quilt shows

I'd be interested in knowing when the Mankato show is. I will be in that part of the state for over a week in April--2 weekends, so there's a chance they could coincide. That would be a great thing for me to take my mom to.

Our guild is having a show in May, in celebration of our 25th anniversary as a guild. I don't have the dates right now & also don't know the cut off for entering quilts. But I will offer this. You have to put a limit on your judged quilts because a judge can only do about 50 in a day. We found this out last time & had to get a second judge for another 25. So you can say you will accept the first 50 who want to be judged or something similar. You can also put a limit on entries equal to the number of hangers you have. But really a quilt show is more interesting, the more quilts it has, even if they are draped over chairs. We did this at a show one time, too. Our guild has a rule that you can't enter a quilt that has been in a previous guild show.

The NW AR quilt show is the first weekend in April at the Springdale Convention Center. That was a great show last time. They alternate years, also. They gave away lots of door prizes and had some wonderful vendors from Eureka Springs. I'm so happy this is before I leave for MN!!! I'd hate to miss theirs more than our own.
