- For each entry you will need one photo of the entire quilt and one close up/ detail photograph.
- There is no charge for submitting an application…please enter several of your best!
- There will is a hanging fee of $5.00 per quilt, to help defray the expenses of the show.
A few antique quilts are needed for display to help celebrate the golden anniversary of the founding of the Lemoyne Center.

Quilts should have a sleeve and hanging board. This is a different system than the City Hall Quilt show. A flat board is needed, rather than a rod with eyehooks. The size of the support board is dependent on the size/ weight of your quilt.
Most quilts will be hung on the walls with nails through the ends of the board. Please make your sleeve about 2 inches narrower than the width of your quilt, to allow room for the hanging process.
Please plan on participating and visiting this show to celebrate the creativeness and tenaciousness of our guild members.
