- All entries (except garments & pillows) need a hanging sleeve (yes, even miniatures and table runners). If you are unsure ASK.
- Hanging sleeves must be sewn on – no pins, not even safety pins!
- Quilts need a 4-inch hanging sleeve (see page 10 in your membership directory for instructions.
- Entries must be clean and odor-free. Please do a quick once over with a lint roller to remove pet hair.

Set-up is on Thursday, July 30 @ Newport Rec Center.
- Gym is open for set up at 7 AM.
- Potluck for workers is noon-ish.
- EVERYONE please contribute if you are able. Those setting up the show will have been working since 7 am (or before) and are hungry.
- Bring your dish to the Rec Center kitchen by 11 am. There is a refrigerator available for keeping cold things cold; an oven for keeping hot things warm.
- Be sure to label your dishes and to pick them up by 3 pm – or use a disposable container!
Show days: Remember to show up about 15 minutes early for your shifts. Also remember that if you are working (judging, set-up, or at the show itself) OCQG may shop the boutique on Thursday morning from 8-9 before the show opens to the public.
Outtake will be inside the small gym rather than in the hallway as in previous years.
- If you are “on the list” as helper for outtake, please wait in the hall. The list is full.
- Quilts will be ready for pickup as soon as all quilts are taken down and accounted for; likely between 4:30-5.
- ALL quilts must be picked up the day of the show.
- If you personally are not able to pick up your quilt, please designate on your insurance waiver form WHO is authorized to pick up your items.

Help for the Guild Activities Table
We are getting close to showtime! We really need at least one person for the Membership/Guild Activities spot for Friday, July 31, from 2:45-5:00 PM. It is an easy job to let people know how great guild membership can be. All the descriptions you need will be there. We just need your smiling face to complete the day!
Membership/Guild Activities (seated) ● Explain our activities (examples will be on display). ● Let folks know why we love being members. ● Pass out membership applications if requested.
