Juried Opportunities


Every year The National Quilt Museum juries themed exhibits for quilters to enter. These are not contests and do not offer awards. Chosen quilts will be exhibited at the museum and possibly other venues.

Quilts of the Appalachian East

Quilts of the Appalachian East

The National Quilt Museum invites your guild to submit quilts to represent your group in a special juried regional exhibit called Quilts of the Appalachian East . We are inviting current guild members in a region comprised of Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia to submit quilts that represent their best work. We would like to have two images of each quilt by October 3, 2011, for the jury to select from for the exhibition. We encourage you on behalf of your guild to select representative quilts that are original designs or adaptations of a traditional design.

Quilts of the Appalachian East will highlight the work of quiltmakers who are the mainstream of quiltmaking today, and will open here at the National Quilt Museum the spring of 2012. The jury will select approximately 18 quilts. Notification of acceptance into the exhibition will be by November 1, 2011.
