AccuQuilt Second Annual Barn Quilt Design Contest
Unveiling & Stageshow by Eleanor Burns
AccuQuilt prides itself on being active in the quilting community and the second annual Barn Quilt Contest was just another way to display their quilting pride. The contest inspired quilters from all over the U.S. to submit over 600 stunning quilt block designs. For her grand prize design, Candace will receive a $1,000 AccuQuilt shopping spree along with an all expenses paid trip to Fremont, Neb., for her and a guest to attend the June 10, 2011 Barn Quilt Unveiling Event, which included a free presentation by renowned quilter Eleanor Burns, a barbecue lunch and tours of the AccuQuilt facility. Her design is displayed as a 17’ x 17’ block on the AccuQuilt headquarters.
The first place barn quilt design was chosen by a panel of quilting icons: Eleanor Burns, Ricky Tims and Alex Anderson; AccuQuilt management and votes from AccuQuilt fans.
