This quilt is the attic windows block with kaleidescope centers
I made up a poem to go with the various blocks which my quilter stitched around the border. (you probably can't see it in the picture. I think it would make a cute children's book.
If you go out on Halloween night, this is what you'll surely find:
Ghosts, Monsters, Scary bats
Jack o Lanterns and Big Black Cats
Dancing skeletons, Creep spiders
Wizards, Witches, and Vampires
Spellbound Toads, and Mummies that stare
Go outside, if you dare.
I think I'll just stay inside
and watch from my window as the witches ride,
Across the full moon, what a fright
Oh I'm staying in on Halloween night.

You just gotta love those legs chasing themselves around that square in the attic window. Lovely quilts you have made. I think that you have way too many and it might just clutter your mind so being a kind soul, I would relieve you of your quilt titled "fall".

I'm sorry but you have a few offers ahead of you. Several of my neighbors have already requested it. :lol:

The Attic Window is very cute and fun to inspect each window together with your inventive poem. However, my favorite is Treat Street and I have to ask, is that all applique? From your description is sounds like it is a pattern from a 1995 magazine. If so, could you provide the name of the magazine and issue date? And, if it is a magazine and you are finished with it, I would like to purchase it from you. Please show more detail of the Treat Street quilt. Thanks for sharing.

great quilts!!

pastimesquiltdesign 10-29-2011 09:08 AM

The original pattern was in the Sept/Oct 1999 Quiltmaker magazine. I'm sorry but I don't have the name of the designer. I taught several classes with this pattern so the quilt shops ordered in all of the past issues. I don't have the magazine anymore, just the front cover.
It is done using steam a seam and hand or machine blanket stitching. I added a lot of new costumes such as the dragon, Little Red Riding hood and wolf, postman, hula girl, nurse, soldier, chef, Winnie the Pooh, Ballerina, Bride. I think I found my magazine on e-bay, you may want to try that.

I guess I should clarify I did not make all of these quilts this year.

Why don't you finish? That's the reward for all your hard work.

Sewfine 10-29-2011 04:13 PM

gorgeous.

debcavan 10-29-2011 04:25 PM

Great one person show--I just kept scrolling and all these beautiful, outrageously wonderful things kept appearing. To say I enjoyed seeing them just doesn't describe my joy.

Oh they are all beautiful!!

jackied 10-29-2011 04:30 PM

Love them all, but my favorite is the trick or treaters on the streets.

These are just amazing. You are an incredible quilter. I love your poem (smile) and all the quilts are just lovely. Thank you for sharing.

I do many Attic Window quilts for special occasions. It's a great pattern to feature blocks important to a person. I love the blocks you have. Well done!!!
