If you read any blogs written by someone who quilts, chances are you’ve come across the Blogger’s Quilt Festival at Parkcitygirl.
The festival is the brainchild of Amy (whom I’m happy to call a friend) and was lots of fun last spring when she first held it. Amy asked me to design a logo and offered me a sponsor spot in return. Needing, as I do, a deadline to work off, I jumped at the chance to to the job and used her date as the ‘launch day’ for my new venture. All the sponsors are offering prizes and here are the details on mine:
To celebrate the launch of Patchwork Folio, I am offering a complete blog make over to include a custom header, 5 sidebar title buttons, custom background, coordinated fonts and colors, custom favicon and ‘email me’ button. I will work with your current platform (i.e. Blogger, Typepad, WordPress or other) and restrictions may apply depending upon your plan level and options available with your service. If you don’t have a blog but wish to enter the drawing I will get you set up on Blogger’s free platform and include all of the above. In order to enter, all you have to do is click the graphic above and enter your name at Amy’s site.
Lest we not forget the concept behind the festival—my entry for this round:


The Roundabout Quilt. I really didn’t have much choice—I love this quilt.
Now, what are you waiting for? Head over to Parkcitygirl and link up!

I nearly put this quilt up, but went with my string quilt instead. I finished this quilt a week or so ago, and I’ll be giving it to my 10 year old niece for Christmas. It looks so funky and fun and I’m sure she’ll love it. Thanks again for posting the tutorial.

This quilt is so beautiful! The pattern and the colours are just amazing!
October 11, 2009 at 4:18 am |
Your quilt is awesome! It’s one of my favorites in the festval so far. I kind of want to copy this idea.

Clicking on this blog is like clicking into another space–far away from the frenetic blinkers, buttons, bows, geegaws, overlays, underlays, random texturing, lists, places to click, etc. etc. etc. Obviously you know good design and apply it on your own blog. I was happy to note that you are the one offering up the package of design–You seem to be perfectly suited (in my tiny opinion) to be the skilled enough to do it (hoping it wouldn’t be an over-the-top design, and although I like those, I think we quilters could bust out a little and put some of our own ideas out there for our blogs). If you ever saw my blog, you’d know why I admire yours–I always said I wasn’t gifted with the graphic arts gene, but love good design when I see it.Okay–now about the quilt: lovely as well. I’ve always liked the intersection of circular against grid and this design handles that conversation very well. Kudos to you!–ELIZABETH E, #115

October 11, 2009 at 5:54 pm |
I wanted to say again how much I love this quilt. It is one of my favorites out there. I love the pattern of it all, but I think it’s the pattern with these fabrics that I enjoy so much. I’m glad you shared this one again. (No need to enter me for the blog makeover.)
