Bear Necessities
Sponsored by The Fabric Garden
Charmin. A gooey bakery treat. A metal contraption. A song. So what do these items have to do with the 2011 show? They are all examples of “Bear Necessities,” the special challenge exhibit celebrating the Maine black bear. How will you interpret the theme?
There are no size restrictions; all quilting and embellishment techniques are acceptable. A special pin will be awarded to each person entering an item. Limit one entry per person.
Use the Quilt Entry Form  to submit your entry. Please read the complete entry information.
