New Quilts of Northern California

About New Quilts of Northern California

New Quilts of Northern California is accepting entries for an exhibit at the Pacific International Quilt Festival (PIQF), held at the Santa Clara Convention Center on October 12-15, 2023. Exhibit entries are limited to residents of Northern California only.  "Northern California" is defined as Monterey, Kings, Tulare and Inyo Counties up to the Oregon/NV borders.
 

Quilts entered in this exhibit may also be entered in the PIQF quilt contest for judging, but a separate entry form for PIQF is required. It can be found online at: http://www.quiltfest.com  or obtained by writing to: Mancuso Show Management, PO Box 667, New Hope, PA 18938


This exhibit will be juried to a maximum of 70 quilts. Medium-sized quilts show the best. Quilts longer than 90 inches will hit the floor. We would like quilts that are new and have not been widely shown – your latest work! No Kit Quilts will be accepted.
