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 401 – 600 of 660 Newer› Newest»THis is my second festival and like the last one I continue to marvel at the beauty and creativity of quilters. LOL - how many UFOs? Too many to lose quilting time counting!
Angie

Amy - Thank you for hosting this quilt festival. This is my 1st entry. I have 4 quilts in progress right now. I have gotten so much inspiration from your blog and other great quilt blogs out there. Thank you.
Hi Amy! I came across it from a friend and am so excited to get in on it. I'm so looking forward to all of the inspiration I'm sure to find perusing the festival blogs! I still consider myself new to quilting, but I do have three quilts in the works and a bazillion more in my "to do" file! Thanks for hosting this fabulous festival1
Hi Amy
I have enjoyed joining in the fun :-) and posting my Story of the Back that just so wanted to be the front :-) Am going to have lots of fun working my way through all the other blogs too :-)
Thankyou for allowing me to be part of the fun
Cheers
Lynne
What a great way to share our love of quilting! Thanks Amy!
Amy,
This is so fun to check out all these beautiful quilts, while others are standing on their tired feet at Quilt Market. Thanks for coordinating this!

www.sewcalgal.blogspot.com
oh my gosh, this is such a success. I can't wait to visit even more of these blogs.
I have no idea how many quilts I've made. I do try to document each one, but am finding that I've not been doing all that well. The one chosen for this Festival somehow missed so I will be doing up documentation for it tomorrow. Glad you helped me to catch that lapse.
Thanks Amy for organizing this fun.
I am excited to be able to share with you my favourite quilt. I have made quite a few ... well over 200 and this one I am submitting always makes it to the top of my favourite's list. Thank you for hosting. I have really enjoyed connecting to the others blogs and admire the great work which is being done in the quilting world!
This is my second time entering a quilt into your online quilt show. The quilt I am showing is going to be show at the International Plowing Match Quilt Competition next weekend in Shedden, Ontario, Canada. Thanks for hosting the online show again. Always lots of great quilts to look at and blogs to read!
thank you once again for hosting the festival and I can see I will be very busy in the weeks to come looking through all the blogs and admiring quilts.
I have made more quilts than I can remember and started about 30 years ago.

This is great fun and a blogger learning experience too. Love everyones quilts!
I thought maybe I was too late to get in, but happily I am now part of the BQF! Thanks, Amy for hosting this fun event.
Well i think i did it right! Hope the links work right! They are all a rool of the dice with me! Thanks for organizing this!
Amy Im very confused! i did it all it showed up my links worked butnow its saying something aboutbeing closed and my links not there? hum?
Thanks for organizing this Amy. I have posted the link on my blog. It is just so much fun... Now I am off to see what everyone has made.
This is wonderful! I am not sure how many quilts I have made, it is not a ton but I love the process of planning and making a quilt. Thanks for hosting this, what an inspiration!
What a great idea! Love it!!! Just posted my link to. I'm looking through the quilts on flickr now and WOW what a great showing. Great JOB TO EVERYONE!!!!
And AMY - THANK YOU! A big appreciation to you for hosting this festival. Looks like a hit!
What a great idea you had, and perfectly implemented! Thanks so much, got me realizing I had a quilt I'd never shown on my blog before!
I'm # 437 Nikki McD and I just realized I linked to my blog, not to the entry for the quilt festival... so sorry! Not sure how to fix it...
Here's a link to my festival entry post: http://nikkisquiltingprojects.blogspot.com/2010/05/bloggers-quilt-festival-entry.html
Thanks!!!!
I was reminded n=by Miri at Milk and Honey Quilts that it was festival time again. Thanks for continuing this tradition!
I think there's been an error with my previous two comments, probably because I primarily use Firefox for my main blog and was logged in on Internet Exploder for my quilting blog. So this one links to my main blog, but there's a link in the sidebar to my quilting blog, plus I'm #401 on the list.
This festival is a fantastic idea and I'm so pleased to be joining in! I've been quilting for three years now and sew everything by hand, although I do plan to learn how to use a sewing machine sooner or later.
How could you do this to me? Over 420 quilts to look at - how on earth am I going to find time for housework or cooking this week? Thanks for doing this for us, I took part in the last one and met some great people.
Thanks Amy for the opportunity to see such a wide range of quilts I just love looking at them all.
Thanks for hosting this Festival Amy, looking forward to viewing all those yummy quilts.

I added a quilt to "Blogging For Quilters and Other Interesting People." Thanks for the opportunity! So many gorgeous quilts on here this time.
thanks for this. would be nice to see more quilters and their work.
much greetings from österreich

Wowee! Nearly 500 quilters in this fabulous party! Thanks so much for organising this shindig :)
Dear Amy, thanks for organizing and hosting such a wonderful virtual festival! I'm new to it, first time I've heard of it and first time I'm participating. I've finished 14 UFO's earlier this year, and currently I'm working on log cabin blocks for 2 lap quilts. I hope I've done it right, the links and all that, I mean... :)
This is an amazing response! So many lovely blogs to visit and such great community. Thanks. A few years ago, I took pictures of all my unfinished projects. They totaled 45. I have finished a number of them and added a few. I think I am at 35 now so making some headway.
Amy, thank you for organizing this. It is so inspiring to see what others are doing. I'm #450. I know there will be others who join after I do.
Thanks for hosting this event! I look forward to checking out everyone's great quilts.
It was such fun last time I had to participate again. Thanks
When I got on yesterday to link my post the linky wasn't there and I was so bugged that I had missed out! There was even a message that said the entering was closed. Okay, maybe I somehow got onto a previous years? Then it said you weren't accepting any comments - I really think my computer was messing with me because all is fine this morning!
Thank you for all your hard work in hosting this festival.
Can't wait to sit back in my recliner and see everyone's quilts.
Thanks for hosting this! I have a couple quilts in mind to make for my mom [she hand quilts the tops that I piece] ... but grad school has gotten in the way of my plans! Hoping to change that soon.
Wow, this is so great! Thank you and to all those that entered! It is great fun to peruse the entries and see all the creativity and inspiration that is out in the world.
Melinda
Thanks again. I'm sure I won't be able to get through all the links - there are so many and they all have other links and ... I get lost in the threads. Lost in a good way!
Thanks for hosting the quilt fest. I just want to say I learn so much from you site, thanks for sharing your quilting secrets. (I like to press my seams open too) :)
Thank you Amy for providing this wonderful show of quilts. I so enjoy getting around to see as many as possible. I first found out about the first festival and was only an observer. By the second one I had made my own blog and was able to participate for the first time. SO this spring I made my second entry. Many thanks for your dedication to this project.
Thank you very much Amy!
This festival is wonderfull! It's awesome to see all the other quilts and read the stories.
Amy, thanks for hosting another Bloggers' Quilt Festival! It's always so much fun, and this time around I even have a finished quilt I can enter. Actually, it's my only finished quilt so far, but I have two more in the works at the moment.
Best wishes from Germany,
Sandy
Thanks for organizing this - and keeping it going for three "seasons". I've been quilting for about five or six years, and I've found that quilting can serve as a form of therapy. It's certainly done more for my mental health than just about anything else I've tried! That's actually how I chose my entry - the quilt that got me back on the path to happiness.
I just put up my link! Thanks so much for hosting this, Amy.
Hello Amy!
This is completely awesome, what you have here. Holding an online quilting festival is too cool!
This is only my second quilt, and I'm super proud of it. I already have three more quilts I'm working on (one pattern does three quilts at a time), and have ideas for at least 4 more in my head. I can't help but get excited! Holding back from starting them all is a hard task!
Blessings to you for all the time you devote to hosting the Quilt Festivals. I just love them and am honored to be a part of a fast growing festival.
Browsing through all the quilters' links gives me such incentive and inspiration. There is so much amazing talent in this world.
Blessings to all those who participate in this fun event.
Hi Amy, Thanks for organizing and hosting this fun event. Going through the blogs keeps me entertained for hours! What wonderful talent and creativity you've brought together!
Hi Amy. Thank you for another fun festival. This is my 2nd one! I love the idea of a quilt show I can go to in my jammies!
Hi Amy,
I did 2 things wrong. First I posted my comment before I made my post. Second I posted the link to my blog instead of the blog post for the festival. Sorry for the inconvenience, and hopefully one day I will get this blogging, and computer thing learned. I am a self taught quilter for about 3-4 years now, and have been blogging since Sept. of 2009.
Thank You for hosting this.
I love your blog.
Renee
Oh my Amy thank you so much this will be fun again. Thanks for all your work. Hope I did all that I had to. Hugs Bunny
Hi Amy, I just discovered your Festival and am having loads of fun browsing all the entries! I posted my entry today. Thanks for hosting this, it's terrific.
What a wonderful idea and I'm looking forward to checking out all the great quilts and links! I couldn't figure out how to use the httml code, but did link your site to my post. I didn't have time to make something new for this, but am showing an older quilt I made that had a story and was fun to do. Thanks for hosting this.
I seem to give all my quilts away - I have MS - so it take me a while to to make them - cutting is a big challenge from a wheelchair - I do qults for kids and it seems like every time I get any other quilt made there is someone in the community that is in need of comfort, so I make arrangements to have it delivered - quilt making is my ministry
This is amazing! What a great response this season :)
Let's see...this quilt was my 4th or 5th completed, and I currently have 7 (7?!) quilts in process. I have recently joined an online quilting bee, which has proven to be both a great creative outlet and a source for new ideas and techniques. The quilting blog community never ceases to amaze me :)
Amy, thanks for organizing this and encouraging me to become a quilt blogger! This is so much fun seeing all the beautiful quilts and reading the stories behind them.
Thanks so much for hosting this wonderful event! I am having a great time looking at all the beautiful quilts!
Amy! Thanks so much for hosting this Festival!! This is wonderful fun and it's so great to see what everyone else is doing...
Thanks for organizing this! What a great way to see all of the talent and inspiration out there. So fun.
Thanks once again for hosting this fun event, Amy! Love it!
Thanks so much, Amy, for hosting this festival. This is the first time I've run across it but you can be sure I'll enter the one in the fall ad well. Great job!
A lot of inspiration here! What fun! :-)
A lot of inspiration here! What fun! :-)
Congrats on another successful Bloggers Quilt Festival! ooxx`jodi
I came across this quite by accident and have really been enjoying looking at the quilts. Thank you so much for hosting it...I was not even going to enter till a friend pointed out that it is open till May 28th. I hope you have half as much fun as I am having.
I love reading all the great posts in the new Blogger's Quilt Festival! Thanks so much for organizing this again. It's awesome!
I just added my entry in Mr. Linky.
I don't know how many quilts I've made...maybe 20. I started quilting when my kiddos were little...I wanted to be the grandmother who quilted. I now have 5 grandbabies and one on the way. I just finished the quilt top today for the baby boy due in August.
Hi Amy,
Can't believe I stumbled upon your quilt festival. What a great idea! My entry is very understated. I do hope people enjoy it. Not the traditional quilt but still a quilt that took a lot of time. Thought I would go for something different to the usual colourful cotton quilts.
Claire at whiitecraft
Thanks so much for hosting this, Amy! It's been an incredible experience - I'm a BQF rookie and this won't be my last, that's for sure!
I am not sure how many quilts I've made. Maybe 30? The number of projects on my to-do list? Well, now that is definitely more than 30 if you count my "one day"'s...
I finished my 1st quilt a year ago this month! And have completed 42 lap quilts since then -- amazing what you can accomplish in a year! I made the quilt I entered back in January and it was my first "i designed it" quilt!
Thanks SO MUCH for this ... can't wait to spend some time this week checking out everyone elses quilts!
Amy,thank you for hosting this quilt festival. This is my 1st entry.I'll enter the one in the fall ad well.I didn't have time to make something new for this, but am showing an older quilt I made.I am not sure how many quilts I have made,10-20,but I love the process of planning and making a quilt.

Amy,
Thanks so much for organizing the Quilt Festival. I featured one of my older quilts this time, but I'll definitely be thinking ahead now to which quilt I want to put in the next festival!
Thanks a lot for hosting this Quilt Festival! I love to visit the blogs and see so many beautiful quilts.
I have just posted my entry. I don't know how many quilts I have made, but I started quilting about 15 years ago. I enjoy "playing" with bits and pieces. As many others I have too much in my stash, but I like to make useful things out of scraps. I enjoy every minute I can find for handicrafts - it gives me a lot.
I have you on my blog list. Your blog is great!
Better late than never, right! I just linked! Now, off to read about all the other quilts!
Thanks for hosting this display of bloggers' quilts! I'm sure enjoying checking out all the quilts. The one I posted for the event is one of my favorites simply for its coloring. I heart purple! Hope you all like it.
Amy, it looks like another great festival. Thank-you so much for hosting. It is lovely to see how much it has grown in such a short time.
Hi Amy! Great show again! I've been making quilts for over 25 years, and I don't have a clue how many I've made. I give most of them away, and I tell every person I give one to that quilts are really hugs from me! Thanks for doing this. It's a lot of fun!
First time entry for me, too! Thanks for setting this up!
Thanks for organizing the festival again. :)
Thanks for doing this! Lots of awesome quilts!
thanks Amy! I'm so happy to participate this round~
I currently have 3 quilt sandwiches I need to finish quilting.. Great giveaways! Going to work on a post now:)
Thanks for hosting this festival. I enjoyed the last one, checking every day for new posts. It's really neat to see what everyone else is making and the new trends in quilt designs.
This is so fun to participate in! A couple of interesting things about me, one that may set me apart from the 'main stream quilters' and another that shows how ________ (insert word here- i.e., crazy, nuts, impatient, etc) I am.
First, I am a man... A few male quilters out there, but not many in comparison. And second, I wanted to join a virtual quilting bee, couldn't find one so I ended up starting 3 and then joining 2 more all in the same month. Crazy is probably the word you would choose, right? :)
wow! there's a lot of quilts to check out, next year I hope to have one in this!
I'm a little late to the party.....
thanks so much for hosting this! I would've finished my quilt sooner, if I hadn't been glued to my computer these past few days ;-)
What a great Festival!! I think that I've made somewhere around 150 quilts now in my "Quilting Career" LOL - but several of them I'd never show in a photo! LOL
Hi, Amy! Thanks for doing another festival. It's always so much fun to flip through everyone's links. :)
I've made probably somewhere around 2 dozen quilts. Most of them are baby quilts and I only have 1 of my own quilts in my possession.
The quilt I entered (the Bastille Baby Quilt) is a quilt I made a few months ago for my soon-to-arrive nephew. I'm currently working on a quilt-along using the pattern I made for the quilt.
The quilt I've had in my WIP pile the longest has been there for 6 years. It's for my friend, Michael. For whatever reason, I just can't bring myself to finish it. The top has been finished on it for about the whole 6 years. I just can't finish it for some reason.
Thanks again for the festival!
Hi Amy, I just posted my link. I'm a new blogger and this is my first Blogger's Quilt Festival! I can't wait to go check out all the beautiful quilts in the festival! Thanks so much for hosting this.
Thanks for hosting this again! I'm 39 and have been quilting seriously since I was 18. Before that it was just occasionally helping my mom cut patches for the quilts she hand-pieced. Last year I made a dozen baby quilts and around half a dozen bed quilts. All the baby quilts have been delivered, and half the bed quilts donated to local agencies. Sometimes I think I need more beds!
Thanks so much for hosting this quilt festival. I've spent hours enjoying the different posts and it has provided me with much inspiration.
This is my second time joining in and I am very happy to be a part of Blogger's Quilt Festival Spring 2010. Thank you for hosting this event!
I'm in inspiration over load!
I'm half though all the links. Thanks so much for doing this.
I have added so many ideas to my list!
Hi Amy - no need to enter me in the giveaways (too much fabric here, seriously!), just wanted to say hi and thank you for hosting yet another GREAT QUILT FESTIVAL!! THANKS!!
Finally got my post written for the festival, after and unplanned two-week blog hiatus!
Thanks so much for doing this, Amy!
ps: I used your hand-stitched binding tutorial to put the finishing touch on my quilt!
yeah I finally got my entry in, thanks for doing this, how fun!
Thanks for hosting a FUN event in the quilting world!!!
ok hope my link came through right. just found out about this & luckily i was just finishing up a quilt, so entered on a whim! fun!
Well, this will keep me busy for a few days, won't it? What a fabulous amount of entries - you should be very proud, missus!
Strangely, I've been quilting one year almost to the day!! And I've just counted and I'm working on quilts number 19 and 20!! Okay, so one of those is a doll quilt and two were for prams but still. Not bad I reckon!! Plus number 20? Is my first double bed sized. How I'm going to quilt it I have no clue!!
This is my first time participating and thanks so much for hosting this festival! I've been quilting for over 10 years and have made at over 200 quilting projects, many of them baby and lap quilts for charity. It's so great to see what other quilters have made, so inspiring!
I am the type of person that causes you great frustration. I added a dead link and couldn't remove it so I added the correct link and am going to ask for your help. Thanks so much.
I am Christine of Covered By Design. This is my first full size quilt and is a photo memory quilt for a boy who lost his brother to Diffuse Pontine Glioma,a brain stem tumor, in January. Their parents are good friends of ours and the loss was devastating to all.
Dear Amy, thankyou so much for all the work that you have put into this year's quilt festival and for the fun and inspirtion it provides us all.
I have linked up.
Robyn xx
This is just the best idea ever - I'm getting so many ideas for future quilts.
Looking forward to viewing the quilts!
Hi Amy! I am new to quilting- I have made just 3 baby quilts, and only in the past month, and have been drinking in all the info and stalking amazing blogs like yours to soak up all the tips I can! I absolutely love quilting. My contribution is my very first quilt, and it is set to be donated to the NICU at our local Children's Hospital. Thanks for the Festival, it is so fu to see everyone's creations!
Kristie
Hello Amy,
Thank you for your work for hosting this event.
I have been a seamstress for many many years. But I just recently started making quilt. so I don't have so many quilts finished. But I have so many quilts I want to make in the future. I believe that makes my life happier pretty much.
I should be finishing my book (the one I'm writing, instead I am getting my act in gear about the quilt festival. I have been in writing mode and not noticed it creep up. I will post the entry in my blog later on today with pics.
This is so much fun! This is my first time at participating -- I'm really enjoying seeing what others have done! Lots of ideas; lots of talent.
Amy, you are such a doll for doing this again. I thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
Thanks for the chance to talk about my daughter's wedding quilt. This is fun and these blogs are soooo inspiring.
Hi Amy! I am so excited to be a part of Quilt Festival this year. We "met" last year when you led the zig zag quilt along. What fun that was!! I have finished a few since then, mostly for other people. My festival entry is brand spanking new and I made it just because. : ) It is a family quilt, although my daughter says its for her. She's two, I will humor her.
little bluebell (adrianne) would make a nice feature. her quilts are lovely
519. Joanne- not working!
Thanks for hosting this, I've only been quilting for a year and been very inspired by the entries in the last two festivals. This is my first time joining in!
Wow, I can't believe how many great quilts are here ... how fun!
Thanks for organizing this :)
Hi Amy,
Thanks again for organising the Blogger's Quilt Festival!
Glòria Torra
Hi Amy! What a great festival!
Thanks, I'm going to visit many other inspiring blogs :)
Sorry, for the false start - but here we are.
Thank you so much Amy for another fun festival of wonderful quilts.
I've just linked in. I have already visited some blogs - it's great to see all the projects.
viridian at yahoo.com
This is my first time visiting or participating! Love it! I think I linked to you! I hope anyway!! The quilt it my second one ever! Loving all things sewn!
Thanks for hosting the BQF. Now to look at 500+ entries... FUN!
Thanks Amy for hosting such a wonderful event!
Hello Amy!
Thanks for hosting the Festival yet again! I thought I wasn't going to make it this time but have managed to creep in at the last minute!! Luv........Ann J
What great participation! Thanks Amy!
Amy, thank you for inspiring me to show off my newfound hobby. This is a quilt I made for a long-awaited niece. I started quilting a year ago and have finished about 10 quilts. I have about 100 more on my to-do list, and thinking about which to start next keeps me up at night.

Thanks Amy!
This Quilt Festival is always such a fun time! My list is too long with the number of projects I would love to finish this year! I am hopeful! Thanks! Meg
I love that you do this! Thanks for the constant inspiration!
Check out my post. There are two quilts that I just finished.
Love Bloggers Quilt Festival! Love not wearing white gloves and eating cupcakes with a frothy coffee whilst I browse these amazing quilts! Thanks Amy, count me in for the giveaways!
Hi Amy!
thanks for doing this quilt festival for bloggers! such a great way to find new blogs and see lots of awesome quilts!
Thank you for hosting this wonderful event! I shared a special quilt I made and I am really glad that this festival inspired me to write about the personal story behind the quilt. Please enter me in your lovely give aways:)
such a fun event great job:)
I'm leaving a comment for Denice's Day. She was having a problem linking up, so I helped her. Hope it worked. Isn't this a fun festival!
I just linked up. Thanks so much Amy!
Congratulations on another successful Festival Amy! How many quilts? Over one hundred if I'm counting, but don't ask me to show them all! LOL Still have way too many on the 'to do' list, my head is brimming! And with more than 20 tops waiting to be quilted, and another 20 on the go, I guess I have a few more to go yet! All the more to choose from for the next Festival!
I think I missed commenting! Thank you for hosting this great event again. I know it takes a lot of work!
Hi Amy, thanks so much for hosting this; it's so cool looking at everyone's quilts and reading their stories. I have just put a quilt up and linked to this site so I hope I got it all right!! Fingers crossed!
I am having a great time looking at all the quilts in the festival. You are so awesome to put this together. I finished a quilt in time for the festival. It is a charity quilt, the first of many. I plan to make and donate 40 quilts by my 40th birthday. Wish me luck!
I'm a new quilter--I have one mini quilt finished, have two in progress, and have many more in my head. I'm a little overwhelmed by all the entries, but am inspired by what I've seen! :)
Thanks so much for the opportunity to be included with all these inspiring quilting talents. It's fun to look at all the amazing quilts out there. Thanks for bringing us together, Amy!
I currently have 3 quilts in various stages of completion and more ideas only on paper. I know my quilting to-do list will only get longer as I enjoy seeing what others have made!
I was so excited to finish up a custom quilt in time to put it in the BQF!
I don't have too many finishes under my belt (10 or so?) - would love to quit the "day job" so I could do more!
I am excited to finally be a part of this festival. Thanks for everything. It was so much fun to share my Moda Challenge quilt and remember all the fun my friend and I had as we worked on them.
Hey Amy!
Thanks for all of your hard work putting this together. It's one of my favorite events in blogland! When I first started my blog the end of last summer one of the first things in blog land I did was join in on the fun at your Fall BQF. I love discovering new blogs to read!
Jaclyn
You're such a sweetie for hosting, Amy. I love the festival. It's an event that just keeps giving. I love reading all the blogs and seeing everyone's beautiful quilts. Thanks so much!
Amy, What a great idea! I love the idea of spending the day at a virtual quilt show and never leaving the house! Sandy
Thanks so much for hosting this great festival. Seeing everyone's quilts rounded up in one post is so great, and has already provided so much inspiration (and I've only viewed a tiny fraction of all the wonderful entries!).
I love the idea of this quilt festival and am glad to be able to join in. I'm a busy mom with 6 kids who quilts in her spare time for sanity. I've been quilting for about 10 years, since I had my first child and I love it. Thanks again.
Never enough time or energy to make all the quilts in my brain. Thank you so much, Amy ... you provided me with tons of inspiration and eye candy. I guess I must get to that unfinished pile 'o quilts; Wait until you see my Hippo!
Hugs, Tina in San Diego
whew, I made it! the quilt and the post before the festival is over. Great Turnout and I hope it's not the last. Off now to browse a few quilts.
HI, I just added Elisa's Emergency Quilt to the Festival: http://quilt-o-mania.blogspot.com/2010/05/bloggers-quilt-festival.html
Almost forgot to do this part;-) I am working on my 2nd quilt and my brain is thinking of nothing but that, lol. This is such a wonderful experience and its a blast to see everyone's quilts. coveredbydesign at hotmail.com
What a wonderful idea! Thank you so much for creating a forum for online quilters to share their work.
Amy,
This is the second time I've entered the quilt festival and it's so fun to browse what all these creative folks are doing. I'm quite inspired. Thank you for doing this!
Joyce
How wonderful that so many people put up prizes for the fastival. I can't even begin to count how many projects I have going right now. Some of the things I have currently in process are: 15 table runners due by 7/10, a book bag for a little girl's b-day and 2 giant You Go Girl bags by Tammy Tadd that I'm working as well.
I just love this Blogger's Quilt Festival. I'm new this year, so I posted an older quilt. Next year I will make one just to show off for the festival. Hmm...now what to do?
I'm a little late joining in on the fun, but I keep reading about everyone's quilts and really wanted to show my latest finish. I have a tendency to start quilts more than finish them, but I'm trying to follow through a little better. Thanks for hosting this fun event!
Hi Amy,
What fun this is!!! I'm a little late, but not too, I hope! I loved sharing my quilt and story on my blog. I've been quilting for years, and have made dozens of quilts, with dozens more in the works. Seems there is always a new quilt to make, doesn't it?! And I am inspired by so many quiltie peeps out there. I love to get my quiltie mojo going by spending time blog-hopping or on flickr. Yummy yum yum Thanks so much for hosting this! xotammy
I can't believe I almost missed your wonderful festival. I'm #578 but I got there in time! Thanks again for doing this, I'll pay closer attention in the Fall.
While I got a late start on this festival, I am so happy to be involved with it. So happy that you take the time to get this together for us. What a wonderful way to keep in touch with like minds! Thanks so much Amy.
I love this time of year - hope I win some prizes this year :) :) :)
what a marvelous idea to have this festival--i'm so inspired!! i have made about 15 quilts--mostly what i call comfy quilts--pieced fronts with fleece backs. also have made several foundation pieced wall hangings, along with other wall hangings. the victory garden quilt is my first quilt quilt. am working on a pickle dish quilt--kaffe fassett's design, a flip a coin quilt, two more comfy quilts for grandsons, another kaffe fassett quilt and several baby quilts i want to give to hospital. always in the midst of several projects of one sort or other
This is my second season for the quilt festival!! Yay so fun!!! Thanks so much Amy!!
This is AWESOME!!!! Just discoved this festival and by the same time your blog!
Fabulous & inspiring ideas!
I'm a beginner in quilting, made 5 so far but many more to come!
Pure awesomeness! I can't wait to find some more time to sit down and look through everyone's quilts.
Another great festival! Thanks Amy :) Look forward to the next one - I'm really glad you're vision has taken off...
Cheers,
Christine
What a fabulous idea !
Hi! I am a really new blogger, and I struggled with linking up. I could not figure out how to put the cute button on my blog, but I did put your blog address as a link. I hope that works! I have enjoyed visiting all the blogs, found a few inspirations! Thanks!
This is too much fun. I have no idea if I'll get to even a decent portion of the other blogs, but I'm going to give it a shot. Thank you for organizing this. And thank you for the chance to win such fantastic prizes - as if finding new blogs to watch isn't enough!
Hi! Thanks for hosting this again! I'm a very new quilter and finally felt confident enough this year to enter a quilt. I can't wait to see what everyone else has entered.
I just posted about a quilt I finished last fall. Thanks for helping me jumpstart my new (and dead:)) quilting blog!
Love this idea...I haven't made many quilts but thought I'd join the fun.
Thanks.
Thanks for hosting this great festival. Your last show gave me a whole new direction and I learned so much.

OK after looking at a ton of sites I couldn't resist, I have joined in!
Thanks for hosting this! I've completed about 20 quilts by now? I was hoping to finish a new one for this festival but ran out of the right color thread and time. I have four more quilts started and another two that need to be started!
I think this is a wonderful event, especially for someone like me who has only been sewing for a little over a year! With all these creative people the ideas and inspiration are endless!!! Thanks so much for hosting this!!!
Pam
Yay, I love the blogger's quilt festival! Love that you do this!
I'm a little out of my league but wanted to participate in this awesome festival. So many wonderful quilts to look at.
Thanks for hosting. I love seeing so many quilts. It's such an inspiration to see so many great quilters out there.
Oh boy there has been such a great response to this festival - I'll need to set aside a whole day to surf through everyone's entry - thanks for doing such a great job Amy and looking forward to the next one.
How many quilts have I made?
The answer is not enough!
What a great idea!! This is my first time entering and I look forward to more. I have been quilting for 15 years, have made over 100 quilts and have quilted over 200 for my clients. Thanks for organizing this Amy. From a Northern Canadian quilter.
Yay! I'm so excited to be a part of this. Thank you very much for hosting this, Amy. You're doing a great job!
xo,

Well, I finally did it! Thank you, Amy, for putting this together...what a wonderful way to show and tell with so many others!
I have been quilting a while, but mainly for pleasure and a way to escape. Sometimes, I can turn a little revenue over. My problem is that I allow myself to get distracted by my stash wall, & then have a hard time seeing all my quilts through to their logical (useful) conclusions! There must be a dozen uncompleted quilts in my closet (in various stages - tops only, sandwiches with some quilting, sandwiches w/o quilting...). But, it is always fun to plan a new quilt, right?
2010 found me promising myself to finish off my stack of begun projects, and limit myself in the creating dept until I get all else under control. Ha, good luck to me!
Thanks again for the opportunity and the fun site!
Oh my goodness! Over 600 quilts to look at for inspiration! I am SOO excited. I have already seen a couple of beautiful quilts that have the wheels in my head turning! Thanks for a great opportunity to share and inspire!
My entry was my 50th quilt that I made. My first quilt was for a baby and my 50th for a young lad. So far, I've made 78 quilts with the last one made for a child as well. Quilts and children go so well together.
It is amazing the number of bloggers who have participated this year. Bravo to you for organizing this event!!!
My favorite quilt is ALWAYS the one that I'm working on. And since they almost all get donated to charity...I've learned to love them and leave them in a hurry. But I always know that my love, my heart and the work of my hands, goes with each and every quilt...so no wonder each one is my favorite!!!! I've included my links in my latest post with a photo of my latest quilt...a combination of styles and liberated free-pieced back which I named What Kind of Quilter Are You? as in goes along with a fun description of all of the parts of ourselves as quilters that make up who we are! And you dear, Amy, seem to pull all of us together, several times a year in a fun and awesome way!
Thanks for doing this. I hope I did everything right :-)
Wow...what awesome inspiration!!! Thanks for organizing this.
I have made about 30 finished quilts but have another 50 quilt top "flimsies" ready to quilt and finish. Just keep wanting to make more and more...thanks to all this inspiration.
This is so cool! The quilt that I linked for the festival is actually my first quilt ever- and I just finished it this morning! I guess you could say I finished it just for the festival- I was motivated to finish it by tomorrow at least just so I could share it! I already have a second (baby) quilt sandwiched and about 1/5th quilted- I'm addicted! Thanks for hosting this festival- it is so neat to see all the beauitful quilts, marvel at the creativity and skills and reading all of the stories behind them!

Hi Amy: I am making my first entry in your festival. Hope I don't get deleted. I think I followed all of the instructions. Thank you for this opportunity.

Holy Macaroni! I'm #615! That's a whole lot of quilts. Thanks so much for hosting the festival - it is a lot of fun to see what everyone has been working on.
Recently I was given a couple of quilts that my grandma made decades ago. It's been fun to admire them and have them as inspiration,
Wow - What an inspiration! So many quilts :)
I finally put up my entry! I was trying to finish another quilt, but I have this lovely one to share right now. I can share the other one in the fall.:)
Hey Amy - Yay ... Love your Bloggy Quilt Festival! Thanks for hosting again! Sensational! I'm in!
Cheers

Thanks! This is such a great festival!
I have been quilting off and on for a few years. I have finished probably about 10 or so quilts.
I feel like I have a lot to learn!
Thanks again!
Thank you so much for this opportunity to share our quilts! I started quilting when I was 19 and have no idea how many quilts I have made throughout my lifetime. I have made and sold several quilts and given many away. I have 4 quilts that are mine but they are made with blocks that I have swapped with friends. I have never just made a quilt from scratch just for me. Maybe I need to do that. My granddaughter has 9 quilts and she is only 6!! I learned to quilt through my grandmothers and love everything about it!
What a great idea. Thanks. What is really nice is that it gives me the opportunity too see and subscribe to blogs I've never come across before.
Cheers

Woohoo! Finally got my post up! The quilt that I'm showing is actually one that I designed to take with me to International Quilt Market last week, and it's one of the first that will actually stay here and live with me!
