The deadline for the form is before March 10, 2023. and will be strictly enforced.  If you don’t get your quilt finished in time, it is easier to take your quilt card out of the show cards than it is to put one in at the last minute.  A picture of the quilt is needed for insurance purposes.

Sleeve for Quilt – All quilts entered into the quilt show must have  4″ sleeve. Click the link below to print to get instructions on how to put a sleeve on a large quilt. All large quilts must have a sleeve for hanging the quilt in the quilt show. If the quilt is longer than 85 inches, sew the sleeve so the top of the sleeve is at 85 inches.  This will allow the extra material to be draped over the top of the quilt rack, rather than the excess be pinned from the bottom. This will protect your quilt and look better when hanging in the show. Constructing Hanging Sleeve For Quilts
