Don't enter a show to win - enter for the joy of seeing your quilt handled like the piece of art that it is. But DO ask about security - it is very important. I am on the committee for a small local show and we take security very seriously. We are unable to afford the thousand plus price tag for two days of insurance so we encourage all entrants to check their homeonwer's insurance to see if they are covered. We only allow folks with a receipt to pick up quilts at the end of the show and we have had boyscouts do a sleepover for the two nights that the quilts are in the venue.
