Twice a year, the quilting and sewing industry comes together for Quilt Market, a huge trade show where companies introduce new fabric lines, tools, patterns, and more, and lucky attendees (quilt shop owners and others working in the industry) get to ogle aisle after aisle of gorgeous quilts, clever bags, and inspiration overload, including a quilt gallery. But if you don’t work in the industry, you’re probably not in Portland, Oregon, right now. Rather, you’re at home reading this post on your computer.
Five years ago, Amy over at Amy’s Creative Side came up with an idea for everyone at home: a Blogger’s Quilt Festival. Twice a year, coinciding with Quilt Market, Amy holds what is basically an online quilt show on her blog, called the Blogger’s Quilt Festival. Bloggers can submit a quilt by entering a link, and anyone and everyone can browse through their own personal quilt show. Pretty cool! The show has grown each time; it now boasts 15 different categories, and there are prizes galore.
Guess who else you’ll find at the Festival? Sew Fine Fabric! The shop is sponsoring the Baby Quilt category with a gift certificate for the winner, and we also have a gift certificate for general participation. We are thrilled to be part of this great event!
If you have a blog and a quilt to enter, head on over and share your talents! Otherwise, grab a cup of coffee or a glass of lemonade, sit back, and enjoy a quilt show on your computer screen: Blogger’s Quilt Festival Spring 2013! The show runs May 17-24 (entries) and then voting runs through the 31st.
