Some shows don't have it on the entry form unless maker and longarmer enter as a team.
As I understand it, you can't enter a quilt into Houston that was longarmed by someone else unless it's done as a partnership, and not for profit. They didn't want someone trying to buy their way into quilting fame and fortune.
I'm not sure if that rule is still in effect - the AQS shows do not have that rule.
Edited to add: Paducah does ask for the name of the quilter if different from the maker, as do most other shows. Sometimes the information doesn't get put on the information card. They also ask for the pattern source.
