AccuQuilt is unveiling their new barn quilt this Tuesday, July 20, 2010 at 11am at the AccuQuilt Headquarters in Fremont, NE.
It is a huge 17' x 17' block that was the winning entry from AccuQuilt's recent block design contest. It may possibly be the largest barn quilt IN THE WORLD.
If you'd like to attend the address is 1035 e. Dodge Street, just 25 minutes east of Omaha.
Say hello to the winner, Linda Erickson of Sierra Vista, Ariz., who will receive a $1,000 AccuQuilt shopping spree along with her all expenses paid trip for two to AccuQuilt to see the unveiling of her creation. Mary Johnson of Minneapolis, Minn. will also have her second place quilt block displayed on the offices and receive a $500 gift certificate. Jane Rodgers of Fitzgerald, Ga., earned a $150 AccuQuilt gift certificate for her third place.
The Barn Quilt Contest was inspired by the work of Donna Sue Groves of Adams County, Ohio. Donna Sue began the modern American barn quilt movement in 2001 when she painted a colorful quilt block on her barn as a way to honor her mother’s love of quilting. Hang around and you'll be hearing more about Donna Sue tomorrow.
