GUIDELINES AND RULES:

  • We encourage each member to enter at least one quilted item in the show. Entries must be a finished quilted piece, consisting of three layers and quilted by hand, machine, or tied (excluding Art Quilts).
  • Only OCQG members in good standing by June 1, 2010 are eligible to enter quilts/items. Quilts must be made by or owned by an OCQG member. If made or quilted by someone else, identify them on the entry form.
  • A 4" sleeve is required for all quilts except wearables, miniatures, and miscellaneous items.  In addition, miniatures and other “flat” items such as table runners must also have a sleeve, but it can be smaller—just wide enough that a ½” dowel will fit through it.   Quilts without adequate sleeves will not be accepted for the show.   Sleeve instructions will be published in the OCQG newsletter and on the OCQG web site.
  • Entry forms may be submitted anytime up to the Monday, July 5th deadline—No exceptions!
  • Multiple entries will be accepted in each category. If there is insufficient hanging space for all entries, the hanging committee will make the choice of items that give each member an opportunity to show their work. A completed entry form is required for each item.
  • Individual quilts will be hung at the discretion of the quilt show chairperson(s), taking into account the number of entries from each member, number of entries in a given category, etc.
  • Fill out the label provided with entry forms and baste it to the lower right hand corner (as you look at the back) of your quilt, or on the inside of the garment. No pins are allowed.
  • Quilts for sale hanging in the show will have a "FOR SALE" tag attached with the owner's name, phone number, and price. You must indicate on your entry form if the quilt is for sale or not.  Sales will be through the boutique. Owners will pay 10% commission to the guild.  Lists of quilts for sale will be at the boutique.
  • The quilt drop-off depot system for collection of entries will be used. All quilts/items are to be delivered to the depot in your area. Arrange for your delivery during the last week of July, no later than August 3rd. No entries will be accepted at the show site.   Bring the completed receipt for each entry to the depot. It will be signed, numbered, and returned to you to keep for the return of your quilts after the show. You must have your signed receipt to pick up your quilts.
  • Items for Activity area, Boutique, or Children's Corner are to be delivered to the Quilt Show Site Thursday before the show opens on Friday between 9:00 and 11:00 a.m.
