Blogger’s Quilt Festival
I’m excited to welcome you back to the Blogger’s Quilt Festival! Gathering and sharing our work, even from afar, is exciting and inspiring. And I always love seeing new friendships formed through the Festival.
If you haven’t participated in the Blogger’s Quilt Festival in the past – Join in! There’s absolutely no restrictions on how long you’ve been sewing or the type of quilt that you like to make – most of all please share what you love. Don’t let the beauty of what someone else has created, keep you from sharing your own project – you never know who you will inspire!
ALL the quilts will be in one spot, in this post. Once you visit a quilt there is a check mark that appears on the photo, to help you keep track of where you’ve been. The linky software I use keeps track of your IP address, so if you switch devices you won’t have the same check marks.
Before we start admiring all the beautiful quilts, I have to thank the sponsors for their amazing prizes, and overall support of the Blogger’s Quilt Festival! I couldn’t do it without them! I hope that you will take the time to shop our “vendor mall” and pick up fabric or patterns for your next project. All the logo images in this post, and in the sidebar, are links to take you to their spaces online – be sure to check them out!
