In support of St. Peter’s Anglican Church,
10030 Peggy’s Cove Rd, Hackett’s Cove
Calling all quilters! Here’s your chance to share your creativity…
We are looking for submissions for our 3rd quilt show and sale to be held in St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Hackett’s Cove. This year, we’ve joined up with the Peggy’s Cove Area Festival of the Arts Studio Tour which takes place from July 5th to the 7th. We’re hoping with the added exposure and advertising that will come from the larger event that even more folks will be passing by and stopping in!
This is a non-juried event, open to all skill levels and is inclusive of all genres and quilting styles.
-Quilts may be any size, hand or machine pieced/quilted. Small items will also be accepted, like runners, bags and placemats. We ask that quilts that were displayed in previous years NOT be entered again.
-Quilts, double to king, must have 4×6 colour photo attached to entry form that shows the entire quilt.
-Quilts do not have to be for sale, it’s up to you… for show only is fine too.
-10% of the cost of any item sold will be withheld as a donation to St. Peter’s Church.
-Terms of Sale: cash or credit. Credit card services will be available, but be aware that you are responsible for the associated service fees which will be deducted from the sale. For your protection, personal cheques will not be accepted.
-Be assured we will handle and care for your pieces like they were our own, but please note that quilts are displayed at your own risk. A waiver must be signed by each participant displaying their work that releases the event organizers and St Peter’s Church of any liability for any damage, or theft, that may occur.
Items can be dropped off at the Church on Wednesday, July 3rd from 1 to 5pm.
Quilts must be picked up at the Church on Sunday, July 7th from 5 to 7pm.
*If these times do not work for you, please contact us to make alternate arrangements.
