Quilt show: entering the 2009 show

Let's go! Finish that binding. Attach that label. It's quilt show time again!

This year entry forms are due no later than February 9, 2009. Each quilt entered into the show must have its own entry form accompanied by a color photo of the quilt (a "work in progress" is acceptable) and a photo of yourself. All quilts must have an identifying label sewn on the back, lower right side and a 4-inch sleeve for hanging.

Judged Quilts

Ready for the critical eye? Here's your chance to have a professional quilt judge critique your work. All you need to do is complete the entry form, choose "entry to be judged" in the upper right hand box, and pay $8 per entry. All "judged" quilts must be hand delivered to Cabin Fever Quilt Shoppe, 826 Lincoln Way, Auburn, on Thursday, April 2, between 8 - 10 am.

Exhibited Quilts

All "exhibited" quilts must be hand delivered to the Armory Building at the Gold Country Fairgrounds on Friday, April 3, between 8 - 11 am.
