Spring Retreat 2022

Our spring retreat will take place the weekend of March 3-6, 2022 at the FFA Leadership Center in Trafalgar, Indiana. We’ll have the full day Thursday starting at 9am until checkout at 2pm on Sunday. We’ll have the entire Fellowship Hall space to ourselves which sleeps 20. As the space is so large and the location is so close to Indianapolis, this year we are opening up spaces for 5 quilters to attend as single-day retreat-goers on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday in addition to the 20 full weekend slots.

Sign ups will be first come first served therefore we are asking that everyone use the PayPal form below to register. The form is set up to prevent overselling of the available slots for the weekend and each day. If the retreat is sold out when you try to sign up then you’ll be taken to a wait list sign-up form. Attendees for the full retreat can participate in the voluntary Snack Swap activity. After submitting your payment, you’ll be taken to a form to sign up for the Snack Swap—details about that swap are included in the form.

July 2021 IMQG Exhibit at the Garfield Park Arts Center – Submission Requirements

You must be a current member of the Indianapolis Modern Quilt Guild (IMQG) to submit.

Join here.

All quilts submitted must meet the following:

Have three layers (backing, batting, and top) joined together with stitching or tying.
Have a finished binding or facing on the edge of the quilt.
Have a label attached to the back of the quilt identifying the maker.

You must credit all of the people who worked on the design or construction of the quilt, paid or not, excluding basting assistance. Making note of inspiration for the quilt, as applicable, is welcomed.

You will need to sign an artist loan agreement that includes a photographic release and liability waiver.

Additional Information

Your quilt may be any size. Keep in mind that due to the limits of the exhibition space, very large quilts might not be displayed in their entirety (i.e., flat).

Entries may be disqualified if the submission form is not completed correctly and/or accurately.

GPAC reserves the right to refuse to display any quilt submitted for exhibition. IMQG reserves the right to reject any quilts that are in poor condition when received and seen in person. Any quilt that is rejected will be returned to the entrant and will not be displayed in the exhibit.

IMQG does not discriminate against entrants based on race, gender, age, disability, religion, national or ethnic origins, sexual orientation, marital status, or any other vector of oppression. All are welcome, truly.

Submission Fee

There is a $15 submission fee for the first submission and an additional $10 fee for each subsequent submission. An invoice will be emailed to you upon your submission. Alternatively, you can pay via the guild’s PayPal.Me.

Selling Your Quilt

You have the option to offer your quilt for sale at the IMQG show with the understanding that a 20% commission will go to Garfield Park Arts Center (10%) and IMQG (10%). The sale price is determined by you. If you do elect to place your quilt for sale, you cannot retroactively decide not to sell it during the exhibit.

Quilt Shipping

The guild will be collecting accepted quilts at the June monthly meeting and returning them at the August monthly meeting; it is recommended that you are available for both meetings or designate someone to act on your behalf. Any costs associated with shipping the quilt, either to IMQG before the exhibition or to you after the exhibition, will be borne solely by you.
