We had quite a few people sign up at the April meetings in person, and we still have openings in most committees!

Everything that goes into Georgia Celebrates Quilts, from Quilt Drop-Off to Take Down relies on ECQG Volunteers! Only six committees are filled - so you have lots of times and areas to choose from!

If you're new to the quilt show, or if you'd like to try a different area this year, here's a Volunteer Summary of all the shifts that are needed during Show Week.

Please check that your signups don't overlap. SignUp Genius doesn't alert you if your shifts conflict - Quilters are smarter than SignUp Genius! Using this Volunteer Worksheet helps you prevent confusion.

You do not need a SignUp Genius Account to sign up. Quilt Show signups are only for guild members. 

If you've convinced a family member to help us during Set Up, Quilt Hanging or Take Down, please contact Mary Duncan, our show volunteer coordinator.

QUICK UPDATE We filled 29 shifts from the signups at this week's meetings. The fancy graphics will be back in the May 10th QS Insider. We'll be looking much better!

Quilt Store Links

When visitors come to our show, we offer a room full of quilts and quilted items ready to take home! There are two ways to offer your work for sale in the Quilt Store.

1. Donate a quilt or quilted item for sale. All proceeds go to the Guild.
2. Sell a quilt or quilted item on consignment. If your show quilt is for sale, the transaction will be handled in the Quilt Store.
3. All items must have either a commission contract or donation form attached to the item when it is delivered to the Civic Center. Quilts do not need a hanging sleeve.

Both forms are in the Members Area on the ECQG Website. You need to sign in with your password to follow these links:

For donated quilts of all sizes and sewn items use this form - Donation Form

For Commission Quilts in the Quilt Store, use this form - Commission Form

Some ideas for quilted items:

• Sets of placemats or bowl cozies,
• Quilted bags or clothing
• Quilted pillows
• Wall hangings
• Table runners
• Other items that would sell for at least $20
