ST. ANDREW BAY QUILTERS’ GUILD QUILT SHOW FEBRUARY 15 and 16, 2013 “American Beauties” The Quilt Show 2013, “American Beauties” celebrates America. Quilts which typify Americana will be recognized throughout the show with a red ribbon. Any era of American history can be reflected in a quilt. Join us for our parade of “beauties.” The 2013 Quilt Show is a judged competition. Only active members of St. Andrew Bay Quilters’ Guild may enter quilts into the competition. Entrants must be an existing member as of October 1, 2012. Quilts by non-members may be displayed as space permits. Quilters may enter one quilt per category. If more that one quilt is entered in any category, only one will be judged. The others will be for display. All quilts entered into the competition must have been completed in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 or 2013. All quilts must be in excellent condition – clean and odor free. Quilts not meeting this requirement will not be accepted for judging or display. THE QUILT SHOW COMMITTEE RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MOVE A QUILT FROM ONE CATEGORY TO ANOTHER IF THE COMMITTEE FEELS THAT THE NEW CATEGORY IS MORE APPROPRIATE. No tied quilts will be accepted. No quilts utilizing preprinted panels may be judged. The Judge is the final arbitrator of appropriate category designations. All judged categories will be eligible for first, second and third place ribbons. Two honorable mention ribbons are available for each category as well. A Best of Show Ribbon and a Judge’s Choice Ribbon will be awarded by the Judge. An overall Hand Quilting Excellence Ribbon and an Overall Machine Quilting Excellence Ribbon will be awarded if the Judge feels that there are quilts, which merit this distinction. A Viewer’s Choice award will be presented based on the vote of the show attendees. For the Best of Show winner and Bedsize/ First Place Two Person winner a ribbon will be awarded to the quilt entrant and to the machine quilter (if applicable.) All entries must have a 4” sleeve casing attached to the back of the quilt. All large quilts must have a slit or opening in the middle of the sleeve so that an extra support hook can be attached for hanging the quilt. A quilt may have two separate sleeves in lieu of a slit in the large sleeve. Quilts less than 60” need have only one sleeve. A secured label must be on the back of the quilt listing the quilt maker’s name, address and telephone number. DO NOT USE PAPER LABELS. This label must be covered with a piece of muslin, which is sewn on or secured with safety pins. NO STRAIGHT PINS PERMITTED. If the quilt maker’s name appears in any other section of the quilt, it also must be covered. Each quilt submitted to the Show Committee must be contained in its own fabric bag (no plastic) with the quiltmaker’s name on the bag as well. Quilts are to be delivered to the Quilt Show Committee on February 12, 2013 at St. Andrew Episcopal Church between 9:00 – 12:00 Noon. Alternate arrangements need to be made to Beverly Pierzchala at (850) 217-8913. Quilts are to be picked up after 5:00 p.m. Saturday, February 16, 2012 at Our Lady of the Rosary Church.
