I looked at your profile, Tammy, and I second your guild's encouragement. Cooked My Goose is gorgeous and rivaled anything I've seen at shows. What I don't know is how to go about entering but being TQS you are bound to get loads of info. Gloria

It has been very strongly suggested by some of my fellow guild members that I try to put a quilt or two in a national quilt show. Have any of you done this? Do you have any tips or suggestions? I'm not even sure where to start.
I've entered a couple quilts in local shows and done surprisingly well, I just don't feel I 'stack up' to so many of the show quilters. The one lady in guild actually has a quilt in the AQS museum and has taught some classes at Paducah. She very strongly recommended I get started on the show circuit somewhere.
So, how do you get started? Are there special rules you need to follow? What is the best way to pack and ship quilts? How much insurance do you put on them? I'm sure there will be lots more questions, but that's all for now.
Thanks so much!
Tammy
