What are we looking for?

It’s always interesting to see the search terms people use to end up visiting my blog. All time high: “stiletto boots” because I remarked on how unexpected a sighting they were at Web 2.0 last year. I gotta admit: I’m really curious to know what would prompt one to enter that term in the search box. I mean, it’s pretty… uh…. specific? Is that the word I’m looking for?

 I also get a lot of quilters looking for one block wonder quilts… and gardeners looking for certain plants.  And then there are the outliers… check it out for yourself.  Fascinating!

My new quilts

They’re finally ready for show and tell.  Four of them. Seriously. I have four finished quilts in my possession.  Unreal!

Here they are:

This pattern is called Attic Windows. I spent a very long time (and even more coin) collecting fabrics for this little project.  The idea is this: there are four-pane windows all across the quilt.  Each four-pane window has a view with a theme… See if you can make out where the windows are, how many there are, and what the theme of each is.

This is the One Block Wonder I described making in an earlier post, but now all quilted with binding!

I don’t know what to call this one.  It was mainly an excuse to buy a bunch of Kaffe Fassett fabric, with a little Jane Sassaman thrown in.  I do love me some bright colors!  This is one of those easy going quilts that you pretty much make up as you go along… It goes pretty fast and is a lot of fun.

And here is the Stack & Whack I made when my mom showed me the technique.  It’s finally quilted and has binding.  Ready for a new home, I think!

It felt so good to get these finished, some of them started their lives several years ago.  I’m trying not to get this far behind ever again.
