Annual Needlework Show InformationThe Needle Arts Guild of Toledo hosts an Annual Needlework Show. Entries are accepted from any needleworker, not just guild members. You don't need to be a member of NAGT or The Embroirderers' Guild of America, Inc. to enter our show. The results of our 45th Annual Needlework Show are now available on our Past Results page. Information about our next show will be posted here as it becomes available. About The ShowThe exhibit is FREE and open to the public. Guild members will be present at the exhibit during all show hours. Please view our list of Past Results to get an idea of the number of entries and types of needlework you'll see. Various needleworking techniques will be demonstrated during the show. About Our DisplayFramed items will be displayed on our cloth-backed display stands. We have also built custom
slanted cushions to display beadwork and other small items. Each item is listed in our
Show Catalog along with its title, category, the entrant’s name and a brief description of the piece.
Each item on display is also accompanied by a display card. About Our Judging CriteriaThe following is a list of the judging criteria that will be used and their total points for each.
The judge will award up to 40 points to each piece.
You may follow the link for each topic to an article on evaluating your embroidery
that first appeared in our newsletter discussing the subject in depth.
Entry EligibilityAll entries must be finished pieces from one of the categories of threaded needle
techniques. Pieces may not have been entered in any previous Needle Arts Guild of
Toledo Show. Categories may be reassigned by the show committee or the judge
if appropriate based on the piece. All shipment costs must be paid for by the entrant. The Needle Arts Guild of Toledo assumes no responsibility for pieces damaged during transit. TriathlonIn addition to the regular Best in Show, Judge’s Choice, Guild Choice and Popular Choice awards, there will be a Triathlon award. This award will be for the entrant with the best average score in at least three categories, regardless of classification. Entrants may enter as many items as they wish in each category. The item with the highest score in each category will count towards the Triathlon score, which is the average of the entrant’s three category scores. Only the top three scores are used if more than three categories are entered. First Timers AwardIn 2013, we added this new award to encourage new stitchers to enter our show. The highest scoring entry from a stitcher entering our show for the first time will receive this award. Legacy AwardOver the years, we have lost several members. We have chosen to honor their memory with the Legacy Award. This award will be given by our judge to the piece that best shows creativity in an original or adapted design.
