Entering Quilts
Maine Quilts provides members of Pine Tree Quilters Guild, Inc. and other quiltmakers the opportunity to share their work with those who appreciate this wonderful art form. Quilt entry ended May 15.
Display Quilts Division
This exhibit is open to all quilters, from beginners to the accomplished artist and from youth to seniors. A quilt is truly an expression of thoughts and feelings; often the quilt will tell a personal story, we hope you'll share your work at Maine Quilts.
Judged Quilts Division
Entries in this exhibit may be the work of individuals or groups. Judging takes place prior to the show’s opening and is done by three nationally qualified judges. Each quilt is judged individually on its overall appearance and the quality of workmanship. It is the intention of Maine Quilts to provide this as a learning experience, rather than a competition. Having a quilt judged is an opportunity to learn one’s strong points and weaknesses and provides the individual with knowledge to improve his or her quilt making as he or she continues to create wonderful quilts.
Each judge evaluates each quilt on the point system below and makes a brief statement critiquing the quilt. These scores and comments are sent to the quilter following the show. The scores from the judges are averaged and ribbons awarded according to the total points earned.
- Only 110 quilts will be accepted in the Judged Division. You will be notified only if your quilt is NOT accepted.
- Entries will be accepted by postmark date .
- An individual may enter only two (2) quilts in the Judged Division; however, Maine Quilts reserves the right to make a limit change.
- The judged quilt entry fee is $15 for PTQG members and $25 for non-members, per quilt. This fee is refundable only if the quilt is not accepted in the Judged Division. Please make check payable to Maine Quilts . (One check per entry.)
- To remain anonymous during judging of the quilt, entrants must cover , by loosely basting a piece of fabric, their name wherever it appears on the quilt, front or back. This will be removed after judging.
- The “Information for Use by the Judges” form must be filled out and submitted with the QUILT ENTRY FORM .
- To receive judges’ comments after the show, please send a business size, self-addressed, stamped envelope with your completed entry form. (One envelope for each entry.)
- If you have questions, please contact
Suanne Singer.
- Judges for 2008 are Lisa Erlandson, Dianne S. Hire and Roberta Horton.
- Please read Quilt Entry Information And General Guidelines for the complete details on how to enter a quilt.
