The FINE PRINT: Quilt entries must be quilted; the work of the person (or persons) entering it; completed within the past five years; not made from a kit or block-of-the-month program (except “Autumn Splendor” by Studio 180 Designs); free of bugs, offensive odor or soil; free of content that could elicit controversy or negative publicity for the Louie Bluie Music & Arts Festival; and not an award winner in a previous Louie Bluie Quilt Show. Show organizers may combine judging categories if one or more categories has only a few entries. Show organizers may split categories into size divisions if there are large number of entries in a category.
Turn in up to four quilts at the Quilt Patch by Tuesday, September 24. Each Qilt entry must include an entry form and fee. The fee is $20 for the first entry, $20 for the second entry, $15 for the third entry, and $15 for the fourth entry. All entry fees help cover the pavilion rental fee for the show. Any additional contributions or sponsorships are greatly appreciated.
Earn Recognition and Awards!
Let your family, friends, neighbors and Louie Blue festival attendees see your quilting artistry and skill! More than 10,000 festival goers in 2023 had the chance to view a record-setting number of quilt entries. This is your prime opportunity to celebrate with the community, and to have people show appreciation for your part in the great quilting traditions of eastern Tennessee.
We’ll award 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbons in multiple categories and a Viewers Choice award for the crowd favorite. The Best of Quilts award-winner will receive a $100 cash prize!
Get Skill-Building Feedback!
Experienced festival and fair judge Mary Dacres of Ohio will serve as this year’s judge. After the show, each entrant will privately receive a detailed scoring sheet that will include helpful comments. This feedback provides what you need to take your quilting hobby to the next level.
