Dallas Quilt Celebration Mini-Quilt Auction

Saturday, March 13th at 1:30 p.m.
Dallas Market Hall

One of the highlights of the day on Saturday will be the annual “live” Miniature Quilt Auction. This event will begin on Saturday, March 13, 2010 at 1:30 p.m.

You can help to make the 17th annual auction an exciting event by donating one (or more!) of your quilted creations. You may wish to create an original design, make a mini from your favorite pattern, or perhaps be inspired by the Show Chair’s Theme “Log Cabin Quilts.”

Members of the Guild may turn in their donation quilts and registration forms at the general meetings. The Quilter’s Guild of Dallas, Inc. is a non-profit organization so your donation to the Guild is tax-deductible. Following the auction, a receipt in the amount of the auctioned price of your donation will be mailed to you for tax purposes.

The beneficiary of the 2010 Mini Quilt Auction is the Senior Source.

The Senior Source, a United Way Partner, will use the funds to support and train their volunteers who assist frail, vulnerable elderly with personal and financial affairs. The Guardianship and Money Management Program volunteers visit and improve the quality of life of elder citizens who can no longer make safe, appropriate decisions for themselves. Volunteers visit twice a month to provide social contact and help prevent abuse, neglect and exploitation.

Rules:

  1. Your quilt must represent a full-sized quilt. It need not be made to scale, but it must be scaled down.
  2. Maximum size for a finished miniature quilt will be 25" square (no one side of a quilt can be larger than 25").
  3. Interior blocks can be no larger than 4". Please note that exceptions are made for original designs, wholecloth, art quilts and medallion quilts.
  4. Fusible products will be accepted, but only with traditionally recognized finishing techniques, such as edges turned under or covered by stitching.
  5. No outlining with fabric paints or pen stitching to simulate stitches.
  6. A sleeve must be sewn to the top of the back of the quilt. The finished sleeve must be 2.5" wide by the width of the quilt.
  7. Attach a 2" x 3" muslin label to the lower corner on the back side of the quilt. Include your name, year made, name of quilt and any other appropriate information. Information should be stitched or written with a pigma permanent pen.
  8. Deadline for receipt of quilts is the Board Meeting on February 26, 2009.
  9. An entry form must accompany each submitted quilt. Please include as much information about your quilt as possible, to give the auctioneer “selling points” to use during the sale of your quilt. Feel free to attach an additional sheet of paper if needed.
  10. You do not have to be a member of the Quilter’s Guild of Dallas to donate a miniature to the Miniature Quilt Auction.

We look forward to seeing you at the auction!
