***The Quilt Festival is now closed and no longer accepting new links***
Welcome to the first online Quilt Festival! I'm so glad you are here! Get a cup of coffee or tea and stay a while. There's lots to see and many places to visit. I look forward to getting to know all of you a little better this week!
First, I need to thank our generous sponsors - I emailed each of them this week and they have been enthusiastic to get involved. Thank You! Without your support this event would not be nearly as exciting! The sponsors are all listed on my right sidebar and I have a list of offerings a little later in this post. Be sure to do some shopping while blog hopping :)
----------------------------------------------
Here's how you get involved -
- Select your favorite quilt, make sure you have a good picture of it and go post about it! It doesn't matter what size, style, or era it is from - there's no judging here :) In your post tell your quilt's story. Also be sure to link back here so your readers can join in the fun too! Everyone is welcome - international readers that's you too!
- Once you have posted on your blog come back here with your link to that post - I'm hoping that this list can be a reference and future source of inspiration for many, long after this week is over.
- Insert your name and url in the Mr Linky.
- Leave me a comment to be entered in the giveaways.
- Now go check out all the other links! Leave encouraging comments wherever you land, enjoy making new friends and be INSPIRED :)
Quilt Festival Participants Powered by... Mister Linky's Magical Widgets.
My friend Jennie offered to set up a Flickr group for the event as well! Visit us here to add to the gallery of quilts, and find links to our sponsors - Thanks Jennie! - Edited to add : I've had a repeated question and thought I should answer it here for everyone -
- If your link happens to be incorrect - Find the smiley face next to your name/link and click on it, follow the instructions to delete your link and then post again, with your correct link.

----------------------------------------------
Just in case you are like me and love chocolate with your quilting -- here's my all time favorite brownie recipe. (Don't let the bites part throw you off - the recipe makes a 9x13, oh, and the espresso powder is optional, I've never used it)
I hope you have a fabulous time at the Quilt Festival ~

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 528 Newer› Newest»I’ve posted about my favourite quilt. Linked etc.
Thanks for organizing!! Will be back to see all the links to other bloggers and will upload my photos to the flickr group later today!
Thanks for this fun event.
favorite prize: the Woodland Bloom fat quarters
What a fun idea! I posted one link, but there are actually three related blog posts:
1. http://auntspicy.blogspot.com/2008/05/heirloom-part-i.html
2. http://auntspicy.blogspot.com/2008/05/heirloom-part-ii.html
3. http://auntspicy.blogspot.com/2008/05/heirloom-part-iii.html
The posts are older, but about my grandmother and other relatives unfinished quilts...which mean more to me than anything I have made.
Favorite Prize, fabric of course! But I would love to try Tanya Whalens Darla collection!
Hi Amy, Thanks for organizing the Bloggers Quilt Festival. I have added my post of my favorite quilt and have added my link. I am enjoying checking out other blogs and their fav. quilts! Thanks again! Rita
This is totally awesome!! I'm sooo excited!
Thank you for setting this all up!
I have no preference on prizes....they are all wonderful!
Thank you sponsors!!!
Kritta22
Thanks so much for organising.
I'm looking forward to visiting all the lovely quilts.
I have added myself as a link but have posted again since.
So, I thought it would be good to change my link to take people to the correct post:
http://patchandi.blogspot.com/2009/04/bloggers-quilt-festival.html
How do I do that?
Andi ;-)
Great idea! I've posted and linked, and am looking forward to seeign all the great quilts!
Cool idea. I just missed out on seeing our national quilt symposium, so this is a good substitute. It's a great way to check out a few more inspirational blogs.
Posted and linked. Will try to access Flickr later.
I think this is a marvellous idea. Thanks for organising it.
Have put it on Facebook and Twitter.
Hi Amy! Thanks for organizing this! Well done! Looking forward to seeing all the quilts, and perusing your blog more as well. Hope this is the first of many Bloggers Quilt Festivals!
Loveley idea, going to make work of it tomorrow!
I've posted today about my favorite quilt. Thanks for hosting this and for offering the great prizes!
this is great! thanks for doing this! :)
This is a great idea. I'm just getting into quilting and I'm excited to see everybody's favorites.
thanks chicka for hosting this.
i added my name & blog to mr. linky
i'm gonna go post my all time fav quilt.
and my fav prize would be the fat quarter shop gift certificate.
:D
Totally cool! I'm gonna play... I've got a blogpost scheduled for tomorrow, so how about I publish mine on the 20th, Monday. And, if you'd like, I'd be happy to donate a prize, too.... how about the pattern of their choice from my website (on of my patterns) plus two fat quarters of my hand-dyed fabric (my choice of fabrics)..... let me know if you 'd like another prize!
The best way to contact me is via my website or my regular e-mail: sarah (at) sarahannsmith (dot) com , eliminated the spaces and inserting the symbols...of course!
What fun, cheers, Sarah
I love this idea! I only have a blog that I use to follow my progress while I train for a triathlon with a charity group, but went ahead and posted my quilt there. What the heck!
Good morning Amy, I've added the link for my post, no favorites, just happy to join in on the fun.
I just posted about my favorite quilt. Now I'm going to go check out everyone's post.
What a great idea Amy! I have posted my quilt and added my name to Mr. Linky.
Thank you, Amy, for creating this wonderful event! Imagine -- a quilt festival with no entry fees, shipping hassles, or fear of losing your quilt! Thank you for the extra effort on your part to make this happen!
Thanks for putting this together. There are some amazing quilts linked above, a little bit scarey to post mine, but I am sure there are some easy level ladies that will enjoy mine! Thanks for getting some amazing sponsors, some of my favorite places to shop!
This is so much fun, seeing everyone's favorite quilts, and hearing the stories behind them! I am having a ball! Thank you for organizing this.
I posted my link. This is a great idea!
Oh fun! Thanks for hosting. I have been wanting to start another quilt, but I need direction and I think I will find it soon! ;)
Have a nice day, Amy!
I just enjoyed my cup of tea while looking at some very lovely quilts! If it's not too late to join...I'd like to do my post tomorrow. Great job and thanks for organizing it. Terrific prizes too!!!
Lot of great sponsors!! Great gifts. Great idea. I will link in awhile. Have to wake up first. LOL
I have never made a quilt (yet anyway)... but I think it's fantastic that you are doing this Amy! HUGS! Do not enter me in the giveaway.. I just wanted to say HI!
Hi Amy,
this is a great idea, there are so many wonderful quilters blogging about their work! It's worthwhile getting as many of them together as possible.
Great job!
Cheers,
Christine

Hi Amy! Thanks for organizing this fun festival! I've just posted my quilt, and now I'm off to look at the others!
Amy, You are phenomenal! Thanks for doing this, I have posted and am looking forward to seeing everyone's quilts. I also posted on the flickr group. Terrific idea for constant inspiration.
What a GREAT idea...I have posted and am off to see all the other quilts!
Such great inspiration here.
This is so much fun! I just posted my favorite quilt: http://parkcitygirl.blogspot.com/2009/04/quilt-festival-spring-2009.html
This is a great idea Amy; I'm too busy to look at the quilt festival this week but hopefully I'll be able to look next week. I'm looking forward to it.
Total success Amy!! Way to go!!
I'll check later for more links.

Hey there - Great idea. I've posted my fav quilt and linked through your site.
Hi Amy, This is really wonderful. I will spend lots of time checking out all the blogs. I love all the prizes too. Would be so excited to get any of them.
Thanks for having this.
Lyn
Thank you again for hosting this great event! I can't wait to start going through the links.
All of the prizes are fabulous! I do not have a favourite.
What a fun idea. Thanks, Amy!
I've posted my favorite quilt and linked to you site.
I don't have a blog, but I do enjoy reading everyone's. Lots of inspiration out there! I will be checking out all the links and maybe find some new inspiration.
This has been so much fun for me! Thanks!
How fun! I can't wait to get started looking around and seeing all the inspiration. The prizes look fabulous, too.
Thanks for organizing. Just posted and linked!
This sounds like fun. I am showing my best and hardest quilt. What and easy quilt show to join. This is also my first "quilt show."
I just linked my site! This is such a great idea - thanks for all your hard work.
I'd be tickled pink to receive any of the prizes :)
Amy, Great idea! You are AWESOME! Have a fabulous weekend!
This is so much fun! I just posted my link. Preferences? $50 from the fat quarter shop would be great! But I will, of course, be happy if I win anything. :)
What a fantastic idea! I am new to blogging, but have been quilting since 1991. My great grandmother was a quilter so i think it is in my genes. Will post some of her pieces soon.
thanks again
What fun what fun! I just posted mine. Thanks for thinking this up.

Oh my goodness...this is such a fantastic idea! I'm so happy I could be a part of this quilt festival. Thanks for organizing this Amy!
-Crystal
Can't wait to see all the quilt. Thanks again! Judy
Thanks for this great idea and taking the time to host! For me any of the gift certificates would be wonderful!!
I'm so excited to be a part of this in my new blogging life!
All the prizes look great -- good job on hunting them down.
This is so great! I am going to get nothing done this week. I'll be looking at all the quilts and dreaming of winning one of those great prizes! I think my favorite is the the Fresh Squeezed Fabrics giveaway. Thanks so much for doing this!! I am SO following you forever!
I hope this works. *S* I don't have a blog, so I linked to a pic on my flickr site. The pic is for the carrier I made for the quilt, and the actual quilt can be found with a couple clicks in that same set.
I can't wait to "walk around" the rest of the quilt show. Thx for doing this.
Thank you, Amy, for providing this platform for me to remember making my favorite quilt, a gift for my baby. Linked and blogged!
WOW!! What a phenomenon you've created! This is a wonderful way to link the art quilters of the world together -- our thanks to you, Amy.
Diane
I love this! I am having fun visiting ... and I posted my own quilt and story. Thanks for hosting!
What a fabulous idea! And great prizes too--can't beat that! Thanks, Amy;

What a great idea! I can not wait to check out all the links!
Thank-you so much for hosting the festival.
I have linked to my blog entry...can't wait to brew some coffee and look at everyone's entries.
I am loving this! Everyone's posts are so inspiring!
Loooving this -- thanks for having it!
This is such a great idea! Thanks so much! Here is a link to the first quilt I made http://lisasquiltingadventures.blogspot.com/2009/02/my-watercolor-adventure.html, but there are more quilts in progress listed also. Boy, it's hard to pick one favorite prize. They are all great! I guess I'd go with the Fat Quarter Shop.
This is great. I posted my quilt and have loved looking through others' (and discovering new blogs). Great giveaway as well!
I've posted my quilt, now I can't wait to go back and check out everyone's quilts. What a fabulous idea!
I'm a newby on the quilting scene, but I hope you like my quilt!!!!
I've posted and linked my favorite quilt! Thanks so much I know what I'll be doing this weekend!
What a fun idea! I added my link, and can't wait to check out all the great quilts (and blogs!) Thanks so much for organizing this.
This is wonderful Amy, I can't wait to view all the other submissions. I always love to share the story of the quilt I made for my grandmother. She is so proud of it. She even took it to church for a showing.
I'm not sure what or where the mr. linky is. So here's my quilt blog post:

Thanks for hosting such a fun event!

This is a great idea! I have only officially finished one quilt, but I have another in sandwich form and one other top done. I just started quilting in January, so I think it's so fun...when I get the chance...since I have a 6 month old son who doesn't let me do it too often anymore!!
Hi Amy:
What a wonderful idea you had to to this "Blogger's Quilt Festival" - thanks for taking the time - I am enjoying looking at all the quilts today with a cup of tea by my side. You can remove #92in Mr. Linky I made a mistake and entered my other blog there :) sorry! Have a great day!
Beth
This is a great idea. I hope I win the fat Quartershop prize. Thanks!

Great idea Amy!!! Posted mine! In the time it took me to write it, the list went from 90 to 97!!! Fantastic!
This is a great idea! I've posted my quilt, I can't wait to visit all the others. Thanks!
I just added my name to Mr. Linky! Thanks so much for hosting this, Amy ... and thanks to the sponsors, too! What a great idea!
Thank you Amy! I enjoyed participating a lot. Great job!
Good times! Every time I come back there are even more people on! WOW!! I"m only about a third the way through!
Thanks for organizing this. It's been fun looking at all the great quilts!
This exhibit is so much fun and so creative! The event has introduced me to so many wonderful artists who I would have otherwise never met. The raffle prizes are the icing on the cake!
Thank you, Linda Zimmerman
Wow--thanks!!!
This is a fun project - I couldn't resist posting my quilt after seeing everyone in my blogroll taking part.
Ehat a great idea. I wasn't going to join at first but then I started looking at all the quilts and thought "What the heck I should post a quilt" and I did. Thanks for the great eye candy for quilters.
I so want and NEED to win...LOL. I will take anything :) and would be uber excited about a $50 gc to fqs
What a fantastic idea, Amy. Thank you so much for organizing this.
What a fabulous and fun Idea! I LOVE it. If you organize this next year you can have a Quilt Gallery of bloggers and a Vendor Bazaar of Etsy shops!
What FUN!
Cheers,
Dionne
I love this idea! I put a post up as soon as I found this to participate. Thank you for thinking of this!
What a wonderful idea! Thanks so much for hosting this event. I've posted my "entry" on my blog and linked back to your site. Now I'm looking forward to seeing all of the other "entries"!
I don't currently have a blog up and running so I can't participate that way. Can I still win a prize? If so, I would love one of the ones where I can pick my own fabric ($50 would be just great). I also like the Woodland Bloom fabric in the first giveaway.
This is such a wonderful idea!! I am so thrilled to be able to participate and look forward to visiting all the other bogs!!
i just posted about the quilt festival and my favorite quilt!! :) thanks for hosting this!! I would sure love to win one of the fabric prizes!! :)
Such a cool idea - thanks!!
What a great idea. I've posted, and if I'm a winner, I'd love the prize from The Twiddletails Store. Thanks.
My post is up! Can't wait to sit and browse the links!
Oh, wow! You really hit on a good idea. I see LOTS of participation. I can see it's going to take of lot of time to check out all these. Thanks for hosting this! What fun.

Hi Amy
What a great idea. I hope I win :-)
And I can't wait to see the all the other quilts
Amy! I'm so proud of you for doing this! It looks like it took a lot of time to put together. How fun :)
Amy - you are so great! What a fantastic idea...guess I know what I'll be doing today :-)
Thanks for organizing all this!
such inspiration! Thanks for setting this up.
What a great oportunity to get to know other quilters´work!
I´ve just given my contribution :)
As far as the price is concerned, The gift certificates from fat quarter shop and pink chalk fabrics would make me very hapy! ;))
Wow, how lovely to see everyone's creativity. If chosen I would love Fresh Squeezed Fabrics offer of a pattern and fabric to make it. I'm always looking for something new to make my daughter.
Yay, yay, yay! I love this! Thank you!
Love all the stories and pictures. What a great way to meet new bloggers! I'd love to win the Fat Quarter shop gift certificate.
Such a wonderful idea! I'm having so much fun seeing all the other quilts and hearing the stories behind them!
Thanks so much, Amy!
Such a nice idea! Thanks for hosting and sharing. I just uploaded my entry. Though my quilt might be a bit too experimental I hope to get comments and to get in touch with many other quilters.
Great idea, Amy. I've enjoyed your blog and all the other quilting and sewing blogs I've been discovering lately. I put my link on today.
Cathie
I put my entry in! I loved seeing the quilts. Everyone does beautiful work.
This is a great idea, I have added my fave quilt too :)
I just heard about this over at Tallgrass Prairie Studio and am so looking forward to checking out everyone's quilts! What a GREAT idea! I'm going to have to figure out which quilt to blog about and link up too :-)
I've posted a link to my blog to show one of my small wall-hangings. I'm enjoyed my armchair stroll through the blog festival. Definately inspirational and I recognise some of the participants from some groups we are on together :)
I just posted my entry and added myself to the list. I'm looking forward to sitting down and checking out everyone's quilts over the next few days! This is just a fabulous idea, Amy-- thank you for organizing it for all of us! :)
This is such a fun idea! I'm excited to be insipired by everyone's quilts!
Amy, this is the best thing that has ever happened to blogland!! Thank you so much for taking on this humungus task.
I'm off to visit sites.
Crispy
I just found you...and I had to do a post. I have been wanting to post about this quilt for sometime, and this inspired me to do so! Thank you!!!
I know I will be spending lots of time here over the next few days....I can hardly wait....such fun....
All of your giveaway items are wonderful...I am wanting to learn to quilt before years end..so any of these would be great to nudge me along!!
Fabulous Idea Amy! Thank you so much for coming up with it.
Great idea, and wonderful inspiration! Thanks for heading this up:) I posted my quilt and linked to you, and did the whole Mr Linky thing ;)
As someone who has loved quilting since back when I was a child and loved playing under the quilt frame while my mom and grandma hand quilted above me, THANK YOU for this wonderful event! I've posted my own favorite quilt as well as the Quilt Festival button on my sidebar. There's no doubt many will enjoy browsing quilts in the days ahead :-)
Blessings,

Hi Amy,
I am linked up to you and look forward to getting a chance later tonight to read everyone's stories. The quilting world seems endless.....
Thanks!

Thank you. What a great idea. We don't even have to leave home for our own quilt show. I posted my favourite quilt that was done for a guild challenge.
Thank you for organizing this! I had such a hard time choosing a favourite and in the end, I'm still not sure. My quilting has changed so much in the last 6 months since I've discovered the online quilt community. I hope you organize this again next year so that I can exhibit a quilt that I'm happier with. I've got several on the go but nothing finished yet! I love to read your blog...
wow, amy. what an amazing success!! thank you for organizing. looks like i have a weekend full of quilt-viewing ahead of me (have a good one yourself!)
I just got the story of my quilt posted. Now I can't wait to go see what everyone else has done -- you came up with a great idea!
Hi,
I think having an online quilt fest is such a great idea. Seeing what others do is so inspiring!
If I am lucky enough to win one of the prizes, fabric would be great.
Fun stuff, Amy. I'm embarassed to admit that I don't have a quilt to share. If I win one of those fabulous prizes, I might be inspired to whip one up though. Thanks for all the fun. I'm linking like crazy!
~Cassie
Fun idea - I had a hard time picking just one quilt to show...
ok, I have posted on my blog my favorite quilt. I will be checking out all the links on your blog. thanks for doing this and to the sponsors! I would like any bright and fancyful fabric cuts. gift certificate would be nice too.

This is such a great idea - I haven't had any finished quilts lately, so I posted to one that I did a while ag that shows my blue finished quilts. I think my favorite is the storybook maze.
Thanks for bringing this wonderful idea to fruition.
I've posted my first grandchild quilt. It holds a special place in my heart.
Hugs
Great idea. I've just posted about my latest quilt - which happens to be my favorite, too.
I'll put the button on my blog later if/when I figure that out.
Thanks so much for setting this up -- what fun!
I rarely ever win prizes, so I would be happy with anything I happened to win.
Now, I can't wait to go and check out all the quilts.
What fun! I surfed in and spent a lot of time already looking at the entries, and will be back visiting the rest.
Thanks for organizing this. I posted a quilt on my blog as well.
Eldrid
Thanks for doing this. I am enjoying looking at all the quilts.
I hope you don't mind the amateurs entering your quilt festival. I entered my secon quilt and it isn't great just meaningful.
I had so much fun posting about my favorite quilt! What a wonderful idea this Bloggers Quilt Festival is!
I'm headed now to visit the other participants!
What a wonderful idea! And what a great way to spend some time! I can't wait to look through all the entries.
=]
What fun! Just posted my favorite and look forward to seeing everyone else's this weekend :)
I have posted my quilt entry and now I will have fun looking at everyone's quilts.

I will post another picture of my favorite quilt - but I needed to stop by and say thank you. I've been viewing the quilts and reading the accompanying stories. I am overwhelmed by the love that is represented by some of these quilts!
Thank you for putting this together.
Thanks for hosting Amy -- I've posted my quilt and holy cow -- I'll be here all weekend looking at quilts!
Thank you Amy...what a great idea..this is fun.
I'll be here all weekend looking at the quilts..
Julia ♥
This should be a lot of fun. I have posted about my favorite, along with a link, although I was not able to make the button work(operator error, no doubt). Thanks for sharing such a great idea...Kathy
What a great idea! I would be happy with any or ALL of the prizes
What a great idea---I just posted probably my favorite quilt and had to go back and put your Quilt festival link in!
It's quirky, and wil probably frighten normal folk....... :)
But I love it!
I have posted about the Festival...check out my favorite quilt! The prizes are all wonderful, thanks for the chance to win and to tell about one of my favorite quilts!
Amy,
This was a great idea. I really enjoyed looking at other quilts. Thanks so much for putting this together.
What a great idea. I linked to an older post (March 3) when I had acutally put up my favorite quilt on my blog. I look forward to looking at the quilts.
This was a great idea!! Thanks for the wonderful adventure through quilt blog land!
Oh, my-look at all the wonderful links to sites I've never visited before.
I need to go grab a Coke and settle in for a night of blog visiting.
Thanks for a brand new list of eye candy-lol.
Thank so much Amy,what a great idea and I love looking at all the quilts!
This is such a great idea and so much fun. I can't wait to look at and read about all the quilt stories. Thanks for doing this :)
What an AWESOME idea! Thanks for doing this!
Hi. It's so awesome that you put this together. I hope I win something so that I'll have fabric to make quilts (so much inspiration linked up there!). I'd love the Amy Butler Tree Peony Fabric, but really I'd love any fabric (or related item!). :)
I have such a hard time picking favorites. So I picked "the first" as my favorite and blogged about it one more time.
I would love to win any of the fabric cuts. (I am building a stash-and I think I am fabric addicted.)
I loved your ideas SO much I created a blog just to participate! This is so friendly and FUN! Thank you, thank you for organizing the event. Tomorrow I am making my best friend participate. l
Fun idea! Thanks for doing all the work so we can have fun. I've blogged and linked.
I was on my way to uploading a picture of my favorite quilt when I read about your favorite brownie recipe...what to do?!?! Quilt or Brownie?!?! Well, the brownie won out...it's baking...and the house smells terrific and MAYBE, if I don't go into a diabetic coma, I'll still be able to post my quilt...if not, you'll know the brownie did me in...but I will have gone happy!! Truly, if this brownie tastes as good as it smells...well...just know my thighs thank you in advance because that's where those brownies will end up!!! xo, Nan
I posted about my favorite quilt. Thank you so much for organizing this quilt show. I am having such a good time checking out all of the fabulous quilts.
Thank you for sponsoring, organizing such a warm and friendly event! I confess that I created a blog just to participate. It is the closest thing to showing a quilt I will ever get! I am sorry if I double commented - still getting the hang of the blogging community!
This is so neat! I don't have a blog to post my favorite quilt (and i only have a few under my belt anyway) but just wanted to say i am loving all the inspiration! (rphmel30@yahoo.com)
What a fun idea to have an on-line show. I can't wait to page though the other pictures. I haven't been quilting as much as I usually do so this should help me get back into the groove.
MJ
Won't be able to post till mid week but have blogged about it so you should be getting some more traffic. I absolutely LOVE this idea. Thanks for setting it up.

What a great idea! Thanks for hosting this. SO much inspiration.
What a great idea. I think it is going to take me a while to go through all the quilts that are posted, but it will be fun doing that. Thanks for doing this.
I can't wait to spend time this weekend looking at everyone's quilts! My favorite prize - the Woodland Bloom fat quarters - I already have a charm pack and a project in mind!
Thanks for organizing this!! I entered the first quilt I ever completed - an 80" x 80" Trip Around the World. I've loved taking a trip down memory lane!
this is so neat...i am just new to quilting (ok, i havent made my first one yet...but i plan to before the end of the year)...i cant wait to look at everyone's creations...and a contest too?!?!? winning would be whip cream and sprinkles on my sundae!
Really a great idea Amy! Thank you Sponsors! You're making this fun for so many! I've posted about my quilt and linked up! Now I can't wait to go visit everyone else!!
What a great idea. What fun and inspirational quilt. Thanks for putting this together!
What a fun way to have a quilt show online. I linked my Blog to your festival and posted my Favorite quilt. The link to my Blog with mr linky was not directly to the post so use- http://mary-quiltingrandma.blogspot.com/2009/04/my-favortie-quilt.html
Thanks

Oh gosh - this is wonderful! What an amazing collection of quilts and fantastic stories of their creation to go alongside. I can see me spending many an hour enjoying these pictures, stories and blogs. I am very new to quilting and have not yet completed my first quilt - (only a quilt top) so cannot yet join in the fun - mabye next year! Thank you for organizing and thank you to everyone who has contributed with a quilt.
Just posted about my favourite quilts. Now I'm off to check out everybody elses. Thanks for organising this.
Thanks for organising this, great idea and marvelous quilts from everyone.
What a brilliant idea Amy, I posted my quilt & hope everyone comes by & checks in!
What generous sponsors you have too.
What an awesome idea! Congratulations! It rocks!
Thought I'd let you know, there seems to be a blogger 'flowers' leaving what seems to be the same spam comment with an unrelated link on a lot of these posts.
