Quilt Show Entry Rules, Guidelines & Procedures
-
Submit entry form and waiver as soon as possible, but no later than August 25, 2023.
-
Use one form for each entry.
-
Processing fee is $5.00 total for any number of quilts you enter. Please pay by cash or check (made out to Peninsula Quilters), when you drop off your quilt.
-
Rank all your entries (e.g., #1, #2, etc.). In the event we have too many entries, your notation will help us decide which ones to put in the show.
-
Quilt tops must be made by a PQ member.
-
Entries displayed in previous PQ Quilt shows are ineligible for entry. It is permissible to enter quilts previously shown in other shows (e.g., County Fair, SF Quilt Show, PIQF, etc.).
-
A "quilt" is defined as a layered sandwich consisting of a fabric top, a middle layer (batting) and a backing, in which layers are held together by stitching.
- All entries MUST be accompanied by a color-accurate photo of the entry. Label hardcopy photo with your name, entry title and quilt size. Preferred electronic format is jpeg, low-to-medium resolution. Photos allow us to plan our show layout/floor plan prior to receiving quilts.
-
All quilts must have a 4-inch inch sleeve stitched to the top of the quilt back for displaying. A link to sleeve directions is posted on our web site under Quilting by the Bay.
- The maximum size is 80 inches wide and 90 inches long.
-
Quilts must be clean and free of animal hair.
-
In addition to your own label, fill out the label provided on the entry form and sew it to the lower right hand corner on the back of your quilt No Pins Please.
-
Please bring the CLAIM CHECK for each entry when delivering entries for show. A Quilt Show representative will provide an I.D. Number and sign the claim check to indicate the entry was received. This claim check is your receipt and will be required to reclaim your quilt at the end of the show.
