The annual SAQA Benefit Online Auction of twelve inch square art begins on Monday, September 10, 2012, at 2PM. SAQA is Studio Art Quilt Associates.
The small quilts this year are quite innovative and delightful! This is the place to get a piece by one of your most admired quilt artists.
There are six pages of quilts to be auctioned. Page 1a is: http://www.saqa.com/gallery-mini-detail.php?ID=2053

On the first day of each auction section, the price for each piece on the two pages for that auction section will be $750. On the second day day, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern, if a piece has received no bid, the price will be reduced to $550. On the third day, the price will be $350, then $250, $150, and $75, the lowest bid that will be accepted. For more info: http://www.saqa.com/news.php?ID=1186
