Welcome to the third Blogger's Quilt Festival! I'm so glad that you are here - and I hope that you plan to enter a quilt in the Festival! Everyone is welcome to participate, this is a relaxed festival with no judging, no gloves, and beverages are allowed, encouraged even! :)
Many "Thank You's" go out to our sponsors! They have been fun and gracious to work with in the weeks leading up to today. And the prizes they are offering are so generous! Be sure to visit each of the shops as you enjoy the show. They each have a button to the right, and I have a list of prizes below the entries.
I have been so thankful to have my laptop while getting the details together this time around and I cannot wait to sit on the couch and take in all the inspiration! I hope you have a comfy seat too - this may take a while.
While you are blog hopping - let me know if you see a quilter you would like to see featured on my blog. I plan to continue the Friday features after the festival and always need more nominations!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 660 Newer› Newest»you can delete 176, bethany because I didn't have a direct link...I misread your post, my fault not yours so I redid the linky with a direct link!!!
Amy, Thanks for doing this! I did it backwards...left the comment and then posted....but now it's done right. I am very fond of the little quilt that I shared. I love making small wall quilts and especially enjoy working by hand. If I count the tiny dollhouse baby quilts that I've made, the number is about 75. I enjoy sharing them at local quilt guilds and in programs for church women's groups. :-)
Just posted to my second blog-an antique inspired quilt I made for the HMQS charity fundraiser. I made 1 quilt and my sister made 2 and we raised about $300.00
Sandra
This is so fun! I can't wait to see all the quilts! I have completed seven quilts and have about 10 I'm working on, not counting the other 77 ones I'm planning in my head!
Whee! My first BQF! Thanks, Amy...
My post of my first and only double bed quilt is here, http://zetor-mogsblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/amys-quilt-festival.html
This is a fantastic idea and I know I will find much inspiration.
Thanks for putting this all together, Amy! Love your name ;-)
Thanks for hosting this fun event! (While I Was Waiting)
I always love the festival! Thanks for hosting this.
Love the festival! Thanks for organizing!
I just posted about a quilt I'd been meaning to blog. Thanks for giving me this chance to share! I've made about 30 projects in the last 13 years. I'm not too prolific, but I love it!
I have never joined in the festival before and hope I did it right. It is great to see so many quilts and read their stories. Thank you so much for the opportunity to share mine. Elaine
Aloha all taking part in this great on line quilt show that Amy puts on. Amy you are the greatest for allowing all of us to have the opportunity to view all these wonderful quilts.

I entered a quilt. Thanks for hosting this again!
I have enjoyed the last 2 Blogger Quilt Festivals. I am glad that I was able to participate this time. Keep up the great ideas. It is so nice to have so many quilters in one place at one time.
Just Another Quilter
I haven't finished a quilt yet, so I'm entering my first ever finished quilt top.
Now, I'm going to spend the rest of my day (or weekend?) reading all the entries for this festival!
thanks for giving us a place to look at soo many quilts.
Hi Amy, Thanks for organizing this great show. I'm not posting anything - no blog, new computer, never posted on flickr, shy, etc. But I am really enjoying looking at what other people have posted and I'm trying to comment on them all. I haven't finished any full size quilts on my own yet although I've got six on the go right now. I've worked with some quilting friends to make quilts to give away for co-workers, made lots of baby quilts and other things like bags, wallhangings and table runners. The first quilt I ever started was the year I was married (33 years ago). It was an applique quilt and thinking back on it the colours were ghastly - green on green, solid fabrics. Anyway it burnt when our home burned about six months after we were married. It was about two thirds done. I didn't quilt again until about five years ago. Thanks for a chance to win one (or more :)) of those fabulous prizes.
What a great Idea, I love it...loving all the inspiration from here in the UK where patchworkers seem to be a bit few and far between...
loving sharing my favourite quilt...
This is such a great opportunity to view the work of other bloggers. I've written my post and linked up! Now I'm going to surf...even though I should be cutting out the 6" squares I need for my Scrappity-Do-Dah quilt!
Thanks for organising this again Amy! It was great fun last year. As you can see on my blog, I nearly didn't take part but managed after all even if late! Good luck with all your admin and hope everyone has a great time!
I am so excited to participate! Now I'm going to spend hours blog hopping -- thanks for organizing this.
Thanks so much for hosting this quilt festival! I'm not sure how many quilts I have made, but one interesting fact is that I've never made one for myself. I need to fix that. :)
This is such an awesome idea. I'm a relatively new quilter and am currently working on mostly baby quilts. I love all the fabric possibilities for little kids. Thanks for the inspiration.

Awesome Amy!! Thank-you so much for doing this. This is my first ever quilt festival - either online or real-life - how fun! I'm very new to quilting, just started this year and have made about 4 quilts so far and 3 doll quilts on top of that. It's very addicting - i think you could safely say i'm not giving up this sport! :)
What a wondeful group of posts and giveaways. I'm working on my first quilt now, a hand pieced grandmother's flower garden using the paper piecing method and 30's reproductions...did I mention yet that it is king sized? Yeah I've got 61 of the 80 "flowers" done and am starting on the pathway. For a first project I figure it is pretty big so am not feeling bad that it has gotten this far in about 8 months. I will have it done before the end of the year so I'm excited!
I browsed through so many of the quilts from last year that I decided to take up quilting!! 6 quilts and one year later, I finally got to participate:)
Thanks again for hosting this great event. It's so great to see everyone's quilts!
Thank you for hosting the quilt festival. This is all new to me.
Yay for quilt festival! Thanks for doing all of this again Amy your the best! -Allison
Thanks Amy for hosting this festival again. It is the second one for me...so much fun!
I've made 17 quilts and have 3 waiting for me to finish the binding. I also have more quilts on my to-do list than I could possibly count! ;)
I wish there were more hours in my day for looking at all of these!!!

Yay!! Another online quilt festival! Thanks Amy!
Thanks for organising this, Amy. I'm looking forward to looking at all the quilts.
First time to the festival and I'm enjoying my look around.
Thanks for doing the Festival again, it´s so fun!
I don´t really know how many quilts I´ve done, but approximatly around 30, and the pile of UFO´s is about 15 tops :) It seems like ideas of new projects must be realized before endings of the old ones :)
Oh boy, inspiration city around here! I have about four trillion projects to finish or start but I know I'll find some more to add to my list. I need a butler!
Finally able to leave a comment. Thanks so much for hosting this and I am really enjoying visiting new to me blogs.
This is my first time participating in this Festival and how much fun this is! I've completed 140 quilts (of various sizes ... some small, some VERY LARGE) and probably have half as many on my To Do list. :-) I love sewing, quilting ... any creative sort of needlework ... it feeds my soul and makes me happy. (which, in turn, makes me a happy wife and mother. :-) )
Hi Amy, thanks for hosting! Since the first of the year I have made 5 quilts, in my lifetime I am not sure how many; I stopped quilting when the kids were really little and life was to crazy, but now that they are a bit older (and learning to sew themselves)I have jumped back into quilting with both feet! So many WIP going thru my head that I have listed them on my blog so I can keep track.
Can't wait to see all of the quilts!
Thank you for hosting this festival. It will be cool to look through everyone's entries.
The quilt I linked to is my 4th or 5th quilt. I am now working on my 7th or so. I have many many more on my wish list to do. I'm currently working on one with Wonderland fabrics from Momo.
Hi Amy! This is such a good idea-- and so fun! I even made a new blog just so I could participate (family blog is private ;) I've made about 35 or 40 quilts and always have 4 or 5 either in the planning or making stage. Ahhh...quilting. :)
Thanks for all your effort in putting together this festival where I can see so many creative people and wonderful works they've done.
My link is posted! (and I've joined and am following on FB and Twitter)
Hurray for quilters!
Thanks for hosting the Quilt Festival. I just made my 1st quilt festival post!
I have been quilting for about 1 year. In that year I have made 12 quilts. I have so many on my todo list it isn't even funny...I just can't seem to stop adding new projects and buying new fabric!
Thanks for doing this again Amy. This is the second time for me...great fun. I picked a quilt that had been in my closet probably since I made it...along with about 15 other quilts!
Yay - I'm linked! Thanks Amy, this is always such fun - I'm going to be joined at the hip to my computer for the next few days/weeks/months, lol. I always enjoy this so much!
I thought about making a quilt just for the Festival, but as always I left it too late, lol. I ended up using one that taught me the most, and it's a definite favorite.
Thanks for all the hard work you are doing. Hope you feel better soon! This is my first time in your festival and I must admit that I'm a bit nervous about it.
Hi Amy,
I'm going to be updating my post through the week as I work on this new quilt. This is a work in progress.
Thanks for all you do.
all the best,
Dana
What a neat Festival idea! How do you keep up with it all!? Thanks for the bloghopping opportunity too.
Lovely to enter again and be aprt of this fantastic event.
Something interesting..... I've made about 50 quilts in the last 5 years (24 last year), I currently have 13 in progress (excluding 2 ofr customers) and I just joined my 6th quilting bee.
This is so much fun; my very first quilt festival! Can't wait to visit everyone's blogs and see what they've been up to!
Thanks again...I know how much work this has to be! I've posted, added my link, and now I'm off to look at some of the other quilts! Have a great day!
Hi Amy,
Thank you for your hard work. It's great to see in one place so many wonderful quilts.
thanks so much Amy for hosting another fab BQF! Right now, I'm working on a flea market fancy giant hex quilt, I finally took the plunge and siginificantly cut into my FMF stash. It'll probably be the quilt I enter in the next BQF. :)
This is such a great idea, Amy - thanks for the opportunity to share my quilt! Oh yeah - before I forget - about those prizes - pick me pick me pick me!! ;-)
Thanks, Amy, for this wonderful opportunity to see all the beautiful quilts. This was a great idea!
Thanks for hosting this festival, Amy! What a great idea!! And by the way - for those prizes - pick me! pick me!! ;-)
Thanks Amy! I can't wait to see what everyone is showing this spring!
I have no idea how many quilts I've made...I've been quilting for over 20 years now-but I can tell you its alot and the fun never stops. I'm always finding new things to try and new designs to challenge myself with.
I just posted about this festival and my favorite quilt. Last time I had so much fun visiting all those blogs and have visitors from all over the world. Thanks for organizing this event once again, Amy!
Greetings from Germany,
Dagmar
Okay fine I am entering! :D I wasn't planning on it because I didn't think my quilt was good enough, but I decided what the heck! :D Thanks for doing this and your hard work!
Thanks for organising the festival. This is my first participation. How many quilts I have made? I have counted about 2 but this is without the bags and other objects. How many quilts I have on my to do/wish list: probably an infinite number, which will get even worse after blog hopping during the festival...
Celine in UK
thanks for hosting. Now something about me.... I currently have 12 quilts in various stages of finishing. I'm not sure how it happened but WOW I need to stop acting on new ideas and just finish some of these.
thanks amy for once again being the hostess with the mostess!! can't wait to look at all of wonderful quilts out there in blog land
I just posted my link. This is my first time joining in the Blogger's Quilt Festival! I added my most recent finished quilt as it is my favorite thus far. It is the 9th quilt I've ever made, and my 6th quilt this year. I've made a personal goal to make 12 quilts this year, so I'm at the halfway mark. :) Looking forward to seeing all the other entries! Thanks!
Thanks so much for organising this festival. This is my first one, and its great to get involved and see all the fantastic talent out there.
I couldnt wait to get home from work today so I could do my post. Thanks so much for doing this!!
I just posted my link. I am new to blogging and think this festival is really fun. Thanks for taking the time to do it.
Hi Amy, I do love quilt show! Thanks for organizing this great event! I've been quilting for about 30 years and have made many, many quilts...some good ones and some, not so wonderful! But it has been a lovely hobby to have through the years.
I love this quilt show! There are so-o-o many talented quilters out there in blogger land, this makes it easy to see so much eye candy.
This is a wonderful and fun event! I'm thrilled to enter a quilt into the festival. I'm not sure how many quilts I've made to date, it's really about the process for me, not the quantity. I've been quilting for about 5 years and am always inspired by my fellow quilters from the online quilting community.
Well imagine my lucky timing. I'm sewing binding on a quilt tonight/this weekend and will be able to write a post in time to make your deadline :).
This will be my 4th quilt, the 2nd that is larger than a twin size quilt.
I've got fabric sitting for 4 quilts which I hope to get to soon. Right now I seem to have a one year turn around on quilts (see my timing is very lucky, LOL) ... I'd like to speed that up by a few months ;).
Thanks so much ... I can't wait to grab an iced tea and click through all the inspiration!!

BTW, entry #286 was an error. So sorry, I'm not sure what to do about this. It was a link to my blog, not my blog post. #287 is correct.
Thank you so much for hosting the BQF again. I appreciate all your hard work. I look forward to this each Quilt Market now. I just finished my biggest and bestest quilt... just in time for BQF!! Thanks so much for hosting, Amy.
Just linked up. Thanks for organizing. I really love seeing so many wonderful quilts.
Amy thanks for this bloggers festival ... it's so good to see so many favourite quilts !!
Hi there, thanks for organising this Blogger's Quilt Festival. I am a first time entry because I am very new to blogging. I have been working with textiles for the last 30 years but patch working for about 10 or so. I think I have made about 30 quilts and they are scattered all over my house. The hubby and kids roll themselves up in them over the winter and they are in every room of the house. Patch working is my refuge and I am totally addicted to buying more fabric and making new things. I have a stack of my husband's old shirts ready to be made into something - possibly squares made from triangles so the lines on the fabric nearly match up or the Indigo Points quilt from Fassett's latest book. There are usually a few things on the go at the same time. I only get weekends to really get stuck into my sewing and every week a new idea pops into my head. Some get made and some don't. It's all fun.
Wow..this is my first time joining your festival. I have been quilting for about 37 years..forever, but new to blogging. Your blog and your festival are a delightful contribution to the quilting community. Thank you. Diane from Charlotte, North Carolina
Amy, thank you so much for hosting this. This is actually my first time participating and I'm really excited about it!! It's always so refreshing to see all that inspiration!!
Yay! I'm in! :) I'm thinking of making my next project a quilt for Reagan's bed (a full/queen). Nothing like jumping in with both feet huh? :D Have you ever used a duvet cover, added batting in between and then quilted it?? I found an awesome duvet cover and the thought crossed my mind. Not sure how it would work though....
Thanks for working so hard to bring the festival to fruition. May God bless you tenfold (and give you health and rest!).
Thanks for this opportunity! I'm excited to be inspired !
I would LOVE to tell you how many quilts I have started or that are in the works, but I can't count that high....Honestly about 10, I don't count anymore though. THANKS for hosting, I enjoy this.
Hi Amy! Once again, a great opportunity to see wonderful quilts and meet wonderful quilt bloggers! Thanks for all the hours you have put in to make this possible, and thanks to all the sponsers, wow! Great prizes. I have enjoyed the two previous Quilt Festivals very much.
Thanks for hosting again..this is a great way to see whar everyone's doing..I have made over 100 quilts, I have just finished my Dear Jane which is on my blog..
Now to check out other blogs.
thank you Julia ♥
Thanks Amy for organizing this festival. It is so much fun. I love to share my projects with others and seeing what others are making. It is very inspirational.
What an amazing festival! Thanks Amy & all the sponsors for this event. I finished my festival quilt a few weeks ago, but I waited to post it until now. It's fun to be able to share something new... and find the inspiring works of other quilters I wouldn't normally cross paths with!
Wow! This Bloggers' Quilt Festival has really grown. Already 289 before me on the first day. Thanks so much for hosting this again. I look forward to visiting lots of new bloggers.
Thanks for hosting Amy. I've recently started quilting and actually only have one finished quilt top (and two that have been cut and are waiting for a beginning). I hope it's alright if I share a quilt that was made for me in my post. I love seeing everyone's projects and getting even more inspired (just need to find more time in the day).
Love the quilt festival! Thanks for organizing it.
Something to keep me busy for the next few days. Can't wait to see all the pretty quilts. I've made probably 20+ easy minkee baby blankets that don't require quilting but probably between 10 and 15 real quilts. It is very addictive. Now that I'm retired I hope to do lots more and get better at my free motion quilting.

There, I've done it. I've actually entered a quilt in a show of some sort, even if it is just online. Thanks for the fun and the chance to win!
This is a great way to see all the great work everyone is doing. I've been piecing quilt for over 20 years and learning new and different things every step of the way. My aunt inspired and challenged me to find a better way of doing things other than hand piecing. I taught her to piece a log cabin by machine in 1988. I've since made around 40 log cabins.
I made my first feathered star about a month ago and am experimenting with that. Quilting is exciting and quilters motivating!
Amy, this is fun every time! Thanks!
I had heard the buzz about this quilt festival, so I had to jump in and see what all the talk was about - what a wonderful resource and inspiration :) Thanks for hosting this!
Hi Amy, I'm in again, but I did a typo for my blog name. It should be Notjustnat. Would you be able to retype it for me please? My number is 317 - thanks so much - great show again - Hugs Nat
I have made 6 quilts and have two in the works :)
Thanks for hosting this!
I just posted and added my link. Thanks for all your hard work to make this happen. I can't wait to go see what everyone has been up to!
Thanks Amy! I'm happy to join in the fun. This time I posted a liberated quilt.
Thanks so much for hosting such a great quilt show!
I love the festival! If I'd only finished all the intended projects in time! Thanks for all the fun. I love looking at all the wonderful quilts.
Another great festival--thank you for hosting!
Amy - thanks for hosting the festival, again. I can't wait to get home from Market and have the chance to browse through all the entries!
What fun! I'm off to pick my quilt.
Hi Amy, I am so excited you are doing the quilt festival again. All these wonderful quilts are inspiration for me to finish the 3 I have in the works. Maybe you will see them in the next quilt festival.
Thanks so much for hosting this festival. It so great to see all the wonderful quilts.
I just posted my link. This is the first time I've shared anything crafty on my blog! Its fun to see what everyone else is doing.
Thank you so much for hosting the Blogger's Quilt Fest! I love reading blogs almost as much as quilting :). I look forward to discovering many more wonderful blogs.

I've enjoyed quilting and especially this quilt because it was a surprise for my sister...and she was REALLY surprised!! I loved it! I have three quilt-alongs in progress at the moment: Jelly Roll Sampler, Pinwheel Sampler, and the Simple Squares Sampler. I finished the Road to Spring quilt-along earlier this spring. Thanks, Amy, for hosting!
Should make for a fun weekend checking out all the inspiration! Thanks Amy!
I can't wait to start enjoying all of the beautiful quilts.
Hi Amy, thanks for putting the festival on again, it's so fun going on the tour around blogland :)
I am currently working on 4 quilts which is very unlike me, I'm usually a 'finish one before I move on' kind of a gal! lol! But a change is as good as a rest I guess ;)
Have a great weekend!

Thanks Amy,It's Great to see that quilting will never be a dying art with all of these amazing Quilters out there!
This is my first Blogger quilt festival! Thanks for hosting, this is great fun, Amy.
I enjoy the quilt fest so much! Thanks for being such a wonderful host. :)....humm.. I am a little embarrassed to say that I have more quilts unfinished then I do finished. That might be a goal for the second part of the year. :) This is good motivation!
Amy you are the GREATEST!! Thanks again for bringing so much talent together under one computer screen!! I can't wait to see all the great talent!
Rie.
How exciting! Discovered your blog today and had to be part of the quilt festival. I'm so looking forward to clicking on each entry to get new ideas. Thanks for hosting this.
WhoooHoooooo Amy!! Love, love, love the Fest....thanks so much for all your hard work and all that I have learned from you!
Hmmmmm....too many WIPs....and I think since last May when I found the ORBC I have sewn over thirty quilts and at least that many table runners and toppers!
My mind is full and my fingers are itching to get the ideas out!;)
Love this all inclusive festival! Looking at all the quilts in the last festival inspired me to start a blog this year. Quilts finished & WIPs are about the same - approx. 20.
Thanks for organizing tjis, I think I will have a long weekend visiting the festival
It is hard to say how many quilts I have sewn, because I've done very simple ones--possibly over a hundred of them--and given them away to charity. I'm looking in my flickr set, and I see about 27; I've given away 18 of those, and I just finished one, and one's not counted, so there are maybe 11 in the house. (Wow, that many? They're in many different places...)
I actually recently wrote a "I'd love to make this quilt" list, and I think there are {gulp} at least a dozen on there!
Thanks for doing this, Amy. It pushes me to keep moving forward in my quilting, and to create with an eye for display (so that means stepping up my level of craftsmanship!).
(By the way, you don't have to enter me in the drawings; I've won a couple of things recently, and I'd like to "share the love...")
I'm so excited to start trolling through all the links! Thank you thank you thank you for doing all the legwork to get this up and running!! It really is one of the coolest aggregations of craftiness out there in blogland! (not that I'm biased towards quilting or anything) :)
I have my entry posted and will begin to view all of the quilts entered! This is so fun!
This is my first time posting for the festival, thanks so much for the opportunity Amy!
Amy - thanks so much for hosting was is already another successful quilt festival for bloggers! Look at all that eye candy up there! It's AMAZING! Thank you for pulling it all together. I forgot to post my comment last night when I linked in - I was number 56 and already there's well over 300! Thanks again! xx
I am a new quilter and enjoy seeing what everyone else is doing. Thanks for hosting this.
Cindy
This is my first entry in your contest, and now I can't wait to look around at all the others! What fun!
Hiya Amy. I am all linked up. Thanks to you for your tremendous effort in organising the festival.
Wow thanks for hosting this! I'm such a beginner and probably not even qualified to participate but what the heck. I'm off to look at all the other participants. It'll take me days!
I have a long to-do list for quilts! I have two in progress right now, but I'm eager to hop over to a new one, so that will soon be three!
I just posted my entry... I'm super excited about this one... I'm new to quilting, the list is really going to provide me with a lot of inspiration...
Thanks for the chance...
Spread the Cheer!!!
Shruti
Thanks for the opportunity to share my quilt. It usually lives behind the front door where no one gets to see much of it. Now it's OUT THERE. lol
hi Amy, i "met" you when i started my very first quilt, last year at Danas Old Red Barn Co quiltalong :-) - that was a lot of fun, wasn´t it?? thanks for hosting this great festival!!
claudia
Amy, this is such a great idea of yours. Thanks for doing it for us. It's so great to get inspired by others' wonderful work. I've made about 50 quilts since I started quilting in 2001. I have more than 30 fabric collections ready to be made into quilts, but I haven't finalized the patterns I will use for many of them. That's my hangup. I modify all my quilt patterns. They sort of evolve as I make them most of the time. I love the creative process that produces a quilt, but my favorite part is putting the fabrics together.
I've only come across this festival recently, what a great idea! Thanks for hosting it.
I just had a surgery and hence I am not able to sew ------- but what a joy to find a link to your festival. It is just perfect for me right now. I have joined immidiately :O)
Thank you for this wonderful initative.
All my best regard
Annelise
I just found your blog and love your idee of this festival, thank you so much!
Thank you for the Quilt Festival. It is one of the Best Quilt Show I see..!! I have been quilting for many years. Have made hundreds of quilts, and treat each one like my first..!! Can't wait to see the other blog's.
WOW, this is fun, I am a vintage fabric kinda girl so most of my quits are older quilts that are family quilts that I have "Saved" and proudly show off to anyone who will look at them. I do quilt and I have probably made about 10-20 quilts, started when our Girls were little, went thru quite a few on their beds, LOL. Now I am on a vintage linens kick so working on quilts made of recycled sheets and pillowcases, being green and making beautiful quilts at the same time. So go check out my blog, I am putting up one of my favorie quilts, so enjoy looking. THANKS FOR HOSTING THIS. I am going to try to hook up with your button, but am not all that savy so hopefully it works.
This is my favorite computer thing! I just love seeing all the quilts, thanks Amy :)
I've made 4 bed quilts, over 20 quilts for Lutheran World Relief which work up fast and are much needed around the world, several wall quilts and baby quilts over the years. Thanks for all the work that went into putting this together. It is wonderful to see everyone's work!
Hi Amy, Thank you once again for hosting such a fabulous event. So wonderful to be inspired and awed so much while simply sitting at my computer! Oh, and have an AWESOME Birthday xo
thank again for hosting -
Need to post mine this weekend
looking forward to the quilts!
Hi Amy, thank you so much for organising the Quilt Festival and giving me the chance to show one of my quilts. I am now looking forward to looking at everyone else's blogs and quilts - what fun!
Thank you Amy for organizing such an amazing Quilt Festival!! I can't wait to visit all the other blogs and see the wonderful quilts these talented ladies are sharing!!
Thank you so much for organizing this festival. I really love this idea. The spring festival last year, was kind of a motivation for me to start my own blog. I also had just started quilting, so it feels like a significant milestone for me. I didn't finish a quilt specifically for the festival this time, but I had this past fall. I have something like 6 quilts in the queue. I hope to have at least 3 to choose from for the fall. Thanks again, this is a lot of fun.
This is such a cool idea! I'm so happy to participate this year!
I can't imagine gathering that many people and that many quilts in one room! What a wonderful list of tallented quilters! Kudos to your for putting this all together.
So tickled to join in on the Festival again this time! So much talent out here in quilting blogland.
375 from Mr. Linky, just the number I never knew I always wanted! What a hit, kudos to everyone showing off all these beautiful quilts! And of course to Amy our kind Hostess. Good thing she doesn't have to feed everyone.
Thanks Amy! This Festival is a great idea!
nichi
I can't wait to check out all the quilts! I currently have three quilts in progress. They are waiting for me to finish some dresses for my girls for a wedding we are going to in June. I know that I made about 16 quilts last year, I have no idea of a lifetime number, but now that you mention it, I want to start keeping track.
I just added my first quilt design. I believe this is my first time participating in your quilt festival. Thank you
I just posted my link...this is the first time I've joined, so I'm psyched! Have sewed forever, but never was interested in quilting until a little over a year ago...now, I think of nothing else except what I'm working on, what I want to work on, what I should be working on...well, you get the idea. ADDICTED!!! Okay, I'm off to go visit some blogs! Thank you for doing this, Amy...it is great fun!
I love this idea - missed it last year but I'm having a great time getting inspired by everyone else!
Cheers!
This is my first year entering, so thanks for doing this! I entered my "quilt of insanity" hexagon quilt.
I've made a dozen or so quilts, some rag quilts, some more involved, but it's always something that I enjoy. I have two quilts in the works. One I am hand quilting right now, and another I just got the fabric for and I'm excited to get going on it.
Fantastic idea. Thank you for hosting. I'm off to grab a cup of tea and look through all the quilts.
WOW,, there are LOTS of comments! Thanks for doing this Amy - it was fun writing about my quilt - I have a new cuppa tea, I'm ready to go look at others!
Beth in Dallas
Yay! Thanks so much for the fun-fest! :)
i have made 4 quilts; i just started last fall, picking up that age old family tradition :)i love it, and most of all, i LOVE fabric! i just finished #4 last week, and i am finishing up a place mat set.
i can't wait to look thru everyone entries!!
Wow so many beautiful and inspiring quilts. Thanks so much for hosting this.
So glad I found out about your festival! Its been lots of fun hopping from blog to blog looking at all the wonderful quilts and blogs peoples have. I'm finding so many different inspirations and have added quite a bit to my want to do list!
I am 'in' for the first time, Amy. I am having so much fun looking at the diversity there is in quilting. What a great quilt show! I hope you continue to take on this monumental event. Thanks so much!
Hi Amy! Thanks for hosting this great event. WIPS... I always have several quilts going, a couple of piles of fabric ready with a plan in mind, and a whole lot of other ideas swimming around in my brain.
Thank you for this great festival!
I want to be a part of it and hope I made everything right!
And now I start my tour through all the other blogs to take a look at wonderful quilts!
In my blog you can take a look at my first quilt!
Viele Grüße
Kerstin
What fun! I'm new to the blogger world and this is my first quilt show online! Thanks, Amy!
Thanks for hosting this quilt show, Amy. It's nice to read the stories that go with the quilts. Such inspiration.
Ooops! I almost forgot to leave a comment here! Here's something about me and my quilting: I'm very good at starting and finishing quilt tops, which then sit in a nice, neatly folded pile. I'm too afraid to go count them, but 8 is a good guess right now! Thanks for hosting the Festival and thanks to the sponsors!
This is the first time I've ever entered an online quilt festival! HOW FUN!!! The quilt I entered was the 3rd one I've ever made and I just finished a fourth with 3 more in the works. I love getting ideas from other quilters. Thank you again for doing such a fun online festival!!!!
Hello Amy!
You've done it again! Thank you and thanks to your sponsors for giving me a venue to display my quilts! This will spur me on to finish some of my ufo for future quilt festivals...lol! For now, I've blogged about it and posted your blogger festival button!
Oh soooo many blogs to hop; so many quilts to see! WOW!
hugz, Pam
I have watched these festivals... and now I get to participate in one! :D
Amy,
Thank you so much for hosting this again. Also, thanks for your quick response to my Mr. linky difficulties!
Amy,
Thank you so much for hosting this again. Also, thanks for your quick response to my Mr. linky difficulties!
Thank you for hosting the festival again! I have just added my link and I'm looking forward to lookiing throuh the entries during the weekend. I've been quilting for more than fifteen years, but still keep finding inspiration for new quilts everywhere - my ever expanding "to do"-list counts 27 quilts!
Thanks for organizing this and for helping me with Mr. Linky!
Thanks again Amy for the opportunity to participate in this fun festival - always a blast! - Marlene
I posted about one of my favorite quilts and now plan on parking my self in front on my mac and watching this wonderful quilt show. Thanks for hosting this. sorry i missed the last one. i've now added you to my blog list.
maggie
Oh my goodness -- what fun we will have. Thanks again for organizing such a great event. I've found so many interesting blogs this way.
Hi, I just added my quilt. Unfortunately, the quilt's subject matter is very timely.
Wendy in Louisiana
I just posted my entry! I'm so happy I was able to finish this one in time to blog it. :)
Thanks for hosting! This is a great opportunity to discover some wonderful blogs about quilts...
I'm having so much fun looking at all the quilts! I've even been making a list of the ones that I want to go back and look at more closely!
This is my first! I have now made my way through half of the entries and taking my time reading each and everyone's post. My entry has finally been posted as it was very hard deciding which one!
What a fun idea! I am only making my 3rd quilt right now and the one I posted for the festival is my first. Can't wait to check out the Flickr group!
This is my first time to enter, so thanks for hosting this Festival. Isn't it great to see all those wonderful quilts?
What fun to see all the different quilts. Thanks for hosting this quilt festival that we can enjoy from our own homes.
Thanks for offering this WONDERFUL Festival! I do appreciate all your hard work. You asked for some information about me ... how about "I ordered my new sewing machine today?" I'm getting a Janome Horizon - that machine just hit the shops, and it seems to be perfect ;-))
Thanks Amy for organizing this! This is going to be so fun!
I have about 12 projects in the works, but I really am trying SO hard to get that down to just 3, 4 or 5. I would be so happy with that.
Thanks again.

This is so exciting! Thanks for making all of these wonderful quilts available to see!
Hi Amy! Thanks for doing this, it's so much fun. Although I have quite a few quilts I plan to make right now, I'm working on two baby quilts, for two old friends who just had babies about the same time I had my baby this year. It is so much fun to commemorate such a special event with a quilt. Thanks again!
I have posted my quilt! I just finished that baby too. Thanks for a great contest.
I love your quilt festivals!
I am becoming a more active quilter, and I have a website in development that will be devoted to quilting ... hoping to have it up soon. For now, I'm sharing my personal blog (which has turned into more of a crafty-quilt blog, when I remember to update it).
I have finished 5 quilts since the new year, and have one in progress. I find so much inspiration in the quilt-blog community and I can't wait to browse through all of the entries.
Amy thank you so much for hosting quilt festival and for thinking of it in the first place. it is so inspiring and so much fun to see what other people are making. i know you put in a lot of hard work to make this happen, so thank you. i finally got my post up for others to enjoy....
Hi, Amy! This is my first festival - I'm so excited to play with the big kids! Thanks so much for hosting.
Amy, thanks so much for providing hundreds of links to incredible quilty eye candy! This is such an awesome collection of links.
I'm proud to add my blog and quilt to the list.
Yay! This is so fun! You inspired me to start a quilting blog!
Thanks for hosting this party Amy! I've enjoyed browsing the first two festivals and decided to join in this time.
