Forsyth Piecers and Quilters Quilt Show Invitation

Forsyth Piecers are so pleased to feature the special exhibition of Triad Modern Quilters modern quilts  in our November 2-3, 2018, show at the YWCA at 1201 Glade St, Winston-Salem, NC .   As a thank you to your exhibition participants, we invite them to submit a quilt of their choice in the judged part of the show at no cost.

A copy of the FPQG Quilt Show registration form is below.  This form will need to be used for all of the quilts that the TMQG members enter into the show whether the quilts are part of the Triad Modern Quilters special exhibit or personal quilts that the exhibit participants want to enter into the show itself.   Separate forms will need to be submitted for each quilt and mailed to the address on the form.  Photos of the quilts will also need to be included with each registration form.

Thank you for your willingness to participate in our upcoming quilt show.  We think it’s going to be an amazing show and we can’t wait to see your guild members’ beautiful quilts!

 Winston-Salem Quilts 2018 - Forsyth Piecers and Quilters Guild Quilt Show
Quilt Show Rules & Entry Form
Please Read Carefully
1. Entry forms must be received no later than October 1, 2018.
2. To submit an entry, please mail your completed entry form along with a photograph of the quilt to 
Gina Kostelecky, 8138 Zinfandel Drive, Kernersville, NC 27284.
3. Entrants must be Forsyth Piecers and Quilters Guild (FP&QG) members in “good standing” (i.e., their dues have been paid in full for the 2018-2019 guild year) or members of the Triad Modern Quilt Guild or Beecassos. Triad Modern Quilt Guild and Beecassos members are limited to one quilt show entry beyond their Special Exhibit entry(s).
4. FP&QG members may enter any number of quilts but all entered quilts must be prioritized by the maker with 1 being the highest. These rankings will be used to prioritize entries in case there is not enough room to hang all of the quilts.
5. Items must be quilted items (i.e., no knitted, crocheted or other crafts will be accepted).
6. Each entered item must have its own entry form.
7. All quilts entered must be in good condition, odor free, clean and free of dirt and animal hair. It is the right of the Entry Committee to refuse any entry.
8. The Quilt Show Committee and/or judges reserve the right to divide or combine categories and to move entries to a more appropriate category. The Hall of Champions division may be sub-divided into multiple categories at the discretion of the Quilt Show Committee. If this sub-division is not required, all Hall of Champion entries will be judged as a single category.
9. Quilts need to have been completed after January 1, 2014 and may not have previously been shown in a FP&QG Quilt Show.
10. Quilts that have won a prize in a national competition (e.g., AQS, Mancuso, Quilt Odyssey, QuiltCon, etc.) may be submitted For Display Only and will not be judged.
11. All quilts must be labeled with the label being sewn on the lower left hand corner of the quilt back (as you face the back of the quilt). The label should include the name of the quilt, the maker’s name, and the year made.
12. All quilt labels must be covered at the time of the entry with a small piece of muslin pinned over them so that the identity of the maker will not be known to the judges.
13. Quilts must be submitted in a pillowcase that is clearly marked with the maker’s name and the quilt name. Exceptions may be made for art quilts that cannot be folded; however, art quilts should be contained for their protection (i.e., box, bag, etc.).
14. Quilts must have a 4 inch sleeve sewn to the top edge of the back side for hanging.
15. All quilts must be submitted no later than Sunday, October 28, 2018 but no earlier than Monday, October 8, 2018. Quilts may be dropped off at the October FP&QG meeting or at Sew Original on Robinhood Road during regular business hours. There will also be a drop off day Sunday, October 28 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Lisa Alley’s house located at 2749 Maplewood Avenue, Winston Salem. (From I-40 Business, take Knollwood Road exit. Go south on Knollwood toward Stratford Road. Cross Stratford Road and after the light at Queen Street, take the 3rd right onto Maplewood. 2749 is the 9th house on the right — the small white house just past the big brown house. The studio entrance is straight up the driveway.)
16. All quilts must be picked up after the show on Saturday, November 3, 2018 between 5:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. at the show venue. Entry claim cards must be presented in order to claim a quilt.
17. Entries will not be returned by mail.
