Quilt Festival - Fall 2009



Welcome, welcome! I'm so excited to have you here for the festival! Make sure that you are comfortable, there are so many beautiful quilts to inspire and awe you. When I hosted the Spring Festival I was blown away by the vastness of this online community, and all the talent too! This installment is bound to be just as exciting and fun, with new friends made too. I need to start with a big THANK YOU to the sponsors - check them out on the right, and later in this post too! Each sponsor has generously offered a piece of their shop/business, please take a few moments to click over to each one as they all have something different to offer.
Do you have a quilt to showcase? Excellent! Here's what you need to do -- 1. Go write a post about your quilt. 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! 2. Once you have posted on your blog, come back here with a link to that post. Not just your blog, click on the title of your post and get a link to that specific post. 6 months later there have been lots of readers clicking through links from the Spring Festival daily, if you post just to your blog they will not be able to find your Festival Entry. 3. Insert your name and url in the Mr. Linky. 4. Leave me a comment to be entered in to the giveaways. I'm curious to know where you are from, could you please add your general location to your comment!? Thanks! 5. Now go check out all the other entries! Leave encouraging comments wherever you land, enjoy making new friends and be inspired. 6. If you are on flickr, consider adding your entry to the Group Pool, it's great to see all the quilts in the gallery.

Thearica said...

Amy! This has been so much fun! I browsed several blogs yesterday and had to make myself get up from the pc. Actually the last blog I browsed inspired me to make a quilt so I went right upstairs and did just that! :) It is 2/3rds put together and will be finished tomorrow in time to take to my guild meeting! Thanks so much for doing this festival! I hope the links to the blogs will be kept somewhere so we can continually go back to them. There is so much inspiration and eye candy it will take a year to go through it all! :)

I am originally from Northwest Alabama but moved to Henderson, NC in Jan 2003!

an encourager said...

Hi, What a fun idea you had to sew all us quilters together in this blog festival! My quilt turned out about as good as the Pumpkin Quiche recipe I tried (that went into the trash), and was actually made as my first Schnibbles quilt. It's an embarrassing sight, but for some reason, I'm not minding showing it, since I got to blog all about my lesson in perseverance from it. Thanks for letting me enter into the delight of this fun!

Kim said...

I am having so much fun looking at all the beautiful quilts!

Hi Amy,
What a fun idea. I posted a link from my blog with my featured quilt. But I realized that when I listed my URL, I listed my general blog URL not the specific one for my post. How can I change that? If it is easier on your end (sorry, I know you're busy!) my correct link is http://sillyhappysweet.blogspot.com/2009/10/bloggers-quilt-festival.html

for Silly Happy Sweet's blog. So sorry! Thank you again. What a clever idea! --Carolyn

Hi Amy,
I've linked to my favorite quilt, which happens to be one of the newer ones. Thanks for the fun idea! I've checked out a couple dozen other quilts so far. Making my way through the list. :-)

ps: The original quilt is on display right now at Naugatuck Valley Comm College in Waterbury CT.

This is such a fabulous idea and I thank you for hosting it. I've been sick this last week and it's been wonderful to be able to browse though everyone's amazing quilts while I couldn't do much else.

Thank you!

Ashley said...

Hi Amy I have posted my link to my greatest quilting achievement (to date), it's my first time using a quilting machine myself! I'm so glad I found out about this quilt festival, I am a newbie quilter and will be attending the International Quilt Festival in Houston this Friday for the first time! In my opinion this is better than a regular quilt show because you get to see a little background on the quilt and quilter!

I love this! I got to go to the Houston Quilt Festival twice while I was in Texas. I loved it even before I really knew about designers etc. Sigh... Thanks for hosting this. I am going to have a good time looking at all of the quilts for the next couple of weeks!
Hope I win, too!

Hello! I finally decided to get in on this.... I don't have a blog so I posted my pics on flickr and added them to the Festival group.

I tried to link to Flickr with Mr Linky, not sure if that will work or not....

Thank you for hosting this festival. I LOVE looking at all the gorgeous quilts!!

Phew, I almost missed it, but I think I made it! Thanks for putting this on Amy! You're the best ;-)

Lori said...

Wow! And to think I figured out how to create a blog, a link, and a button just to share in all the fun....... My goodness!

Seriously, thank you SO much for putting this on. I've gotten nothing accomplished for several days now, *except* reading stories, being inspired and making new friends, It's been fabulous!

I can't believe it's almost a year since I finished this quilt! I love the interplay of the two colours. Writing from Edmonton AB Canada.

Thanks for the lovely quilt show!

Thanks for hosting again. I loved going through all the blogs last spring enjoying all the beautiful quilts. It's rainy and dreary here today in McLean, VA - perfect weather for viewing quilts again. Ahhh.

I'm back again browsing. What a feast for the eyes. Aaahhhh!

Thanks for hosting this! I just entered my quilt, and spent an hour or more looking at other entries. What a wonderful way to spend a chilly western Massachusetts morning.

Hi, Amy. Thanks for hosting another quilt festival. It is so much fun to look at "all" the quilts and blogs! I have been so inspired and made new friends. Thanks so much!

Sara said...

I just did my first EVER Mr. Linky! I'm so excited! And I am SO enjoying looking at all the breathtaking quilts! Thanks so much!

June Cleaver said...

This is amazing! I just linked over from Wish Upon a Quilt and wow! The quilts are extraordinary. Mrs. Moen's quilt story gave me the chills. Quilts are no longer just sometihng to keep warm under or a way to use old material. They are works of art with symbolism & depth. I'm new to this "hobby" but I can see already how my English teaching background will influence my future works. I can hardly wait to get started!
