1. The quilt must speak to the idea of women being able to vote, or that they cannot be denied that
right.

3. Embellishments are welcome but not required.
4. All quilts must be made entirely by the entrant.
5. A card with the name of the quilt must be pinned to the lower front right hand corner. The quilt-maker’s name must be on the back of the quilt, covered with a piece of paper.
6. Quilts must be brought to the June meeting in a brown bag and will be voted on at the June and July meetings.
