Quilt on a Stick
Welcome to our 5th Buttermilk Basin’s Annual "Quilt-on-a-Stick" contest! What inspired this, you may ask??? Well, if you don't know… my family & I are avid fair goers! We just happened to grow celebrating Minnesota's best County Fair in Roseau! This was the BIGGEST event of the summer! My great grandma Lily & I would sit on the porch and watch for the fair trucks to come to town!!! It was SOOO exciting! As I got older, I became very active in 4-H and earned many grand & reserve awards at the fair. Winning those awards also earned me yearly trips down {7 hour plus drive} to the Minnesota State Fair! This tradition started in 5th grade and is still going strong!
At our MN State Fair, like many other fairs…. everything is better on a stick! The "stick" concept is so popular, that they even created a "Quilt-on-a-Stick" category to exhibit in at the fair! I fell in LOVE with the small quilts on a paint stir stick one year and knew we had to enjoy & celebrate this grand time of year, with our own "Quilt-on-a-Stick" contest! I am so excited to give some pretty hefty awards in the form of Buttermilk Basin gift certificates… to 1st, 2nd & 3rd places! The top prize is $150.00, followed by $100.00 & $50.00. We are also picking 1 “LUCKY” Winner from the non-winners and sending them a $50 Gift Certificate too! WIN or LOOSE each participant will receive an EXCLUSIVE BB themed “FAIR” SWAG Bag! If nothing else, some FUN Basin Swag is worth entering the contest alone!
All quilts need to be received by or on AUGUST 20th, 2021! We will display them all at our “End of Summer FAIR” event at the shop {which will be open to the public} and everyone can vote for their FAV quilts during that time! Awards will be given out shortly thereafter. We hope each of you will get creative {feel free to use our patterns too!} & enter your quilt in our awesome contest!!! The theme is FAIR, the size is 8 X 9 inches and it must include wool somewhere on the quilt!!! We are SOOO excited! We CAN'T wait to see your quilts & post about the quilts as the event draws near!
