Children's Quilt Show entries
I am looking to enter my daughters quilts into shows. Some shows have a children's section and I wanted to get some information. Does not have to be Judged. I just want to encourage her to quilt and show her work. She is nine.
Any suggestions for her to enter would be great! Erika |
Fairs always seem to have a good selection from children in the artforms and usually kids get a ribbon just for entering
|
My son entered his first quilt last year in the county fair as well. He enjoyed it so much he has ideas for entering this year as well.

At the fairs/shows I've been to usually have a youth entry category where every entrant gets a ribbon. There are so few entries that getting a first or second place in the category is not too difficult. If it is a judged show, the judges are so encouraging in their remarks to the kids. The judge I worked with did give the first place ribbon to a quilt that had been quilted over one that was tied, even though the construction of the tied quilt was better, in my eyes! Go for it and have a blast!!

We'd love to see your DD's quilts. Please post picts here.:)

Most County and State Fairs have a special category for childrens quilts.

Thanks for the information. I am going to go look up all of the fairs in the area and see the rules for entering. I love to go to quilt shows and see the work of others. I just thought maybe some of them supported the kids! If anyone else sees some let me know! Erika
