Quilt Festival Registration Instructions

Review All Festival Guidelines

  1. DECIDE if you will be able to volunteer two (2) hours so that you can pay the decreased registration cost. The cost to register four (4) or fewer quilts is $10 ($11 PayPal) with two (2) volunteer hours or $20 ($22 PayPal) without volunteering. You may have someone volunteer for you.

  2. SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER
    If you are planning to pay the half registration fee ($10/$11), you must go to our Volunteer Sign-up Genius form to volunteer or have a colleague/friend sign up on your behalf for two (2) hours. On the quilt registration form, you will be asked to tell us your volunteer time slot OR indicate you are paying the higher registration fee. 

  3. COMPLETE AND SUBMIT THE QUILT ENTRY FORM
    Up to four (4) quilts can be entered on one form.  Once you click "SUBMIT" at the end of the form, you will receive a copy of your responses. If you do not receive an email confirmation, then you may not have pushed the "submit" button. If you would like to submit more than 4 quilts, you'll need to complete the form twice and pay two registration fees. When entering more than one quilt, please fill in all the boxes for each quilt.  Registration Form Link

  4. PAY THE REGISTRATION FEE separately. Once you have submitted the quilt entry form AND paid your registration fee you are fully registered! Congratulations! Unfortunately, we can not refund your registration fee if you need to cancel.

    • You may pay on PayPal or via check.  ​

    • To pay by check:  Mail check (payable to BIMQG) for the correct amount ($10 or $20 depending on volunteering status) to Clare Brooks, 2418 Seringa Ave.  Bremerton, WA 98310​​
