2011 THEME QUILT: "Piece of Cake"

 

NB Please note that BENCHING TIME for the quilt section is on the TUESDAY afternoon before the show. We are fortunate to have accredited judges from the WA Quilting Assoc who travel down from Perth to do the judging. Judging happens either Wednesday or Thursday to fit in with the Judges. Quilts may be left at the Show Office, or with the Stewards. Thanks for your co-operation.

 

Special Regulations:

  • Sleeve (Finished width at least 3") to be attached to the back of the quilt or wall hanging.
  • Please note that very large quilts may be folded to fit on the hangers.
  • Your Quilt statement: Please attach approx 20 words to tell the story of your quilts. This should include details such as "original design" or the name & source of the pattern or kit used. Special inspiration or reasons for making the quilt. Was it made during a workshop? If entering the Theme Challenge - how  you have interpreted the theme. The judges read this to assist with judging and their feedback to you.
