Hi All,
I will be returning back home to Ireland in April 2012 and I was thinking that before I go home I should try to enter a quilt show as a rookie quilt. I am a new quilter and a new longarm quilter. My family is very young so it is very hard to find the time to put into it but I do try to do a little every night.
I am not working on anything quilt showish at the moment but was wondering how you go about it. I seen there will be one for longarm quilters where I am in November which would give me enough time to get organised but when I contacted them about their website not working (application forms etc) I didn't get much further. I am in Arizona so if you know of any quilt shows coming up and how you go about preparing and entering into one I'd love to hear from you.
I know it is a long shot of winning anything but I may aswell try while I am here in the country!
Thanks :)

As a former judge I'm very happy to see that you have the right frame of mind about entering your quilt to be judged. The best thing to come from having your work judged is the Critique sheet. Then you can see where and what you need improvement in and you can go forward and do better in the next show.
Good luck, Kutnso
