Some tips for a stress-free party: First and foremost, be patient. It may take a few moments for your linky and thumbnail to complete, so give it time. If you struggle with linking up, give it another try, and if you are still unsuccessful, email me and I will try to help. (You will need to send me your attachment and the blog or Flickr info.) You can send it to quiltnsrep(at)yahoo(dot)com, and you will need to bear with me. Remember that I work well over forty hours a week, so it may be that evening before I have a chance to work with your linky!
VITALLY IMPORTANT NOTE: You simply MUST check to make certain that you are not "no-reply" on your settings. You can find oodles of tutorials on the web on how to do it, so I'll not bore you with the details here.
But if you are no-reply, I can't talk to you. I can't post for you. My hands are tied.
So PLEASE if you are not sure, put your email addy in your comment for me!!
This party will go on for ten days, so spread the word to all of your friends. Let's have lots of participation!
We'd love to have lots of shelter pets sleeping on cozy blankies and mats, too, so go to the Padsworth Project page and sew up something quick from your scraps! A picture posted on Padsworth's page will result in three more entries in the drawings!! Wowza!
After you link up in the party, leave a comment saying you did, and then have fun hopping around to see everyone else, and leave them happy comments!
Let's party!!
Love,
I added my link with my pet quilt...this is such fun!
ReplyDeleteI managed to get one of those furries on a quilt this year!! Can't wait for the posts to come in, fun to hop and see all the pet qoodness.
ReplyDeleteDunkin and Phoebe are joining the party. they want to check out the other pets and quilts. Dunkin may want to try another quilt out! LOL
ReplyDeleteJust added my link, this year with an additional cat. No problem getting a shot as the new cat also thinks I am quilting just for her.
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting on this fun event.

ReplyDeleteYou all rock. I come by way of my favorite bunny artist, Michelle from the Raspberry Rabbits, and I just love how all of you celebrate the household pet. BLESS YOU ALL and have fun! Anita

What a fantastic show! I've entered and look forward to seeing everyone else's entries :)
ReplyDeleteGreat fun! Fuzz has been posing all year to get ready for this!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting a great linking party. Something went wrong for me --it just shows a little square but it still links if you click on the small box in the center.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for another great year of Pets On Quilts!!! This is so much fun - and the pets like being the stars for a change!!
ReplyDeleteSo happy its Pets on quilts time - love this linky, seeing as wilbur photobombed Charly's entry last year we gave in and let him have the spotlight this year. He knows how to be the centre of attention!
ReplyDeleteI am linked up with my cat on my cat themed quilt. What a fun party and what cute projects!
ReplyDeleteI entered one quilt, I will be doing a second in the morning :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for this great contest. I'm having fun looking at the entries :)

I've got a favourite cat on quilt photo somewhere so will hunt it out! Such a fun event!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many wonderful entries this year. Thank you for all your work to make this lovefest happen!
ReplyDeleteI love this show. It's such fun seeing all these daft animals!!
ReplyDeleteI agree! I think we need this all year around! Looked through todya's entries during my break at work, and instantly cheered me up!
DeleteHi Jacque, Treacle and I have entered the show, just in time phew!!!!! Treacle was most insistent that we get the entry on!!!!! It has been quite busy here but I got it done. Thanks for putting together a wonderful show and to all the lovely sponsors. Susie & Treacle xx
ReplyDeleteI just entered and linked up! What fun!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea and have entered my Labradoodle, Lila. She is a sweet, gentle dog although a little distracted at times making the photo taking a little bit challenging.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, I have lots of both, quilts and pets. :-) I entered two of my kitties snoozing on one of my quilts. Thanks for hosting this
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled to be able to participate in your oh-so-fun show this year! Thank you so much for hosting this wonderful event!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is my first year to participate in the show. Thanks so much for putting this fuzzy hop together again this year.
ReplyDeleteI entered! https://www.flickr.com/photos/39275733@N06/14805896106/
ReplyDeleteMy photo link is broken. I sent an email to Jacque, I'd love to resend it so it shows up. I'm number 56. Nancy from PugMom Quilts!
ReplyDeleteNumber 61 and 62 were entered for my charity group didn't know how to list them as WOCS entries 60 is for my personal entry.. hope this is OK
ReplyDeleteI entered my 2 quilts. Am number 57 & 58.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed the parade immensely! for some reason though the Flickr photos stopped coming through. I have last years photos and just a couple posts from this year's parade. I love all these sweet animals and their quilters.
ReplyDeleteOne day I 'lost' my 14-year-old Cocker Spaniel, Misty. And all the while, she was right at my feet while I was longarming! So funny I had to snap a picture (#64)! Great photos of all these critters.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderfully fun idea and it looks like you have a lot of great & fuzzy participants! Thank you for the party and the effort you have put in, past, present and future!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea. My entry is a dog themed quilt. It is my interpretation of our 'grandson' Darwin the dapple chi-weenie (Chihuahua x Dachshund)
ReplyDeleteI had to enter the Dogs on Quilt category. Tilly likes nothing better than to park her cute little body in the middle of my quilt when I am trying to hand sew the binding on.
ReplyDeleteMy entry (#68) is a puppy on a quilt category. This is a pic of my 7 month old puppy "helping" me document my quilt. Puppies are sooo helpful .
ReplyDeleteAnd just cuz it was so much fun, my second entry (#69) is also a dog on a quilt category (actually in front of a quilt). This is a pic of Jet the trying, a basenji, at 14 years old in front of a quilt i made for my husband. Jet passed away in May, but he still resides in our hearts.
ReplyDeleteThanks for organising something for our fury family members. It is an excellent idea! Ive just entered a quilt i made for our Harvey dog (dog on quilt category). I look forward to checking out all the entries! Cheers. Jen
ReplyDeleteI've entered my two gorgeous boys, Logan and Murphy, who are modeling quilts I've made. Logan is a quarter horse and Murphy is a percheron cross.
ReplyDeleteSpeedy and I entered also! thank you for doing this! so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI forgot to let you know that I linked up! I did two posts this year, a cats on quilts and a cat themed quilt. I've written down on a piece of paper all of the ones I am voting for and will be ready to enter them as soon as the party closes, is that tomorrow? missysaprons@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI too almost forgot to tell you that I linked up! I did two posts, a cats on quilts and a pups on quilts. Great fun and a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI entered my sweet Deogie (dog) doing her back seat driving while sitting on a quilt. Thanks for a great show.
ReplyDeleteWow - I forgot to let you know too! I was so happy to be able to participate, and then forgot. So many cute pets on quilts - how can anyone choose between them? Thanks for hosting this event again this year - always one of my favorite blog events!!!
