Quilt Show 2014 - A SEA OF QUILTS

Our 2014 quilt show, "A Sea of Quilts", will challenge you to make a quilt that is in some way about water. You will need to write a short story about how water is represented in your quilt. The challenge will be judged the same as it has been in the past, but there will be an additional ribbon this year given by the committee for the quilt we think best meets the challenge. The show will also include special exhibits, a silent auction, a vendor mall and, of course, quilts! The show will be held October 3-5 at Riverview Hall in Shreveport, LA (click for map) in conjunction with the Red River Revel Arts Festival. Hours are Friday 10-6, Saturday 11-6 and Sunday 11-4.

Every quilter loves a good quilt show and what makes a good quilt show great is the dedication of the volunteers who put it together! Red River Quilters produces an annual quilt show in conjunction with the Red River Revel Arts Festival. There are lots of ways to participate:

· Join the planning committee (meets monthly during the year)

· Help with set-up/takedown the weekend of the show

· Volunteer during the show (from “white gloving” to ticket sales to door greeters, there’s a place for your talents)

And most of all, enter your quilts! All members are encouraged to submit their quilts. Nervous about having your work judged by a professional quilt show judge? Simply skip reading the critique sheet. A quilt show is really like a huge “Show & Tell”. Think of your quilt inspiring someone else to go home and start sewing. What better compliment could there be?
