Volunteering at the Quilt Show
Thank you to all of our member volunteers for helping to make this upcoming show a successful exhibition of our guild’s talents and artistry. When you sign up with this form you’ll be able to read all of the job descriptions. Please note the many opportunities to sign up for seated jobs and/or jobs where you can sit for part of the shift. If we have an over abundance of volunteers for any shift or job, we will reassign you and let you know of the change(s).
Quilt Entry
The deadline for submission of your quilt(s) has closed.
All quilts must have a 4 inch sleeve attached to the back of the quilt for hanging. For directions to sewing a 4″ sleeve click here. Quilts wider than 72 inches require a double (split) sleeve. Create your sleeve in two separate parts, leaving a gap of 2 inches in the centre to allow extra support when hanging.

These blocks will be sold in the Guild Shop under a general CQ consignment number. Help Us Sell Our Vendors Booths!We have sold about two thirds of the vendors’ booths so far, but because of the current economic uncertainty, some vendors have been reluctant to commit to a booth. We are exploring having non quilt related vendors; if you have any ideas for crafts people who should be approached, please contact Brandie Wolff at bwolff0098@gmail.com Help Us Publicize our Show!Please promote our Show on your Social Media, and talk it up to your friends and family. We have postcards ready, which we want to distribute to locations like quilt shops close enough for people to think of attending our show; if you’re going to be near out of town quilt shops, please see Dara Rowland at the May meeting to pick up some cards to take with you, to leave at shops. Alternatively, you can contact Dara by email, if you want to arrange to pick up some cards for distribution. Dara’s email address is darabridget@gmail.com Feel free to pick some cards up at the May meeting to give to your friends to encourage them to see the show! If you follow any quilt artists on You Tube, please provide their names to Dara (darabridget@gmail.com) and she will reach out to them to see if they will help promote our show. Volunteer! Volunteers can sign up for shifts at the show and on set up day, starting in September. Shifts will be roughly 4 hours long, and all positions will allow for some sitting so no one will have to stand for 4 hours. It takes a lot of volunteers to run a quilt show, so please sign up when the information is posted! Questions or suggestions about the show can be addressed to the show chairs, Heather Briant and Anne McLauchlan at york.quiltshow@gmail.com |
