North Texas Quilt Festival 2022
The entry website is now active !! Please enter your quilts now. Entry deadline is June 1st. Guild members will have a protected window to enter a quilt from April 1 to May 1. After May 1 then it will open up to any outside entries but we wanted to give our members a chance first. Everyone can still enter after the May 1st date but it will not be protected and it goes to first come first served.
When you start your entry form there will be a question you must answer as to whether you are an Artisan or a Master. Once you make that choice, you will only be able to see the categories that you can enter correctly. This will hopefully prevent anyone from accidentally entering a quilt in the wrong category.
