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

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 9×13, oh, and the espresso powder is optional, I’ve never used it)
I hope you have a fabulous time at the Quilt Festival ~
