General Quilt Show Information
Details
​We Need Your Quilts

​We pride ourselves in showcasing our talent at our quilt show.  We encourage all our members to register at least one quilt in the show. It is a great experience; to be proud of your creation, and it provides a chance to take a good picture of your quilt hung up.
​Note that there is no limit of quilts you can show. 

The rules for entering a quilted item are:
  • The item must be quilted by hand or machine.
  • The quilt has not been in one of our previous shows. Our last show was in April 2023.
  • You must have worked on piecing or quilting the quilt
  • The quilt must be clean, free of pet hair/dander, and scent-free (including no odor of smoke)
  • You must be a paid member of the Arnprior & District Quilters' Guild for the current guild year
We group the quilts into categories based on type of item and size, and also by specific guild projects. Our little quilties (previously know as preemie quilts) will also be on display.  Quilties do not have to be registered, just hand them in to the Charity table prior to the show. There are generally sections for Christmas, table runners, wall hangings, and baby quilts.  Wearables and bags are also welcome.
Items for each guild challenge and activity from the last 3+ years (fall 2023 to now)  will be grouped together. These include President's challenges, Mystery Quilt, Try Something New Challenge and more (all listed below.) 
A security guard will be on site during the off hours to keep our quilts safe.


​ Scrappy Upcycling Display – This display will be of various aspects of scrappy quilts, with some history of older quilts and modern patterns, etc.  If you have any ideas or items for the display, please email Vickie MacNabb. 

Online Quilt Registration
  • You must register each item that you are providing for the show.  
  • Registration began on Monday April 27 and ends on Sunday May 17.  
  • If you are unsure if the item will be completed in time for the show, please register it - if it’s completed bring it along, and if not, no questions will be asked.
  • Registration involves completing and submitting an online form for each item. If the item was made for a particular guild activity, please choose the appropriate Activity. To assist you in planning ahead for registration, the choices you can make are listed below.

Drop Off & Pick Up
You can drop off your quilts on Friday, May 29 at the Nick Smith Centre arena from 8:30 AM - 11:00 AM. Ensure that the unique number assigned to the quilt is attached to the it along with your name. We will have you sign our register to confirm we have all your registered quilts.   If this time is not possible, someone else can drop off your quilts, or contact Joyce Murray at 613-623-5513 and we will be happy to make other arrangements. 
 
On Sunday, quilts can be picked up and signed out after the show closes at 4 PM.  To respect that some folks may still be at the quilt show looking around, we would ask that no quilts be taken down prior to 4 PM.  Your quilts can only be picked up by you, or a person previously designated by you.
Volunteer Opportunities
The quilt show is possible only with your help.  The camaraderie with helping at such a community event is satisfying.  There are lots of volunteer opportunities available.  Help is needed both in the quilt show proper, and in the tea room.  You can sign up for your volunteer shift(s) at the April and May guild meetings.
​Tasks that you can sign up for are listed below along with the respective contacts if you have questions or require additional information.
