Text on Textiles Words as Design in Quilts
International Quilt Festival
Houston, Texas then multiple venues
August 2011 through August 2013
Text on Textiles Words as Design in Quilts is an international juried and judged exhibition of quilts.
Explore the use of text in this contest and exhibition from International Quilt Festival. Entries are quilts that speak to the theme. Any techniques—piecing, appliqué, embroidery, photo transfer, whole cloth and/or manipulated fabric, etc.—may be used as long as they are appropriate for the quilt (consisting of three layers) and the theme. Quilts must be made specifically for the contest and must not have been published in books, calendars, magazines, newsletters, web sites, blogs, or any other form of publication prior to November 2011.
Categories: There is only one overall category.
Limit on entries: Each entrant may submit up to two (2) works that must address the theme. Any materials may be used. However, the final result must be flexible in nature and consist of three layers.
Size of entries: Each work must measure at least 48 inches (122 cm) and no more than 92 inches (234 cm) on each side. Each entry must have a 4in (10 cm) finished sleeve or casing sewn to the top back edge of the quilt (please include a .25 in/.635 cm ease in the sleeve or casing). Sleeves should be secured with stitching at the top and bottom edge. A cloth label with the entrant’s name, address, telephone number, and e-mail must be securely sewn to the back of the quilt, bottom left side.
Jury: A qualified jury will select the finalist works. The jury’s decision is final. Upon viewing the final quilts, the organizers reserve the right to decide which quilts will be included in the exhibition. The organizers reserve the right to refuse any work that does not match the digital photos submitted to the jury.
Judge: A qualified judge will select the first and runner-up prize winners. The judges’ decision is final.
ENTERING THE EXHIBITION

Limit two (2) entries per person or group. Full-time employees of Quilts, Inc. are not eligible.
Length of exhibit: The participating works must be available for two years, from August 2011 through August 2013. Quilts will be returned to entrants in September 2013.
