April 2023

It’s time to register your Quilt for the Show!  We have been planning for some time, have spent a lot of money for a facility, judges, ribbons, invited vendors and sponsors for the show, now it is time for our members to support our show and enter your quilts. This is our opportunity to showcase our work and encourage others to join our guild. I know you will come through and enter your pieces for the show. April 30th is the deadline for entry – don’t miss it!

Once you enter your quilt, you will be sent an email with instructions on when and where to take your quilts on the Thursday, June 1st. On Friday, June 2nd, the quilts will be judged and then hung for viewing. Vendors will arrive and on Saturday, we can all enjoy the fruits of our labour – seeing our quilts hung. Take pride in seeing your work up for all to view. Take this opportunity to photograph your work!  Invite your friends and family to share in your joy and hard work. This will truly be a weekend to enjoy, with your friends, a shared love of all things quilting. Don’t forget to prepare your shopping list. 18 different vendors will be bringing all of their best items to entice even the most seasoned of quilters. We also have a new vendor, Former & Latter, a clothing textiles shop new to Edmonton.

As they say, many hands make light work. This rings true with the Quilt Show as well. We will have the Volunteer signup link up and running soon. You will be able to go into the document see what volunteer positions are available and sign up. You will receive instructions and kept informed about your role via email. Watch for that link on our website.
