Quilt drop-off takes place Saturday the week before the Show.
Quilt pick-up takes place Sunday at the end of the Show.
All quilts must remain on display throughout the Show.
Special Handling
All quilts, except for very small ones and some exceptions as determined at Quilt Drop-Off, MUST be able to be folded while with NSQG.
NSQG has arranged for special handling of any accepted exceptions with sharp embellishments, frames or rods, or quilts that do not fold.
While every effort will be made to ensure the well-being of these quilts, NSQG will not be responsible for the safety of such a quilt.
Be sure to review the information and requirements on the Quilt Registration page.
For further information, contact registrar@northernstarquilters.com

QUILT DROP-OFF Requirements:
Quilts will be inspected at Quilt Drop-Off and will not be accepted if they do not meet these requirements.
NO Quilts Will Be Accepted After Drop-Off Day
NO EXCEPTIONS!
Please Plan Accordingly
– If you will not be able to submit your quilt after all, please let us know as soon as possible to help our display process run smoothly.
– If your exact (to the inch) quilt measurements have changed since registration, please let us know as soon as possible to help our display process run smoothly.
– If you did not send a picture of the complete top with your registration, please do so as soon as possible to help our display process run smoothly.
– A week or so prior to Drop-off, you will be sent relevant drop-off information and your quilt number label(s) to sew on your quilt(s)
– Before coming to Drop-off, the quilt number label must be sewn on the lower right hand corner (as viewed from the back), a hanging sleeve sewn on, and any other personal identification temporarily covered with a sewn on patch (no tape or pins). All quilts must have a temporary name and address label which can be covered by the quilt number label.
– All quilts MUST be able to be folded while with NSQG, except for very small ones. If any quilt is determined at Drop-off to exceed our handling capabilities, special arrangements may need to be made in order to accept the quilt.
– Quilts must be clean and in excellent show-ready condition. Pet hair, smoke, or strong odors that might be transferred to someone else’s quilt will disqualify an entry.
– A Quilt Claim Card, required to reclaim your quilt, will be given to you when your quilt is accepted. Do not lose it!
– If you are not able to bring your quilt to the scheduled Drop-off, please make arrangements with another guild member to do it for you or contact the Drop-off Coordinator beforehand!
QUILT PICK-UP Procedure:
For the safety and protection of all quilts, you must present your signed Quilt Claim Card before your quilt will be returned to you. If someone else is picking up your quilt, you must sign your Quilt Claim Card and that person must hand it in.

DO NOT LEAVE WITHOUT HANDING IN YOUR CLAIM CARD(s)!
While every effort will be made to start the pick-up process as early as possible, we can only guarantee that quilt distribution will begin at 5:00pm. Please check in at 4:30pm on Sunday to receive a pick-up number. Quilt return will end at 6:00pm.
