You may enter as many categories as you wish, but space at the Center’s gallery will determine how many of your entries will be hung. Viewers’ Choice Ribbons will be awarded for first, second, third, and honorable mention in each category.

1. Entrants must be current MLQG members as of the June 2022 meeting.
2. Entry must be exclusively the member’s own work except for professional machine or hand quilting.
3. Entry must have been completed since October 2018, and cannot have hung in a previous Gmeiner exhibit. It must be clean and in good condition.
