SECURITY

North Star Quilters Guild and the Alerus Center are not responsible for any damage, loss, or theft. Check your homeowner’s or renter’s insurance for coverage. Keep a photo and a description to substantiate any possible claim. During show hours guild members will patrol the display area, and security is provided by the Alerus Center. After hours, the Alerus Center and Quilt Show Exhibit Area are locked.

QUILT DISPLAY AND JUDGING

All judged entries must be quilted. This means they must have at least three layers, held together by stitching. The only exception will be items in the special technique category and youth quilts; refer to category descriptions for details. Other items may be displayed in the non-judged category.

The North Star Quilters Guild reserves the right to refuse quilts that are not clean, smell of smoke, are covered with pet hair, or are otherwise not suitable for display. If your quilt is not accepted due to these reasons, your entry fee will be refunded. Please look your quilt over carefully prior to quilt take in.

Entries exhibited for judging in previous North Star Quilters Guild quilt shows will not be accepted. The North Star Quilters Guild reserves the right to place quilts in a more appropriate category or to consolidate categories if there are insufficient entries in a single category. All judge’s decisions are final.

QUILT RETURN

Quilts must be picked up between 5:30 pm–6:30 pm on Saturday, October 28, at the Alerus Center. You MUST have your quilt claim tickets.
(Your quilt will be shipped if you indicated that on your quilt entry form.)
