Entry Form

Carthage Main Street, the Panola Squares Quilt Club, and the Busy Quilters Guild of Panola County are proud to announce that we will be hosting the "Piney Woods Quilt Festival" at the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame, April 18 and 19, 2008. This event is a showcase for the work done by the quilt clubs of Carthage and the services we provide. In addition to classes and supportive instruction to new and experienced quilters, both clubs contribute to various charities including Project Linus, Brides Against Breast Cancer and Go-Texan Scholarships.

Without our sponsors, we would not be able to provide such a wonderful presentation of the talent in our area. In addition to the following sponsorships, any other donations will be helpful and appreciated.

GOLD SPONSOR($250) - provides materials needed for display and prizes for first place winners--includes name recognition in the newspaper and radio, in all printed publications, and on signage during event.
SILVER SPONSOR($125) - similar to Gold Sponsor, except it is shared with another sponsor--includes recognition in all printed publications and signage.
BRONZE SPONSOR($75) - helps to pay for awards or quilt display materials--includes name recognition on the program, fliers and announcements.

The 2008 event will feature a display of quilts produced locally as well as contributed entries from the surrounding area. A select group of vendors will exhibit and offer merchandise for sale. A panel of independent judges will select three notable quilts in each category for recognition, as well as awards for "Best in Show" and "Viewers' Choices."

We hope to make this the best show yet. We have extensive plans for advertising the festival and features of the city of Carthage through our membership in the statewide guild and other media. If you would like to participate in sponsorship, please contact Mary Lu Davis, President Panola Squares Quilt Club, at 903 693-3669, or Debbie Pierce, Carthage Main Street Manager at 903 693-3868.
