Participants are divided by category and age group for evaluation. The evaluation of the Quilt Show is based on the overall appearance and expression of personal style. Quilts are evaluated on a display rack with the youth present. Each participant briefly tells the evaluators about the quilt, how it was made, and some of the challenges. Participants should be prepared to answer questions from the evaluators. The evaluators will review the entry information, documents, and photographs. Evaluating is closed to the public. The commentary is not read during the evaluation. It is read only during the Quilt Show for public viewing.

You can find the Quilt Show Rubric at: Glenn County 4-H Quilt Show Scorecard 2024

 

Awards By Individual Achievement:

Gold Medal: A gold is given to those entries or members who, most nearly, meet the standards established for the particular class or level of performance. Excellent indicates a high degree of achievement toward the elements in the standards for the exhibit.

Blue Medal: The second or blue grouping indicates those exhibits or individuals who rank very good in relation to the particular standards or expected achievement of the class or contest. Either the general level of the accomplishment is less than excellent or enough specific shortcomings are found to cause the placing to drop from excellent to very good.

Red Certificate: The red grouping contains those exhibits or individuals who, upon evaluation, rate average, acceptable, or satisfactory for the standards established. These exhibits have room for improvement.

 White Certificate: May be given if exhibits or individuals who, for one reason or another, fail to produce that level of achievement that can be reasonably expected in relation to the specific class or performance in which they are entered.

 

Awards By Age Division:

 Junior Division

The top-scoring individual in the Junior Division will receive a gold medal and medallion.

Intermediate Division

The top-scoring individual in the Intermediate Division will receive a gold medal and medallion.

Senior Division

The top-scoring individual in the Senior Division will receive a gold medal and medallion.

Top Overall Award

The individual with the highest score out of the judged quilting divisions (Junior, Intermediate, and Senior) will receive a sewing machine or prize valued at $200.

 

What is a Commentary?

The commentary is a write-up about the project that you created. It will be read when you present your quilt during the Quilt Show. Please provide the information about both the participant and the quilt. Commentary will be read and may be edited by the committee. For more helpful information, please use the Commentary Information and Guide at: 2024 Glenn County 4-H Quilt Show Commentary Information and Guide .

Ideas on Developing Commentary:

• Give information about the participant and their interests, such as where he or she is from, other 4-H projects, years in 4-H, future plans, summer job, etc.
• Give inspiration for or the reason for which the quilt was planned. This could be the theme for the commentary.
• Keep sentences short and easy to read.
• Use questions and exclamations to give more variety to tone of voice.
• Create an appealing mental picture with descriptive words.
• Avoid the obvious or make it more interesting.
• Tell the biggest challenge you encountered in sewing the quilt or what new sewing technique you learned.
• Add some humor, something amusing that happened while sewing. Example: In her rush to finish the quilt, Sara put the material inside out on the border at first.
• Read descriptions of quilting magazines to get more ideas that are fun.
• As you complete your commentary, read it aloud. Does it flow smoothly? Is it easy to read and say?
• Please proofread before submitting.

Sample Commentary:

Sara Ann is a fifth-year Happy 4-H member, and this is her second year in the quilting project. Sara chose a Tossed Nine Patch design for her quilt. She used recycled jeans in her design and kept the same fabric choices as the quilted pillow she made for last year’s quilt project. One of the most challenging aspects of this quilt was that she needed to increase the pattern size from five-inch blocks to seven-inch blocks to accommodate the pockets of the recycled jeans she wanted to have in her quilt. Success prevailed and she has a fun, brightly colored, hand-made quilted ensemble for her bedroom. What a beautiful quilt, Sara!

 

The Pictures/Patterns Form:

The picture and pattern form can be found at  Glenn County 4-H Quilt Show Patterns and Pictures Form 2023-2024 , and can be uploaded to the 2024 Quilt Show Survey, turned in to the UCCE Office, or emailed to glenncounty4h@ucanr.edu, by Monday, April 15, 2024.

Glenn County 4-H Fashion Revue Commentary Worksheet 2019

 

Sample Commentary

"It's the 4th of July for Mary Smith every time she wears this patriotic suit and she has a right to celebrate! The jaunty jacket sports shiny star buttons on the bright red wool. What a great idea! The scraps from that jacket turn into patch pockets on the military blue dress. Mary has had 6 years of 4-H sewing and foods projects, but always finds a new challenge. She made this suit during a thunderstorm, finishing just before the electricity went off. Can you imagine how great this outfit will be at Davis, where Mary will be a freshman this fall?"

Commentary Ideas

• Give information about the member and his/ her interests, such as where he or she is from, other 4-H projects, years in 4-H, future plans, summer job, etc.
• Give inspiration for, reason, or occasion for which outfit was planned. This could be the theme for the commentary.
• Keep sentences short and easy to read.
• Use questions and exclamations to give more variety to tone of voice.
• Create an appealing mental picture with descriptive words.
• Avoid the obvious or make it more interesting. (Rather than "it buttons up the front", say "buttons brighten the front", etc.)
• Tell the biggest challenge you encountered in sewing the outfit; what new sewing technique you learned.
• Add some humor, something amusing that happened while sewing. Example: In her rush to finish the dress, Katie put the zipper in upside down.
• If there are two parts to your outfit, such as a coat and a dress, mention the outer layer first and then the under garment)
• Read description of clothes in fashion magazines to get more fun ideas.
• As you complete your commentary, read it aloud. Does it flow smoothly? Is it easy to read and say?
• Please proof read before submitting.

Clothing Categories and Details for 2019

Youth may enter a maximum of two entries. Entries must be in separate categories. Garments must be made in this current 4-H year, under direction of a 4-H leader. Outfits are evaluated both on stage and up close using the rubrics and evaluation forms provided by the State Fashion Revue Committee. Primary members are not evaluated (they will receive comments only and all will be given the same award).

Receipts from the current 4-H year are required for any item that is visible. Gifts, prior purchases, and items without receipts are not eligible for this category.
