Local groups stitch together a very special fundraiser

News release

Sierra Wildlife Rescue and the Placerville Shakespeare Club co-host a one day only Quilt

Silent Auction, Sunday, Feb. 12.

A large selection of quilts of various styles, patterns, sizes and colors will be available for purchase. Several other quilted items will also be a part of the auction. A number of the quilts are from the Alice Henry estate. Henry, an avid quilter, was a beloved and active member of both organizations for a number of years. Each stitch of her quilts was made with love and care. Also available for silent auction bidding is an all-time quilters’ favorite from the 1950s, a Singer Featherweight 221K sewing machine with attachments and case, in excellent condition.

The sale will be held 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Placerville Shakespeare Clubhouse at 2940 Bedford Ave. All sale items will be on full display. There will also be a “buy it now” price for each auction item. If a buyer chooses the “buy it now” option the item will be withdrawn from the auction and the buyer may take the item at that time.
