Here is your opportunity to showcase your grandmother’s heirloom quilt or your own handiwork in quilting.  The 44th East Texas Poultry Festival Quilt Show, sponsored by Scull Timber, will be held at the Windham Civic Center in Foster Hall in conjunction with the 2020 East Texas Poultry Festival on October 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

 

Quilt categories are as follows:  Pieced and Quilted by Hand; Pieced and Quilted by Machine; Combination Hand and Machine Assembly; Applique, Embroidery and Whole Cloth; Small Quilts and Projects; Beginner Quilter; Youth (under the age of 18) and Heirloom/Antique Quilts and Past Winners for exhibition only.  Quilts may not have been previously entered in any East Texas Poultry Festival Quilt Show.

 

There is no limit on the number of Quilt entries by an individual but each entry must have a completed paper label attached to the back of the quilt.  Ribbons will be awarded for Best of Show (Adult and Youth), People’s Choice Award (Adult and Youth) and the Chamber of Commerce Award.  Other awards include 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and Honorable Mention ribbons according to the categories.  All awards are the final decision of the judges.

 

Entries will be accepted on Monday, September 28 from 11:00am to 4:00pm at the Windham Civic Center located at 146 Express Boulevard in Center.  Entry fees for all quilts is $2.00 per entry for adults and youth.

 

The Quilt Show, the Photography Show and the Creative Arts Show will be open to the public Thursday, October 1 through Saturday, October 3, 2020 from 10:00am to 3:00pm.
