Below is the link for the registration form for the 2018 quilt show.  There is a new category this year – mentored quilts.  These are quilts that you have helped someone else make.  Many of us have taught others how to make a quilt and this would be a great quilt to show the guild.

Remember, your dues must be paid in order to have your quilts hang at the show.  The mentored quilts will be registered under the name of the guild member with recognition going to the maker of the quilt.

If you have questions please call either Chris Allison or Tammy Lawson.
