Mona, Kate and a friend share a secret as they decide what to bid on the next item. The auction is always a big event at the CQ Retreat and as you can see from all the brown bags there was plenty to bid on in the silent portion of the auction.

Kathy K. won these great threads, laces and motifs during the auction.

Nark and other's helped Nancy Kirk (sitting in the center) as she auctioned off lots of items! There was so much to bid on this year that it was easy to spend what little money you had left from shopping at Manglesen's and all the great vendors at the show.
