A Little Friendly Competition
BGF Barn Quilt Contest
Blue Gate Farm (via Leo Beebout Construction) has been building a new barn/packing shed this season. It is a fairly large; two-story structure with a lovely peak expanse of light tan siding that is visible when you turn into the farm lane. We thought what a perfect place to highlight a barn quilt. We’ve looked around a bit, but haven’t found any design that speaks to us. Then we thought, we know a lot of creative people, maybe one of them would have the perfect idea, so here’s the challenge…
The Timeline:
Contest starts August 1, 2011 and submissions are due by August 21, 2011.
Winner will be announced September 1, 2011
The Goal:
To find/create a design to be realized (by BGF) in a painted 4-foot square wooden panel on the BGF barn
The Prize:
A basket of Blue Gate Farm products AND the realization of your design BGF barn, to be featured at Blue Gate Farm for the 2011 Farm Crawl on Sunday, October 2.
The Considerations:
Anyone can enter (though gift basket is only deliverable within the continental US)
