Comforting Quilters Silent Auction!
Once again, it is time to raise a few funds to help cover costs of fabric, batting, rotary cutting blades and other items. This year, along with our annual signature Christmas Tree ornament, we will be conducting a Silent Auction for three quilts. The auction will start upon the first bid and will continue through October 22, 2011 at 3 PM at the Battle of Byron Chili Fest. The bidding will start at $25.00 and can be raised in $5.00 increments. Please place your bid by emailing Comforting Quilters at comfortingquilters@gmail.com with your name, amount of your bid and phone number. We will contact you when you have been outbid via email or phone whichever you prefer.
Be sure not to miss with this One of a Kind Golf quilt created with vintage golf fabric for that golf enthusiast with an estimated value of $125!
With that said, please welcome the first of three quilts to be auctioned! You will be able to view all three quilts on the CQ Silent Auction tab as they become available!

CQ General Store!
Comforting Quilter's teamed up with the ICU Survival Kit crowd and had a great time with our Battle of Byron General Store fundraiser. Root Beer Floats, Penny Candy, Raffle tickets for our Quilt, boiled peanuts and a fabulous Quilt Show of quilts kindly donated by local residents filled the Byron Depot with fun and excitement
Thanks to everyone who assisted in making our store one of the highlights of the Battle! We couldn't have done this without you! All total we raised over $600 for Comforting Quilters and ICU Survival Kits. These funds will go along way towards purchasing items needed to provide a little comfort to those needing a snuggle from a quilt or anxious in the waiting rooms of local ICU Units.
Be sure to view the slide show of our event. We had a GREAT Time! See you next year
