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.

Thank you so much Amy! Posted my favorite and added link.
ReplyDeleteI think this is the last step -- this is truly a wonderful idea - it's a gloomy day in southern Maine (about 15 miles north of Kennebunkport) so browsing the list will replace cuddling on the couch with the latest book. Thank you so much for providing a connection to the world of quilters.
ReplyDeleteYay! I think I linked correctly. So excited to join the qult festival! I chose a quilt that I actually made last year, for the Nie Nie benefit sale. I had some oops along the way, but it taught me a lot about myself and why I do what I do.
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy!!

Happy Quilting!
Thank you, Amy, for hosting! I'm a newbie when it comes to quilting. I have a love of fabric and color, but I'm impatient when it comes to putting quilts together. *grin* I have six quilts in progress, but only two finishes -- Baby Dane is my offering for the festival. I'm from West Michigan, about 25 minutes north of Grand Rapids.

What a fun idea ! Our little town of Hohenwald, Tennessee, is having Oktoberfest this weekend, and I found that it is just too much looking for a parking space, and walking all over creation........but this virtual festival is perfect !
ReplyDeleteThank you for the idea.....congratulations on its success, and thank you also, for including my link and quilt !
This is great! I'm Robin from Nebraska.
ReplyDeleteHi Amy,
ReplyDeleteI have been reading your blog awhile now. I love all your creative ideas. I am originally from Taiwan. Do you know where is Taiwan? It is a small island in pacific. Some people called it Formosa. I have landed in Iowa for last 3 years.
Thank you for hosting this great blogger festival. I can't wait to visit each blog.
Have a wonderful weekend
Chase, Iowa/ Taiwan
You rock Amy! Thanks for hosting the Quilt Festival again! I am so looking forward to looking at all the quilts this weekend. I hope that you reserved a prize or two for yourself as a reward for all your work to organize this! : ) My entry is at:

Hi Amy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing this for all of us! I'm live in the Houston Texas area. I'm really looking forward to looking at all the quilts. It's so fun to see what everyone creates.
Thanks for hosting this online quilt festival, Amy! I'm Carrie in the NYC area and I'm excited to browse through everyone's favorite quilts. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to get started looking through the entries! There are so many blogs that inspire me to spend less time sleeping and more time sewing her in Midland MI USA!
ReplyDeleteI'm lovin all the inspiration. This will be a nice way to spend down time over the long weekend & now all linked up *lucky numer 140*

Hey - this is going to be so much fun! Can't wait to surf around and see all the quilts at the festival. We're getting snow here in Manitoba right now, so this will be a great past time while staying indoors this weekend (plus a little quilting mixed in!). - Marlene
ReplyDeleteReally easy to do this year - thanks for the extra directions on using the perma link for the right day's posting.
ReplyDeleteHoping to have time this weekend to see them all... ha! it will take a month of looking because I always get distracted and go link hopping around.
Thank you for hosting the fun!
