Theme will be created to illustrate, portray, or visualize the theme of the HAAQG Quilt Show 2017 theme:
“Look What We’ve Learned” Any Technique can be used.
Youth Quilts are totally constructed and quilted by a child who is 18 years old or less (or age 19 and a high
school senior). Youth entries should be sponsored by a guild member.
Modern Quilt. A separate description will be available and will be included in the newsletter.
Potpourri This can be anything quilted that does not fit into the other categories. Examples could be tree skirt,
stocking, purses, hats, thread catchers or anything that you make with fabric and thread.
Embroidered and Embellished Quilts have 3-dimensional additions such as hand or machine embroidery,
fabric manipulation, beads, sequins, fibers, etc. on the quilt. Examples of fabric manipulation would include
folds, yo-yo’s, cathedral windows, ragged edges, etc. Crazy quilts would be included in this category.
Appliqued Quilts are appliqued on the majority (at least 51%) of the quilt, and contain fabric designs cut out of
one fabric and then stitched, or otherwise applied, to the surface of another fabric.
Pieced Quilts are those in which the majority (51% or more) of the quilt is pieced using traditional techniques,
patterns and inspirations from existing quilt history.
The entry must be made by an active member in the HAAQG who must have performed a critical role in
making the quilt. Also the Quilt Show committee reserves the right to change an entry into a different
category.
QUILT SLEEVE INSTRUCTIONS Sleeves are required for all Quilts with a top measurement of 60" or more in
order to display them on our racks. Use the following instructions to create and attach the sleeve.
1. Measure the width of your quilt.
2. Cut a muslin strip 5" shorter than the width of your quilt and 5" wide. Cut the length in half.
3. Turn all edges under 1/2" on both pieces.
4. Measure 1" down from the top of the quilt and mark.
5. Measure 3" down from the first marking to make the second marking.
6. Center the muslin strips between the two sides of your quilt, placing them 2" from the outside edges.
There will be a 3" space in the middle.
7. Hand sew the top of your strips to your first marking and the bottom of the strips to your second
marking.
NOTE: The sleeve will not be flat against the quilt. It must have a gap to fit our racks. The space in the middle
will allow our sagging rods to be tied to the frame for extra support.
