AAQI July Auction

The AAQI auction quilts for July have been posted.  You have until July 1 to get the word out: you have a quilt in the auction!  On second look, you very likely have more than one quilt in this auction.  My congratulations and my sympathy:  if I’m lucky enough to have a quilt in an auction, I certainly don’t want to be in competition with myself.  But we’re not doing this for the competition, are we?  A competitive mindset is just natural …  But I digress.

Back to the point, send everyone you can think of to

Now when the auction is over and the excitement is done, don’t rush to notify Marcia Middents to update the #1000 Promise page that one of your quilts has sold (if you have joined the Promise group).  Wait until the quilt has been paid for and sent — when a ‘this quilt has earned $$$’ has been added to your quilt note.  Marcia can’t do anything if you send before then and she has to send notes out and you have to resend … it gets tricky.  Too many update notes coming in to Marcia too soon also makes her cranky.  She hasn’t actually kicked her cat yet but she’s thought about it.
