The purpose of the FHQ Annual Quilt Show is to raise funds for our non-profit organization in order to purchase supplies for making quilts and continue our mission. There is an entry fee for each quilt entered and we invite & encourage local quilters to enter quilts into our show. Additionally, each quilt entered as the option of just displaying their quilts or having them judged, as we want to offer our show as a fun & unique event that everyone can enjoy while seeing quilts made locally. |
Judging |
Our judges & scribes volunteer their time; the purpose for judging is two fold. One is to inform, educate & encourage the quilters and the other is to recognize & reward the best quilts in certain categories. |
Inform |
The judges are provided a form to complete as they judge the quilts for workmanship, appearance & design. The form is completed and given to the person entering the quilt at the end of the show. |
Highlight |
As we all love looking at quilts and want to grow in our knowledge of quilting, FHQ will highlight the “best” on display. There are many ways to do this and we have chosen the following: Prizes are given to the 1st place quilts in six categories: hand quilted, machine quilted, apparel, small quilts (smaller than twin size), art quilts and kids kwilts (18 years and under). |
| The judges will also identify “best use of color” quilt and “the best of the 1st time entries into a FHQ show”. | |
| Prizes | Include Bed & Breakfast Weekend Lodging, Sewing Machines, Quilters Gift Baskets and ribbons. |
Special Acknowledgement |
Additionally, quilts in the FHQ Quilt Show will be reviewed and ribbons will acknowledge the following: Celebrity Judges Local celebrities view all the quilts in the show and select their “favorite quilt”. There are no judging criteria for this category.
Best of Show This award is chosen by the judges after comparing all the quilts entered in the contest and is considered the very “best of the best” in our show.
People's Choice The winner of this award is highlighted with a prize and special ribbon indicating the quilt selected as the favorite by all who attended the quilt show.
Vintage Quilts These quilts will not be judged but will be beautifully displayed and identified. This category can also be used for quilts that are entered but are NOT being judged. |
