Bloggers’ Quilt Festival :: Spring 2011
Welcome to the Festival! I hope that you have a quilt to share with everyone! Everyone is welcome to join in the fun, and encouraged to enter a quilt. No matter your skill level or how many quilts you have completed, there’s no judging in our festival. So join the fun, make some new friends, and be inspired!
***I know that many of you blogging with blogger, are not able to post due to the outage. I’m so sorry for your frustration, and I’m trusting that you will be able to post before the week is up.
I must begin by thanking our sponsors! Thank you all!! They have been generous and great to work with in the weeks leading up to today. Please take time to visit each of the shops and find a little something special for yourself.
While you hop through the list, let me know if you see a quilter you would like to have featured on my Friday, Festival Feature. I’m always in need of more Featured Quilters!
Ready to share your quilt?
Here’s what you need to do to participate: (Please read carefully)
- Write a new post (old posts will be deleted). Share one quilt, and it’s story. Why you made it, why it is special to you, what you learned about quilting/yourself while making it. The quilt doesn’t have to be brand new, never seen before on your blog – show what you like! Also, please respect my efforts and the efforts of the event sponsors, and do not offer giveaways in your Quilt Festival post.
- In your post, link back to the festival. You can do this with a button, just copy and paste the code into your post, if all else fails.
- Share a permalink to your post, in the linky. Right click on your post title to copy link address, then paste it in the linky.
- Leave me a comment to be entered in the giveaways.
- Visit all the other quilters sharing their quilts and be inspired!
- If you are on flickr, consider adding your entry to the Group Pool, it’s great to see all the quilts in the gallery!

Just to let you know – http://www.blogger.com is down right now for maintenance. Looks like they’re experiencing some more serious problems … so it might take a little while before bloggers with a xx.blogspot.com address can access their dashboards again (therefore – I can’t post my quilt right now … I just hope that the draft will be waiting for me when I can access it again!) Anyway, thanks for hosting this Festival – can’t wait to visit all those lovely quilts!
Always love it when it’s Festival time. Thanks again for hosting!
Blogger is down for maintenance at the moment, figures this happens on the day we’ve all been waiting for! As soon as it’s up and running again I will post my entry. Fingers crossed it’s soon!

Hi Amy. Strange things are happening. My blog post text has ended up in your comment section. Can you pls delete it from there.
I hope the Blogger people are able to get their quilts posted soon. I made my cup of coffee and am excited to see some new quilts!

Wow, you have lined up some totally amazing sponsors this time around. And I can’t wait to get a chance to sit down and look at all the quilts!
Thanks for doing this for us yet again, Amy! It’s disappointing that blogger is taking so long to solve their problem. If it’s not done soon, I won’t have a chance to post until tomorrow. But, at least I can get this comment in for my entry!

Thanks so much for hosting this amazing virtual festival again! I love seeing what everyone has made :)
Thanks for hosting this again this year, Amy. I look forward to seeing everbody’s beautiful creations.
The link to the flickr group goes to ‘old’ discussions & photos – do we just add to what’s already there?
Come on blogger! I want to write my BQF post and then sit down with a cuppa and look at everyones gorgeous quilts.
Oh well the later it gets the more likely it is that that cuppa might change to a glass of vino (its already 5pm in the UK)
ugh, blogger would have to do this to us! Don’t they know today is the start of the BQF?!
Amy, thanks so much for doing this again. I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone else has done, and what fabulous giveaways!
This is my first time for Blogger’s festival. How cool is this? I just wish Blogger wasn’t down so I could actually put in my link. Sigh…hopefully they’ll get it working soon!

Wow, Amy I’m sure this is proof how very organized you are. To be off at Quilt Market and still coordinate another wonderful Bloggers Quilt Festival. Love it.
BTW – I’m #54 and was able to upload but no text under my entry. Not urgent, but not sure if I can fix it on my end, or if it matters.
Have fun at Quilt Market!

Looks great. I am so glad to be participating again. Thanks for much for hosting the festival!!!
Dear Amy, I do my best to link my Quilt for the Festival :-)
And I hope that blogger will run for the next days!
Greatings from Germany and many thanks for the festival

Saw this through a friend of mine, what a beautiful event! Cannot wait to look at everyone’s quilts and read their stories! Fi
This Festival is simply gorgeous! So many talented quilters! Thanks, Amy, for hosting it.
Thanks so much for Blogger’s Quilt Festival, Amy! I can’t wait to get home and have time to browse the quilts. :)
Hooray! Thank you so much, Amy, for hosting yet another fabulous Blogger’s Quilt Festival. Not even Blogger could keep me away. :) And such beautiful quilts!!
I think I panicked a bit when blogger was down, but all is good. Thanks for putting in the time and effort for this fabulous forum to see all the wonderful variety in the blogger’s quilting world!
Thanks for hosting this. So glad blogger is back up. Can’t wait to see the “show”.
Thanks for hosting this great event! I decided to participate last minute and just linked in.
It great to see that there are so many others out there loving this craft as I do.
Thanks so much for doing this wonderful event, Amy! It’s always so much fun to participate!
Thank you for hosting this great event. It’s very exciting.
Love the Blogger’s Quilt Festival. This is my first year and I’m thrilled. I was so inspired last year and from the looks of things, I will be again this year. So much eye candy. Thanks for the great event!
This is so exciting! Thanks for doing this! Someday maybe my blog will be as cool as yours:)
Amy, thanks so much for another fab time viewing all the quilts in the BQF Spring 2011.
And thank you for having me on your site as the Featured Quilter for Monday, May 9th. After our interview, I sort of forgot about it — and even though you reminded me in an email last week, I forgot again! (Now that I qualify for AARP I guess I can truly call it a ‘senior moment.’ :) )
Anyways, I was amazed to see the traffic on my blog, Artelicious, spike, especially in older posts, like “My First Quilt.” Ah-ha! I looked at Blogger’s “audience” stat and saw my name! :) Thank you for giving me such a thrill.
Hugs, Tina in San Diego
I am so excited about the quilt festival! It is one of favorite parts of the year, and I am so glad you started this, Amy!

Thanks for running the Blogger’s Festival, Amy! It’s a great place to find new quilting blogger friends.
Thanks for hosting this again, I enjoy it so much!! I love that you show thumbnails of the quilts here too, having the preview is so inspiring.
WOW! This is going to be another amazing festival! The coming week is going to be soooo inspiring!
Thanks for hosting the Quilt Festival
There is no better way to kick off a new blog by sharing in the quilty goodness! I have shared my quilt and look forward to seeing everyone else’s hard work as well! Thank you for putting this together!

Thanks for creating this festival, Amy! It made me rediscover one of my quilts hiding away in a brown paper grocery bag & let her shine again. Yay!
What a wonderful load of quilts up above. I have added mine to the mix and am having a great time looking through all the featured ones too.
This is so much fun! Finally got my post done and linky in… too bad I have to go grocery shopping before sitting down to click on all the fabulous entries above me. So many I look forward to checking out! Thanks, Amy, for this wonderful armchair festival!
Thanks for hosting this again Amy, it is so fabulous to see all the quilts – I just end up so inspired! My quilt is linked and added to the Flickr group, now I’m off to drool!

You did a great job again. I have a love/hate relationship with the thumbnail part of registration, but after the third time I finally got it right.
You did a great job again. The festival is great and thumbnails make it so easy to find your favorites.
Thank you for doing this, Amy, and making it so easy and rewarding. I am so excited to share one of the first quilts I ever did free motion quilting on. It is a little one, for my grandson’s bedroom wall, but it is special to me! It was part of his Christmas present in this past year.
Awesome! I can’t wait to sit down with a cup of coffee and browse through all these wonderful quilts. LOVE the BQF!
Love looking at all the quilts. The 1st time for me to enter a quilt in the festival.

Thank you Amy for hosting such an uplifting festival. I have enjoyed looking at everyones beautiful masterpieces. I decided to place my newly finished P2 solids quilt-a-long project in the e-Festival. I really enjoyed doing it and I loved the finished quilt. The orange would be my favourite colour in the quilt.
I am so bummed. Blogger has been down and now my computer is having connection problems. What is the latest chance to post?
Thanks for all your hard work on the Festival Amy! Even with the Blogger snafu, looks like it will be a smashing success!
Thank you so much for hosting this again! I have just posted my ‘Authentic 2 x 4′ quilt.

I am a first time participant! thanks for doing this its wonderful to see so many works in one place!
Thanks for the oppurtunity to share!
I was all ready to post yesterday and blogger was down, happy to be here today! All the quilts look so great I can’t wait to check them all out.
I’m super happy to be participating again this year. Thanks for all the work you put in to hosting such a great festival. It’s wonderful to be able to read other peoples stories and check out so many blogs I am unfamiliar with.
I posted about my restoration and completion of a HORRIBLY damaged quilt top (circa 1880s) at http://domesticat.net/2011/05/island-misfit-quilts — it’s by far the most intense salvage job I’ve ever done on an antique quilt top.
It was beautiful, though, and worth saving. It will never be perfect, but the design was original and striking, and it deserved to be used and loved.
Thanks for hosting Amy! :)
I am very excited to participate in this years festival, and am looking forward to see everyones quilts!
Thank you Amy for hosting! I think this is the first time I’ve joined in although I’ve always enjoyed looking at the entries.

Maybe this is where I am supposed to comment. I am unsure about the linky thing you posted in your requirement. This is all new to me. I was refered to your sight by a friend. I am still learning as always.
Any way this is my quilt that I have had in a challenge with a quilt guild a few years ago. I won. But really so did all who participated.
Thank you for allowing us to share with like minded .
Amy, this is my first online quilt festival to participate in(if I am successful at all the links I am more computer literate than I thought). Thank you and your sponsers for hosting it. Now I need to get a cup of coffee and start browsing quilts.

Hi I have entered a quilt in Blogger’s Quilt Festival. It’s the first time I have entered anything and was a little nervous. I have only been quilting since last August and am in awe of the fabulous quilts I have seen. Since entering I have had some lovely comments from people so even if I do not win any giveaways I am happy with the positive response. So if any newbies out there are hesitating to enter – do it – I am glad I did. Thank you for hosting this Festival. Linda x

I love the quilt festival. It gives us all a wonderful opportunity to share. It is a wonderful addition this time that you have the thumbnails – so much easier to preview the quilts.
I love this festival and are glad to participate again.
HI Amy,
Thanks for hosting another wonderful Blogging festival. I finally got my entry up this evening. I think I did all the steps right.
I am off to read about some of the other beautiful quilts. Thanks for celebrating the work of quilters around the globe. There are always some wonderful quilts to see and stories to read.
Regards,
Anna
I’ve loved looking at all the different quilts!! Such color and creativity!! Thanks, Amy, for bringing such creativity together :)

I am really loving looking at all of the wonderful quilts! Have linked up a mini quilt:)
Thank you for organizing this awesome event! I’m excited to participate for the first time ever :)
What an amazing show of quilts. Who needs to be in SLC when we have the best of the best right here?!! Thanks for heading this up again:)
I finished my first quilt last fall, the day before your Fall 2010 quilt festival, and now I’m happy to enter again! Love seeing all the quilts!!
I finished my first quilt the day before your Fall 2010 festival, and I’m so happy to have a quilt finished for another one! I love seeing all the quilts entered!
I could stay up all night checking out all of the beautiful quilts and the blogs that go with them. Thanks for providing a forum to showcase both.
So many lovely quilts to look at. Thanks.
Great Festival! I am totally enjoying seeing everyone’s beautiful quilts! Thanks for hosting! This is my first time entering a quilt. How fun!
Thanks for my first quilt show. I’m showing my first quilt made with Max and Whiskers for my husband. I just started my blog last week. Thanks for your site and your show! Lily.
There are some fabulous quilts out there… Thanks for giving newbies like me a platform to show off what I am making…
Cheers from India
Thanks again for a wonderful quilt festival! This is my second festival and its great fun!
I have loved being able to browse so many other quilts and blogs from here. Thank you for a great opportunity to share our work, no matter what level or type of quilt.

Oh my…this is fantastic!! I am going to visit each and every site on here…but I have to get back to work right now..lol..The quilts are gorgeous….beautiful work and so inspiring….
Thanks so much for hosting this. So many times I just make a quilt, be happy it’s finished and move on. It’s nice to really think about what you’ve learned and sort of re-live the process!
Thank you for offering a place to see “real-life” quilters. Truly inspiring to see what other normal, real people are doing….and know that I can do that too!

So much fun! Thanks so much for doing it again :)
There are not enough space in the “website” field for the entire website address, so have used a “tiny url” instead. I’ve never seen your site before or heard of an online quilt festival – my thanks to my daughter-in-law (QuiltGenius.com) for sharing this lovely site!
WOW!! I am so impressed!!! The quilt I posted is my first quilt. It took me a year and a half to complete (due to procrastination from lack of confidence!!) and I just finished it last week!! The quilts posted are lovely and definitely something to aspire to one day.

Beautiful quilt show- lots of inspiration. I have entered a quilt. Thanks.
Thanks for taking the time and energy to put this together again! I love checking out the amazing quilts! I always add a few more quilts to my “to do” list!!
What a wonderful show!! Thank you Amy for all you do to make this happen! My post is up and now I am going to enjoy visiting all the other bloggers. Have a happy day!

I just linked my post to your blog. I thought I missed it but I am so glad to see that I didn’t. Thanks for doing this. I really enjoy looking at all of the quilts.
Great to be a part of BQF again! I find it a little ironic that the girl who started BQF frro those who couldn’t get to Quilt Market is now a part of Quilt Market herself…
Amy, Thank you so much for hosting yet another wildly successful BQF. It is such a pleasure to peruse such talented quilters out there.
Love the quilts. don’t have a blog…just love visiting others.
So many quilts to look at…almost an inspiration overload! Great idea Amy!
This has been so much fun – my first quilt festival entry! Thanks for hosting this “festival”!
Thank you for hosting the Bloggers Quilt Festival.
I love the Blogger’s Quilt Festival, it’s so inspiring to see everyone’s work. My stash is a bit out of control & I don’t have the courage to count actual yardage as I’m sure the final number would be a bit scary & make me feel slightly guilty.
Thank you for posting this awesome display of quilts. It’s wonderful being able to see all the amazing things people are making in the blogging world.
Thanks for organizing the quilt festival. It’s such an amazing exhibit! I’m having a wonderful time looking at all the quilts!
Just leaving my comment. Added my quilt, hoping to win one of the wonderful giveaways!
This is my first blogger’s quilt festival…so excited!! Thanks for all the fun!
Thanks so much AMY for an AMAZING event!!! Im having such a blast looking through each of the quilts! There is so much inspiration. xx Im off to keep browsing…xx

Thanks for another fun festival! I look always look forward to this! :)
I waited till today to post my quilt, because not only is today exactly one year since I started quilting, it is also my 400th post. The opportunity to have all three occur on the same day seemed too good to pass up.
Great Festival, Amy! Thanks for all you put into this and the great sponsors. Wonderful to see so many bloggers participating.
Hi, thank you for hosting such a tremendously inspiring BQF again. I indulge in those beautiful quilts and stories and am happy to be a part of it:)

I’ve looked at only half of the quilts so far and I’m so in awe of all the talent! I was a bit embarrassed to enter my little quilt but the design is just so adorable and it is the cutest one I’ve made so far, so I just went for it! (Not my own design, by the way, hope that is ok!)
Amy, thanks so much for the work you’ve done for all of us to enjoy.
I just found this wonderful festival and entered one of my old favorites. Next year I will have to plan ahead so I have something wonderful to contribute. So many beautiful quilts!

Amy thanks for hosting this. It is always so much fun. So good to see you at the meet up.
Hi Amy,
I am thinking a lot on signing this festival. For two reasons, one that I do not consider myself a skilled in sewing quilts, the other reason was that the blanket, what I prefer to introduce, is not complete yet. My friend encouragement eventually send to you.
Thanks, and I congratulate everyone

Hi Amy :-) One of your participants had linked up to Sumo’s Sweet Stuff’s Market Yourself Monday. I followed the link to her blog, and then her link to your party.
I have always had this thing for quilts! And now thanks to you I have an easy way to view LOTS of them. Thanks! :-D
I had hoped to link up the quilt I made last spring for our grand daughter, but you very clearly stated new postings only. Aw well.
If you personally would like to see it, you can find it here –> http://thebzhousethatlovebuilt.blogspot.com/2010/06/green-quilt.html.
While I am not participating in your party, I did do a posting promoting it. ;->
thanks for putting this together amy :)

(Looks like you have a lot of track-backs up there in the comments area.)
Thanks for doing this blogger’s festival again. I appreciate the time you take to host us all. I’ve already added about 10 people to my Google Reader from posts I’ve found today. So many great ideas and it’s quite fun to read lots of blogs (so I’m slow at getting around). Very cool Quilt Show!
Having a great time visiting all the sites and looking at great quilts. Thanks for hosting the Bloggers’ Quilt Festival.
This is an amazing event! Looking at all these quilts is inspiring for me. Thank you Amy for hosting the quilt festival once again.

Hello Amy.
Thank you for the opportunity to participate in such a high quality competition!
Thank you again Amy for all of your hard work with the Festival. I love seeing all of the beautiful quilts out there! It was so great to finally meet you in person this weekend at IQF too!
Yippee Skippee for Blogger’s Quilt Festival!!! Thank you for the motivation I needed to pull out an old quilt top and finish it up :) I am so excited for the hours of surfing this is going to provide :)
What a wonderful festival of quilts – I sure hope I can get to all the blogs. I have added my story and thank you so much Amy for orchestrating all of this wonderful. Judy C
Not sure where my comment went – just wanted to say Thank You for orchestrating this wonderful event – amazing quilts. Judy C
Thank you so much for this fun event! I found you from Liz @Living My Sweet Life! I don’t pretend to be in the same category as these amazingly beautiful quilts! But I’m happy to share my T Shirt Quilt that I made for my daughter who is graduating from high school next week!
thank you for hosting this wonderful event again plus the opportunity to win something :-)
Finally got my post up. Thanks again for hosting this Amy!
Amy – Thanks so much for hosting such an awesome festival. I enjoy browsing all the blogs and seeing all the beautiful quilts. I’m so happy I entered one myself this time! Thanks again.
Hi again Amy :-)
yesterday I commented that I wouldn’t be linking up the quilt that I had made for my grand daughter, seeings how only new postings were allowed. Others then encouraged mt to again feature it (in a new posting) and link it up, so I did.
the thing is, even though I have linked it, and deleted it, and again linked it, ten times total I think, I can not get the name to show up. I also do not know how to just ‘refresh’ it.
So-o, my quilt is the unnumbered, unnamed one, in slot #537. the title is suppose to be ‘my thrifty quilt’. And this is the link to it – http://thebzhousethatlovebuilt.blogspot.com/2011/05/my-thrifty-quilt.html
I have started my process of working my way through each and every linked up quilt. What a beautiful task I have taken on ;-> Thanks for making it available for my viewing pleasure. Such inspiration!!
[...] Bloggers' Quilt Festival | Amy's Creative Side Everyone is welcome to join in the fun and encouraged to enter a quilt. No matter your skill level or how many quilts you have completed, there's no judging in our festival So join the fun make some new friends, and be inspired! [...]
Amy, I love the Blogger’s Quilt Festival!! Thank you for organizing it. Last Fall I participated for the first time, and now I wanted to participe again :)) All quilts are amazing!! :)
Hi Amy– Just wanted you to know that I’ve posted in the Festival. Have been out of town and almost missed it!! Thanks again for being so generous with your time and talents. You’re the best!!

(Also, I am 425–not sure if my name is shoping under tha thumbnail or if it’s b/c I am using Explorer. Oy!)
Thanks so much for organizing this! How fun to get to share special quilts with so many other quilters and also enjoy their work too! Wonderful! I’m excited to say that I just created my post and I’m number 549 :-)
Thanks for putting this all together. I love looking through all these quilts each time you do it.
Oh, it’s quilting porn at it’s best – thanks so much for hosting such a smorgasbord of eye candy!

I love this quilt festival…so many amazing entries and inspiration! Everyone is so talented. Thanks for hosting it again!
I just entered! Thanks for organizing and what great giveaways!
I guess I might be one of the last quilts up, i took photos yesterday but they were terrible, so I had to go back today. I felt a bit funny hanging my quilt in the middle of what used to be the busiest street in Christchurch. It was the closest I’ve been to the worst of the devastation and just unbelieveable. I’ve been hanging my quilts on earthquake fences for a while now to photograph, and I guess I’ll be doing it for a whole lot longer, there are a lot of fences in Christchurch… anyway just wanted to say thanks for the motivation to get out there and also to admire possibly the nicest quilt I’ve made. It makes me happy to look at, and we have to hold onto happiness don’t we??
Hugs

This was a great opportunity to see others quilts and to show off my treasured quilt as well. Thanks for letting me share with you and your quilt festival attendee’s and participants.
Awwww, wish I had a quilt to enter this time around, but alas, my sewing machine has been quiet! I’d love to be entered in your giveaway though as you have awesome sponsors as always, Amy :-) Can’t wait to do some browsing through all the talented quilters from around the world!

Thanks for all the eye candy! I always enjoy participating!

I just linked to the festival with Quilt #620 – Thanks so much for hosting the Festival – it is great fun to see all the quilts and read the stories!
Amy thank you so much for taking the time to host this festival. I can only imagine the hours it took to coordinate all the sponsors and drum up the support. You totally rock!! I am so excited to start surfing the blogs and writing down all the fabrics I’m going to need to purchase to create them hehehe. This festival couldn’t have been planned for a better weekend. I’m celebrating my 30th birthday (AGAIN) on Tuesday and I’m going to be getting birthday cash from friends and family so it’s perfect that I’m getting inspired to shop and create !!
Thank you for having this amazing event!! Melody A.
