Rules

• You must select a category for your quilt when completing the entry form. If you aren�t sure of the appropriate category, please make the best choice you can and indicate your uncertainty on the front of the form. Then provide any additional information about your questions or concerns on the back of the form. The Committee will then review your information and make the final decision. The Committee reserves the right to make changes in categories as it deems appropriate.

• Entries do not have to be finished when photographed. However, please turn in entry forms and photos only for quilts that you are sure will be finished before the show. To conduct a first-class show, we have to make specific plans regarding how best to display all our quilts. When a quilt doesn�t show up as expected, we may have to leave a hole in the display, and that reflects poorly on the BCQG.

• Entrants are responsible for their own insurance on all items. The signed entry form releases BCQG and Will Rogers Memorial Complex from any and all liability, and all unsigned forms will be returned. BCQG will take reasonable care to protect all entries but is not responsible for entries. 

• The Quilt Show Committee reserves the right to refuse any entry that it deems to be inappropriate or that fails to meet entry requirements. If there becomes a lack of show space, the Committee may need to delete an item; the entrant would be notified.

• Items that have been exhibited in a previous BCQG show may not be entered again.

Preparation for the Show

Each entry must have a 4� double-casing sleeve stitched to the top of the back of the quilt. If the item exceeds 90� in length, please drop the sleeve down from the top. Sleeve directions

Miniature quilts do not need a sleeve; they will be pinned to the drape. If you don�t want your miniature to be pinned, please attach a sleeve and we will try to display it without using pins.

Each entry must have a 4�x 4� fabric identification label stitched (not pinned) to the lower right back of the quilt and the inside of clothing. This label must include name, address and telephone number.

Each item, including garments, must be submitted in a fabric bag with the entrant�s name on the bag. Please include only one entry per bag. The Quilt Identification and Claim Check portion of your registration must be attached to the outside of the bag with a safety pin.

Entries must be clean and in good condition. Double knit cloth and �cheater cloth� are not permitted.

Delivery/Pickup

All entries must be delivered on Thursday, February 7 between 10 a.m. and 12 noon.

All entries must be picked up Sunday, February 10, immediately after the quilt show has been taken down and clean-up is completed. 

No entry will be released before clean-up is completed, and no entry will be released without a signed claim check. Your help with the work and patience with the process will be greatly appreciated by all the hard-working show volunteers.
