, click the blue “Place A Bid” button. The next available bid will be listed in the top box. Edit your bid amount with the plus signs or type it in, or choose a recommended bid. Click the blue “Bid” button when you are ready!

How to Place an Auto Bid

To place an auto bid and to let the system bid for you, enter the maximum amount you want to bid and click the blue “Max Bid” button when you are ready!

Please note: This is not available for the Live Auction quilts, as bidding will only be available in-person. To bid on these items without attending the in-person auction, please contact our office to arrange a proxy bidder!
