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 quilter has 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 the different 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 that entered 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: we will recognize 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners for 10-15 categories, plus Youth and Kids categories. |
| 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.
Best Use of Color The judges choose the quilt they feel has best utilized color after comparing all the quilts in the contest. 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 attend the quilt show on Friday and through noon on Saturday. 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. |
