Baby Boutique
Submissions must be postmarked by March 5, 2011

The Baby Boutique will offer Northwest Quilters a venue to display and sell their work at the 2011 NWQ Show in March. We believe there is a strong demand for quality, custom-made quilts and other unique quilted items for babies. The boutique is your chance to show off your talents while also providing a family with a wonderful keepsake for their baby!

Submission Guidelines:

Only NWQ members may participate.
We are looking for creative, high-quality, hand or machine quilted items for babies. Suggested items may include crib and toddler quilts, bags, bib sets, buntings, child-oriented wall hangings and unique fabric toys.
We will not accept items made from cheater cloth, pre-printed panels, or pre-quilted fabrics, tied items, or knitted or crocheted items.
There will be a non-refundable $5 fee for each item entered for sale, whether or not the item sells.
Each item must be submitted with a registration form which includes a picture and the registration fee. The registration fee and form must be mailed to the Quilt Show Registrar. A copy of the form must also accompany the quilt when taking it to the depot.
Members will price their own items.
Submissions will be turned in to Carol Hull (NWQ's Baby Boutique Depot). Unsold items will also be picked up from her. Items can be picked up either at Carol's home or right after 6 PM the last day of the show at the EXPO.
Checks for the quilts that are sold will be sent within 2 weeks of the end of the show.

Entries must be postmarked by March 5, 2011.

Thank you for your enthusiastic participation in Baby Boutique! We hope to see a booth full of lovely items which showcase our quilters' talent and we hope the Boutique will attract more visitors and recognition for Northwest Quilters!

Artisans Collaborative Booth (ACB)
at Northwest Quilters 37th Annual Show

Are you a member who makes something you would like to sell? Or never had a place to sell it? Do you know someone maybe not a member who creates? Great place to introduce the new "Gotta Have" without the cost and work of your own booth. No limit on price range. Be bold and participate with us. Everyone has been telling you to sell it!!

Cost: Member $25.00 Non Member $50.00 (Pays for cost of space NWQ rents)

Details: Use ACB forms & submit a 2 copy ACB inventory list. 1 copy stays with you, 1 copy stays in the booth.
After ACB booth fee is paid you receive individual ACB product forms to fill out. You keep 1 copy, 1 copy stays with item and 1 copy goes in the register. Items must match inventory list. No exceptions.
Your own display stands are welcome in the booth. Tables and draping are provided. Remember your business cards, flyers and display signs or order forms with complete information for the consumer. Details! Details!
You price your items prior to delivery and everything needs to have a price with your Vendor number on each!
Delivery date to Expo Wed. March 9th or arrangements made with Colleen. See Colleen Kelly-Ginter
Advertising is everything. Packaging can make or break a sale. Pack your products the way that is attractive to you.
ACB works like a co-op. A 2 hour shift is required working in the booth. If this is not possible, finding a responsible business like minded individual works fine; with pre approval to Colleen.
Top shelf baby items of the highest quality go to the Baby Boutique; see Carol Hull.
Donating to the silent auction is still very much appreciated, thank you!
ACB FORMS WILL BE HANDED OUT soon.
No porn or ill slant toward anybody, organization, race or creed.

Oregon Quilt Project

The Oregon Quilt Project will be documenting quilts on Saturday, March 12, 2011, at the quilt show. You must make an appointment in advance by contacting Bill Volckening. The documentation will take 35 minutes. You are allowed 2 quilts per person. The cost is $7.50 for NWQ guild members and $10 for non-members.

The Oregon Quilt Project (OQP) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to documenting, collecting, and preserving information about the quilts and quilt makers of Oregon, past and present. Starting in April 2010, the multi-year, statewide documentation survey will travel to all parts of Oregon, documenting quilts and their stories.

Documentation will be conducted using the methods provided by The Quilt Index, a national online database of quilt information. Each OQP record will include any known history of the quilt, a detailed description of the size, block design, style, fabrics, thread, batting, backing, quilting, etc., and pictures of the whole quilt and detail shots. Information and images will be archived as part of the OQP database and will eventually be included in The Quilt Index.

The OQP is co-chaired by Martha Spark of Roseburg, the new facilitator of the Columbia-Willamette Quilt Study Group and former Collections Manager at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum in Colorado; and Bill Volckening of Portland, a quilt collector of 19th and 20th Century American quilts and a NWQ member who recently gave a program about antique quilts for us.

OQP will document quilts made in Oregon, quilts brought to Oregon, and quilts of any age, condition or style - even unfinished tops - whether made as bed coverings or for display, but it will not include wearable art or other fiber arts.

For information about documenting your quilts or volunteering, please contact Bill Volckening.

Additional information is on the Oregon Quilt Project website: www.oregonquiltproject.org
