Challenge Rules - A Reminder

Happy New Year!
The countdown is on. Our quilt show will be here before we know it. I hope to post regularly about the show. Today I'm sending a reminder about our show challenge. Have you been thinking about this.? Perhaps you have already started or even finished a piece. I hope so. If not, it's certainly not too late.

Right now our focus is on publicity. We want to get the word out about our show. Members - let us know if you have any ideas along this line. We have bookmarks and posters ready for the printer.



Quilt Show Challenge
Theme - Stars of My Patriotic Heart

The Rules ~
  1. The size of the completed piece must be no smaller than 10" x 10" nor larger than 40" x 40". For example: your piece could be 10" x 40".
  2. Follow a patriotic theme with your country’s colors (USA - red, white and blue - CANADA – red and white) in shades desired. For example off white or cream is acceptable.
  3. Please use stars and/or stripes somewhere in the construction.
  4. Your piece can be appliquéd, pieced, painted, beaded, colored, etc.
  5. Your entry must be hand or machine quilted and bound.
  6. Attach a label on the back of the quilt with any appropriate information, but be sure you include the name of the quilt, your name, and the date completed.
  7. The deadline for submission will be May 4, 2011. This is the date of our monthly group meeting. Quilts may be delivered before the date in a large brown paper bag to Debbie Baldwin, Mary Snell, Sandra Harris or Kathy Casey. Please put your name on the outside of the bag.
  8. Three awards will be given in the following categories a. The member's choice picked by votes at the May meeting. b. The best interpretation of the theme as judged at the Quilt Show. c. The viewers choice, selected from only the challenge entries at the show. Award ribbons will be placed on the Challenge Quilts at the show in June.
  9. Quilts will be returned at the conclusion of the Show on Sunday, June 12 2011
  10. Keep your interpretation of the Challenge Quilt a SECRET! Any questions, please call Debbie Baldwin @ 265-2717 or Sandra Harris @ 265-4188.
