If your second choice quilt is not selected due to the ballot, you will be refunded $10.</li><li><strong>Postage:</strong> Entrants who elect to have their quilts sent and/or returned by mail are liable for all postal costs, regardless of location. (Previously only interstate and overseas entrants had to pay return postage). We are looking to expand our network of Drop Off Volunteers. If you are interested in learning more about this important role, please contact <a href="mailto:quiltshow@quiltnsw.com" style="color: #1a76d8; font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">quiltshow@quiltnsw.com</a>.</li><li><strong>Prizes:</strong> groups and individuals sponsor prizes at the Sydney Quilt Show. Because of their generosity, we will be able to allocate cash/voucher and product to the quilts awarded a 1st place in each category, excellence or special award. All prize winners will receive a rosette and certificate.</li><li><strong>Choosing Your Category: </strong>Review the definitions and conditions and choose the category that best suits your quilt. The decision for the category entered is your responsibility. Refer to the <a href="https://quiltnsw.com/download/7035/" style="color: #1a76d8; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">flowchart</a> for assistance in choosing your category.</li><li><strong>Blue & White Special Themed Category 20</strong>: The<em> Blue and White </em>category is only open to individual members including 'quilted by another’. Juniors, groups and members who are two person collaborators may submit a blue and white quilt into their usual category. If you are entering the <em>Blue and White</em> category and your quilt is 'quilted by another' and we do not receive enough entries to create a ‘quilted by another’ sub category, your quilt will be moved to category 5 or 10 depending on whether you are an amateur or a professional. We will endeavour to display all blue and white quilts together. If you enter the <em>Blue and White </em>category and quilted your own quilt, you may nominate for the awards <em>Best Contemporary Quilt </em>or <em>Best Traditional Quilt</em>.</li><li><strong>Quilt Tops Must be Completed at time of Entry</strong>: quilts in progress are <span class="il">eligible</span> for the Sydney Quilt Show 2022. However, <em><strong>as a minimum, the quilt top must be complete</strong></em> at the time of entry. We encourage you to progress your quilts as much as possible prior to entry so you know your work will be show-ready in time and withdrawals are avoided.</li></ol></div><div><h3 style="color: #202020; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Other Reminders</strong>:</span></h3><ul><li>If you are planning on entering <em>Entrant’s Quilt Top Quilted by Another </em>(Categories 5 and 10), please ensure that your quilter is a current QuiltNSW member. <strong><a href="https://quiltnsw.com/membership/online-membership-form/" style="color: #1a76d8; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">QuiltNSW Membership Form</a></strong></li><li>Ensure that your quilt size matches your submission.

Look out for a Craft Alive event near you.<strong> <a href="https://www.craftalive.com.au/up-coming-shows/">Book a ticket!</a></strong></p><p>By way of background, QuiltNSW had a wonderful sewing day at NSW Government House. The Governor Mr David Hurley and Mrs Linda Hurley visited the group during the day and were very interested in our individual projects and quilts. QuiltNSW was later approached to see if we would be interested in recycling some curtains from Government House. This became the basis of the suitcase challenge.</p><p>For maker credits, please see the online gallery: <b><i><a href="https://quiltnsw.com/.../challenge/2019-from-these-curtains/">From These Curtains</a> </i></b></p><p></p><p>

South Wales has been devastated by recent flooding. By coincidence the next Pop
Up Sewing Day will be held at Port Macquarie, which was one of the badly
affected areas, on Saturday April 17. To support the area, why not “Pop Up” in
Port Macquarie for the day at Stitched ‘n’ Framed 18/14 Acacia Avenue, 9.30 am
to 1.30 pm, there are still spaces available and they would appreciate your
attendance.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<br />
Remember this day is FREE for QuiltNSW members to attend and you only have to
bring your sewing, either hand or machine and a mug for morning tea which will
provided by Jenny and her team at Stitched ‘n’ Framed. You can bring
some lunch if you wish. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">There is ample parking outside the shop at the front
and on the opposite side of the road. Hope to see you soon.<br />

Traditional techniques of fabric manipulation are studied and reinterpreted in a modern context. Concentric circles of folded fabric, gathered puffs, stitched details, repetitive geometry and balanced asymmetry all explore, develop, and expand the boundaries, but always with a nod to the roots of the craft. Through this exploration the works are taken from the conventional concept of pragmatism to the aesthetic, from the utilitarian blankets that quilts are known for, to artworks that be hung and appreciated for their concept as well as design.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Artist Website:</b> <a href="https://www.rachaeldaisy.com/">www.rachaeldaisy.com</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSIg5NDuj4GJHz9CC7PWCj6S2TwdnZy1de4EV7qvnAbYQ_ff0W6NDSFZ1dxGL7uXj8523_jM7mqWpuwLExPhxLW90oBEUXCwj5GzT69HULE5AnUd8hVSm4h59yYJsLRMWYUpfudQ/s600/RachaeldaisyExhibition.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="318" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSIg5NDuj4GJHz9CC7PWCj6S2TwdnZy1de4EV7qvnAbYQ_ff0W6NDSFZ1dxGL7uXj8523_jM7mqWpuwLExPhxLW90oBEUXCwj5GzT69HULE5AnUd8hVSm4h59yYJsLRMWYUpfudQ/s320/RachaeldaisyExhibition.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>QuiltNSW Webmasterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12058339223096438574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36059027.post-30436096095621236382021-03-27T15:06:00.001+11:002021-03-27T15:06:16.437+11:00Last days: The New Quilt closes 11 April<p><span data-offset-key="cl27m-0-0">Last days, don't miss out! <a href="http://thenewquilt.com.au">The New Quilt</a> exhibition continues at </span><strong><a href="https://www.hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au/gallery">Hawkesbury Regional Gallery</a></strong>,<span data-offset-key="cl27m-2-0"> until Sunday 11 April.

In 2021, the pandemic continues to present challenging and uncertain conditions for event organisers but the outlook is promising. The QuiltNSW Exhibition Subcommittee has reviewed its policies and procedures to address COVID-safe protocols and to ensure we can deliver a show to the high standard we are all accustomed to within the scope of our volunteer resources.</span><br /><br /><h2><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Call for Entries</b></span></h2><span style="font-size: 14px;">QuiltNSW is excited to invite members to celebrate creativity and to enter your quilt into a special 2021 edition of the Sydney Quilt Show. Here are the highlights:</span><ul style="font-size: 14px;"><li><strong>1 quilt each - up to 320 quilts</strong>: our goal is to enable as many members as possible to participate. Each entrant may submit 1 quilt only and entries will be capped at 320 quilts. In recent years, there have been around 300 entrants per show and we hope these levels of participation continue. Share your quilt!</li><li><strong>Online entry only</strong>: all entries must be submitted via the <a href="https://quiltnsw.com/exhibitions/quiltshow/online-entry-form/" style="color: #379ab0; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Online Entry Form.</a> If you do not have access to the online entry and payment process, please contact <a style="color: #379ab0; font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">sqsadmin@quiltnsw.com</a> and provide your telephone number for assistance. Alternatively contact the QuiltNSW office on 9283 3737. If the office is unattended, please leave a message stating your name, contact number and that it is in regard to online entry for the Sydney Quilt Show.</li><li><strong>New Exhibition dates: </strong>Wednesday 30 June to Sunday 4 July or such later dates as notified by QuiltNSW.</li><li><strong>Postponement, Cancellation & Refunds:</strong> QuiltNSW may postpone or cancel the Sydney Quilt Show 2021 provided that any postponed show dates are no later than 1 October 2021. If the cancellation occurs before the quilts are received for judging, you will receive a full refund of the entry fee. If the cancellation occurs after the quilts are received for judging, no refunds are payable.</li><li value="NaN"><strong>No Withdrawals:</strong> all entries must be available in show-ready condition for exhibition at the Sydney Quilt Show for the period up until 1 October 2021. Please choose your entry carefully. In fairness to all QuiltNSW members, no withdrawals are permitted.</li><li><strong><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK3iAzJrA_hMQcAq6nTmKCYmIPuuxGvLbPl5u1UcRY4bLi2z9S7mIvnGE440UU1GhSC9XDK7v5IkNvHtVRqIzSNo8Y6rrssAidhON2Eru7eNSCTlK2r90ub_p5wCUiCNzXqqPe3A/s643/Craft-Quilt-Fair-Logo.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Craft & Quilt Fair" border="0" data-original-height="643" data-original-width="512" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK3iAzJrA_hMQcAq6nTmKCYmIPuuxGvLbPl5u1UcRY4bLi2z9S7mIvnGE440UU1GhSC9XDK7v5IkNvHtVRqIzSNo8Y6rrssAidhON2Eru7eNSCTlK2r90ub_p5wCUiCNzXqqPe3A/w159-h200/Craft-Quilt-Fair-Logo.jpg" width="159" /></a></div>New Venue: </strong>the Sydney Quilt Show 2021 will be presented in conjunction with the <a href="https://www.craftfair.com.au/wp/Sydney/" style="color: #379ab0; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Craft & Quilt Fair</a> in the Dome and adjacent halls at the Sydney Showgrounds at Homebush. Expertise Events, the event organiser and our partner, selected the new venue after receiving feedback that many people have found accessing the ICC at Darling Harbour difficult. The new venue is on ground level so no stairs, escalators or lift; has public transport at the door; and there will be a special deal on pre-booked parking made available closer to the event.</li><li><strong>Reduced Categories</strong>: as judging will be condensed from 2 days to 1 day, two smaller categories are not available for 2021:<em> Category 12 Coverlets</em> and <em>Category 16 Two Person Collaborative Quilts</em>.</li><li><strong>Blue & White Deferred to 2022: </strong>The special Blue & White themed category is deferred to the 2022 show to be part of QuiltNSW’s 40th anniversary celebrations. You are welcome to enter a blue and white quilt in 2021 if you wish.</li><li><strong>Prizes and Sponsorship</strong>: Principal sponsors, <a href="https://expertiseevents.com.au/" style="color: #379ab0; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Expertise Events</a> and <a href="http://bernina.com.au/" style="color: #379ab0; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">BERNINA Australia</a>, have committed to sponsorship at the Sydney Quilt Show 2021. Discussions with other potential sponsors are under way with a focus on the Special Awards and First Prizes. Many businesses have struggled with the pandemic and this may require some adjustment to range and value of prizes this year. All prize winners will receive a rosette. If you are interested in sponsoring an award or prize in 2021, please contact sponsorship manager Gail Sadleir at <a style="color: #379ab0; font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">sponsorship@quiltnsw.com</a></li><li><strong>Volunteering: </strong>Volunteering is not mandatory in 2021 as we recognise that some entrants may have concerns about gatherings and COVID-19. However, as in past years, we will be relying on volunteers to set up and run the show so all assistance is greatly appreciated. The Volunteer Form will open in early May 2021.</li></ul><span style="font-size: 14px;">We hope you understand the need for the changes this year as we strive to provide a safe environment for all visitors to the Sydney Quilt Show and our wonderful volunteers who make this event possible. We look forward to celebrating creativity together and seeing your beautiful quilts. No matter what kind of quilts you make, there's a place for it in the Sydney Quilt Show 2021.</span><br /><h2> Links & Downloads</h2><ul style="font-size: 14px;"><li><a href="https://quiltnsw.com/exhibitions/quiltshow/online-entry-form/" style="color: #379ab0;
