quilt auction 2021Each year, hundreds of folks make the trip to Spicer to attend the Green Lake Lutheran Ministries Quilt Auction. Under a tent by Green Lake, bidders try to win one of the beautiful handmade quilts of all colors, stitchings, and sizes, donated from all over the world. A crowd of camp counselors show off the quilts, jumping up and down and singing joyfully. The air is filled with the scent of fresh doughnuts and pulled pork lunch. Tens of thousands of dollars are raised in an afternoon, supporting the ministry of GLLM. This event has created memories for so many staff alumni, camper families, neighbors, and donors over the years.

antique quilts
|
The quilting groups from First Lutheran Church and Zion Lutheran Church in Litchfield found three unfinished quilts in their stashes, all hand pieced. They were kind enough to donate them to the 2019 Quilt Auction and the Quilt Committee decided to have them finished. A quilting group in Nebraska has finished hand quilting the quilts and the Quilt Committee has finished completing the binding. Antique Quilt #3 was included in the 2020 Quilt Auction. It is a full sized quilt and is made of up pieces only about half an inch in size! That's a lot of pieces! The other two will be included in the 2021 auction.
