2025 Great Alaskan Quilt Show
What: ALCQ annual quilt show
When: September 13 & 14, set up on Friday, September 12 at 4:pm
Time: Show will be open to the public from 10am to 4pm on both Saturday and Sunday
Where: ConocoPhillips Atrium (curtesy of JL Properties, Inc) 700 G St.
Entry Quilts: the entry form has been distributed via email, newsletter, and at meetings. Entry forms are due August 21 (3rd Thursday). There have been changes made from prior years so read the form carefully when checking the category for your quilt. There are a lot of activities that committee members have to accomplish after the deadline in order to have a successful show. Please make a concerted effort to turn your entry forms in as early as possible prior to the deadline. Contact Chris Matiukas with questions on the entry form.
Raffle Quilt: ticket are $3.00/each. Ticket stubs HAVE to be turned in to Robin before or at the show. Robin Hanson will have ticket books, etc, at meetings or contact her to make arrangements to get tickets. The raffle quilt is one of our main fundraisers that support our education and community activities so it’s important that we all participate in selling tickets. The quilt this year is a real stunner and tickets should sell well.
Small Quilt Auction: the form for submitting a small quilt for the auction has been distributed via email and newsletter. The auction is our other main fundraiser that supports our education and community activities. Auction quilts are due on or before August 31, 2025. Contact Mary Hacker with questions.
Small Groups: Although the location has hosted the quilt show before, the layout of the atrium has changed so additional information on the needs of the small groups is necessary. Small groups wanting to have a place in the show need to contact Katy or Peg with this information:
- Group
- Contact
- Do you need a quilt frame?
- How big of a table is needed?
- Is electricity needed?
- How many chairs are needed?
Volunteer: The show wouldn’t be successful without all the volunteers from prior to the show to when it’s taken down and the frames are back in the storage unit. Volunteers are critical the weekend of the show. We need members to step up and commit to working as a greeter and/or a white glove hostess on the show floor. There are also opportunities to volunteer at the member, raffle, and information tables, etc. If you’re not able to physically stand for longer than an hour, volunteering at one of these tables might be a good option for you to be a part of the show. Times for volunteering are set up so you’re only committing for an hour at a time. Contact Marilyn Moreno if you have questions.
Spread the Word: if you’re on Facebook, “like” the ALCQ page and on your wall share all the show news that will be posted. If you do other social media share the date and times of the quilt show. When posters and bookmarks are available, pass them out to family, friends, and strangers.
Co-chairs Katy Neher and Peg Brewer
