  • Who can enter quilts?
    • Any member of the guild who has paid dues for 2008-2009 can enter 2 quilts plus a challenge quilt in a given year. These are quilts that haven't been shown in prior RSQ shows. The only criterion for entering a quilt is that you want other people to see your quilt!
    • There is also a challenge for which you make a special quilt. This year's theme is Children's Books. Be as creative as you can. The quilt perimeter must not exceed 168 inches.

  • What if I don't finish my quilt?

  • What can I do to help?
    • ATTEND A MEETING: There is a committee that meets the 3rd Tuesday of the month through June, resuming in Sept. at 7 p.m. at the Robbins Library, Arlington, 3rd floor conference room.
    • SELL RAFFLE TICKETS: The tickets are given to all members. To help the guild remain financially solvent and provide strong speakers for the guild, all members are asked to sell $25 worth of tickets. Sell more if you can!
    • MAKE ITEMS FOR THE BOUTIQUE: You can sell items and make money at the boutique. You get 80% and the guild keeps 20%. We also love to have items whose proceeds are totally donated to the guild.
    • SELL ADS FOR THE CATALOG: We publish a catalog of the quilts each year. Members love to have copies, visitors love the discount coupons. Selling ads defrays the cost of the show.
    • VOLUNTEER FOR THE SHOW: We need help setting up on Friday night, October 3, from 5-9 PM, having people around during for various tasks - entrance fees, raffle tickets, white gloves, boutique, bake table, and tearing down the show (Sun. 4-6). Many hands make light work!
    • BAKE TABLE: Donations of baked goods or soft drinks are needed for the show.
    • DEMONSTRATE AT THE SHOW: We'd like to demonstrate quilting techniques throughout the show.
    • Contacts:
    • WORK ON THE RAFFLE QUILT for 2008: There is help needed in assembling the quilt and quilting the quilt. You also get one raffle ticket for the members' quilt (a smaller version) for each hour you work on the raffle quilt!
