Pre-registration is required. The deadline is August 1.
Pre-registering does not commit a member to enter a specific project. We are willing to subtract, but not add. You will need one form for each entry. Extra forms will be in our mailbox in the Rose Center office.
Completing pre-registration forms:
Write legibly and limit quilt idea/inspiration to one paragraph. You will not be allowed to change a quilt name once this form has been turned in.
If possible, please also submit your photograph with pre-registration form. The photograph should be no larger than 4”x6”. We do not want photographs of unfinished quilts. Do not write on back of photographs.
New rules about number of quilts that can be entered:
Members can still enter three quilts in addition to a challenge quilt. However, the option to enter more quilts for a fee has been eliminated. In addition, a member may not enter more than one quilt in a category. Non-members can still enter our show for $20 per entry.
Rules for drop off: Tuesday, Sept 8th, 10am – 1pm If entry has not been pre-registered, it will not be accepted.
ALL entries, except wearables, purses, dolls, jewelry must have a 4 inch sleeve attached.
NEW: ALL entries must be in a CLOTH bag. The bags should be labeled with Name of Entrant, Name of Quilt, and a Phone Number. In addition, the bag should be adequately sized for the entry.
Photograph, if not already submitted, must accompany entry. If there is no photograph, you will be charged a $5 photography fee.
NEW: Your name must be covered on your quilt label. We recommend attaching strips of blue tape. An alternative would be to baste a fabric cover over the label.

2009 Guild Challenge:
The 2009 guild challenge is to create a project that is based on a saying or proverb. You may choose your own saying.
Your finished project must use two different techniques in its construction. No side may be longer than 40 inches.
Examples of "techniques" in construction would include applique, any piecing technique, embroidery, and finishing techniques such as embellishments, trapunto, sashiko, or a special binding technique. These are examples only -- not a comprehensive list.
