• Exhibiting sellers are not required to attend the exhibition in person. Etsy will manage curation (set up and take down) and ‘man’ the exhibition.
• Exhibitors are responsible for arranging delivery and collection of work to/from the exhibition and for dispatching sold work to buyers after the event (Etsy will process sales but work will not be taken by buyers during the show).
If you’re eligible for this opportunity and don’t currently sell on Etsy, you can open a shop in order to apply. Get started with 20 free listings!

Your photography, listing descriptions and About page are particularly important. Check out the Seller Handbook and search our educational articles to help you improve your shop.

The Universe of Quilts is an “open” quilt show allowing both GVQC members and non club members the opportunity to enter their quilts in the show. The show displays the diversity of quilts with categories including traditional applique and pieced, mixed technique, art, wearable, large and small quilts, hand and machine quilted and a special category for youth age 17 and under. Quilts may be offered to the public for sale.
There are two categories for quilt entries, Professionally Judged (open to all interested quilters) and Peer Judged (open to GVQC members only and youth 17 and under). All Professionally Judged quilts require a $10 fee. Professionally Judged quilts will be judged by experienced and National Quilt Association certified judges. Judged quilts will receive a written critique and be eligible for cash prizes and ribbons. Non-judged quilts will only be eligible for ribbons. Quilts must have been completed after January 1, 2010. No quilt may have been exhibited at any prior GVQC quilt show.
There is no limit on the number of quilts you may enter in either category. When the maximum number of quilts allowed for the quilt show is reached, no additional registrations will be taken. All entries will receive constructive written comments from judges.
Fees: All judged quilts require a $10 fee.
