Bloggers Quilt Festival 2013

So, this is the first year I have entered into The Bloggers Quilt Festival over at


Spring Blogger's Quilt Festival - AmysCreativeSide.com

 If you are new here,  Hello!! and welcome to my little corner of the world.   My name is Amy and I have been quilting for a little over a year.  Last year, I was just starting to quilt and really was completely overwhelmed by the talent I found at last years Quilt Festival.  If you are sitting on the sidelines, like I did last year, don't.  I have met some of the nicest, most encouraging people through my blog and by taking part in great blog hops, parties and now a Quilt Festival.
 That being said, this year, I decided to enter my first quilt of 2013 in the Quilter Photography category.  I have several loves, but some of my favorites (not including family) are windmills, the outdoors and quilts.  So here is my entry....








Quilt Stats:
Pattern:  Beaquilter Quilt a long

Dimensions: 60" square

Fabrics: a huge assortment of stash fabric with a little bit of Noteworthy and Kona throw in .

Machine pieced and quilted by me on my Janome.

Category:  Quilter Photography

Pictures taken in my backyard and the open space near our home.

You can read more about the quilt here.

Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy taking a look at all those gorgeous quilts!

    Great job photographing your quilt! That is always the most difficult chore for me, no imagination I guess! Glad you've joined this fun festival!

    That's a great photo and quilt Amy. If you love windmills you should see this windmill quilt. I know the women who made this quilt and I saw it in person at one of the quilt meetings. It's pretty amazing: http://gailgarber.com/gallery/students-quilts/donna-barntiz-windmill-quilt-resized/
