New for 2010, a virtual quilt show each week. Join the fun, show off your wonderful creations and be inspired by what your quilting friends have made.
Each week a new theme will be announced and you can upload a photo and a short story of a quilt you’ve created. Hopefully, there will even be weekly prizes donated by generous sponsors in the quilting industry. Each weekend, visitors to the Quilting Gallery site can vote for their favourite quilt.

How does it work?
- Monday morning there will be a new weekly theme announced along with the fabulous prize (or prizes) up for grabs that week.
- You submit a photo of a quilt you’ve made that follows the weekly theme.
- Quilt photos submitted will be showcased on the blog on Friday morning.
- Voting is done by visitors to the Quilting Gallery site from Friday to Sunday at 11 p.m.
- Only one vote per IP address, so have your friends and family come by to cast a ballot!
- The winner will be announced the following Monday.
How do I enter?
Your quilt/project should represent the weekly theme in some way, either by design or the fabrics chosen. The quilt you enter must be your own creation. It must be something you made yourself, but does not have to be something you personally designed.
When you submit your photo, you will need to know the approximate height and width of the quilt you are entering. (Not the photo size, the actual quilt.) Additionally, you can also enter a short (300 characters) story about the quilt.
One entry per person each week. While you can enter each week, you can only be awarded a prize once every 4 weeks. If you should have the most votes for more than one week within a four week period, the actual prize will be awarded to the person with the next highest votes.
The sponsor may wish to publish the winning quilt on their own blog or in their newsletter.
