How Many Quilts Can a QU Member Enter?
- The total quilt size/space per person is 64″x75″. (Which is a “twin” quilt in some books.) So 1 quilt or 50 quilts, if they fit in that total space you may enter them.
- They will probably not be displayed together; each requires all the same things (label, pillowcase, etc.).
- If you enter a Challenge Quilt, it is considered separately and does not need to fit in the 64″x75″space.

Gift Shop items – quilted/crafted items that appeal to the general public. LeMoyne receives 100% of the proceeds of sales. This is a great way to support LeMoyne for hosting the show for QU! Please contact Linda Stright if you have questions about items for the Gift Shop. Journal covers in composition or spiral size were suggested at the May Guild meeting if you need inspiration instructions are at https://www.quilttallahassee.com/guild-quilt-exhibits-other-shows-and-travel/qu-boutique/
From the June newsletter: Quilters and Crafters, it is time to show off your creativity! We
need 30 to 40 small items for the LeMoyne Gallery Shop. The sale of these items helps LeMoyne offset the cost of putting on our show.
Plan to make one of a kind or maybe 2 or 3 of an item. The items do not have to be quilt related, if you make jewelry, do bead work, make cards, paint or make pottery, to name a
few other crafts, those items will be appreciated also.
Quilty items can include pin cushions, mug rugs, placemats, needle books, potholders,
“quilted” cards, wallets, pouches, or small wall hanging.
Put your thinking cap on and create some lovely items for the LeMoyne Gallery Shop.
Linda will be collecting items at the QU meetings.
