QUILT OWNER’S LABEL - Each quilt must have a fabric I.D. label with the owner’s name (as listed on the registration form) legibly printed in permanent ink or stitched in the lower left hand corner on the back of the quilt. Any reference to the maker (other than the I.D. label mentioned above) must be covered during the judging phase of QuiltFest. Therefore, anything identifying your entry on the front of the quilt, should be basted over with a piece of muslin. This muslin will be removed before the quilt is viewed by the public. BAG – Each quilt, including miniatures, is to be completely enclosed in a fabric bag no smaller than a standard size pillowcase that can be closed and EASILY tied at the top. If your entry is a large quilt, it must be in a fabric bag that can be EASILY closed and tied at the top. Your name must appear on the outside of the bag. CATEGORY - Please check the appropriate category on the entry form. Note: If necessary, QuiltFest, Inc. reserves the right to move your entry to the correct category during the take-in process or judging. An attached photo of your quilt would help ensure it is placed in the correct category prior to judging. QUILT RETURN – All quilts must remain on display until the end of the show. There are no exceptions. Quilt pick-up will begin on the last day of the show, no earlier than 6 p.m. after the close of the show. Quilt owners are required to present their quilt owners receipt at the time of pick-up. All quilts not being shipped must be picked up at this time.
