International Quilt Day, and a Contest


AccuQuilt - Barn Quilt Design Contest - Enter Now!

So, I've made a few quilts in my day, but nothing spectacular.  However, I know that many of you are quite skilled in the quilting department.  I just had to share the news about the Barn Quilt Design Contest that Accuquilt is hosting.  There are going to be some fantastic prizes.  Prizes?  Did I perk your interest?  As far as prizes go, how about a a $1,000 shopping spree and trip to Omaha NE for the winning design unveiling?  The runner up will be winning a $250 shopping spree.
