Special Exhibits:
ELIQG Member Challenge 2012:
This year’s guild challenge will be to create a “Star Spangled Banner”. You may interpret this any way that makes sense to you. You may use a line from the song itself or any interpretation of the phrase, either literal or figurative. The requirements are measurements between 20” x 20” and 30” x 30”, any shape is acceptable as long as it meets the size limits. It must also meet the generally accepted definition of a quilt – 2 layers of fabric, with a layer of batting between. Register using the general Show registration form, checking the box that indicates a challenge quilt. Please include how you interpreted the theme in your description. If you use a line from the song, please make sure to include it.
ELIQG MEMBER SPECIAL EXHIBIT:
This year’s show will highlight an exhibit of quilted placemats. But there is a catch! All placemats will not be returned – they will be donated to area Meals-On-Wheels programs.
The rules are simple: Size limits- 12-14” deep(top to bottom and 18-20” wide(side to side), NO holiday prints accepted. Flowers are fine but try to be gender, neutral there are men who will be getting these too. NO embellishments that are not thread and fabric, we want them to be used and washed.
If you would create your placemats in groups of 4 or more then we can give to more programs! Have fun putting a smile on someone’s face.
