- SLEEVE - All quilts (with exception of miniatures)
must have a 4”sleeve at the top of the quilt. This sleeve must
be hand stitched on the top and bottom of the sleeve with
stitches not visible from
the front. For large quilts, the top edge of the sleeve must be no
more than 90” from the bottom of the quilt.
- 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 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 of 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 September 27, 2008, 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. All shipped entries will be
returned to the quilt owner within 10 days after the end of QuiltFest 2008.
