Such a great video Ian, there is a whole lot more involved in prepping for a quilt show than I thought. You do awesome work and deserve those ribbons and more. The only drawback to me would mailing it, you put in all that work, YIKES

[@OffKilterCrafterIan]

Glad you enjoyed it! It is for sure a bit nerve wracking putting a quilt into the mail. I get nervous each time.

Thanks for all that information. Quilt shows a few and far between in the U.K. so I’m not realistically going to have one entered. I am critical enough of my own work without someone else critiquing a quilt that I love! 😂 It’s funny but I thought the opposite about binding, I thought quilts entered into shows had to have machine binding on them not hand finished binding! That was a hard lesson you learnt about your quilt being a kit at least you won the online show which was far better in my opinion as you got those fantastic prizes.

[@OffKilterCrafterIan]

Yeah, I think winning online was better.

Watched replay. You did a great job explaining these tips. Thank you for taking the time to do this. Congratulations on winning all the ribbons you have won thus far! You have a true talent. I have a feeling there will be more ribbons in your future.

You said the carpet tape might come loose if it gets too hot. Do you think using a hair dryer could soften the adhesive so it doesnt damage a painted surface, or to remove the tape from the quilt after the show?

[@OffKilterCrafterIan]

Even with a hair dryer I wouldn’t put it on a painted surface because it still might damage it. However, that would be a great way to get it off the quilt after a show.

To submit an entry to a quilt show, you must submit photos of your quilt with the entry form and fee, before your quilt might be accepted. Any tips on photographing a quilt to enter into a quilt show?
