Now, as he approaches retirement, those beloved quilts will be going to new homes.

Wocken plans to auction off all 27 quilts he's made to create an endowed fund for St. Katharine Drexel student scholarships.

After 27 years of quilt making, I wanted to share the incredible creations with the wider community and, in doing so, give back to the school that has provided me with so much joy.

Wocken just completed his final classroom quilt before he retires at the end of the school year.

The online auction will be open until midnight March 31st.
