Welcome to our Quilt Show
Having professionally certified judges at our show brings it to a distinct level. Getting a beautiful ribbon for your work is really an exhilarating moment for a quilter. There are several special awards from sponsors outside the guild. The winners are chosen by three categories of people: our two certified judges by the National Association of Certified Quilt Judges (NACQJ), a committee of representatives chosen by a sponsor, and the quilt show attendees.

Special awards that are not professionally judged are the Viewers’ Choice Awards chosen by the quilt show attendees as well as one specifically for our Youth category.

Photo Requirements
Entrants will need to upload a color photo of their quilt when doing the online entry. Your color photo is used for identification purposes only so it does not need to be a professional quality photo. Click on the link below for a short video to help entrants format their quilt photos in a smaller file size and save as a JPG file before uploading with the entry form.
Click on the link below for a second video which is geared toward those who would like to learn how to take a more professional quilt photo and is only offered as a gift to you from the guild.
