One of the really fun things about my job is looking for beautiful quilts. I try to spend time each day looking at quilts online and usually start out by going to a website that I know and clicking on links to see what else is out there. Last week I wound up on a Greek site and found a wonderful quilt. There was a small problem though. I do not speak or read Greek. I can recognize it in printed form but that’s all. I chuckled at the fact that I’d found something wonderful but had no way to check it out any further.
At lunch time I told Joli the story of my beautiful find. She reminded me that some of the search engines have translation capabilities, so I returned to my office and copied a paragraph from the Greek site and pasted it in Google. There was a hot link that said something like “click here for a description of the quilt in English”. I clicked. Guess where the link led me? To Quilters Newsletter! Isn’t that just too funny??
The point I would like to make here is that there is some really beautiful work on our site with patterns and instructions. You might want to spend a while just exploring and see if you find the inspiration for your next project. While you’re at it, like us on Facebook and see all our latest news.
Great job – everyones dream.
So maybe you could post a picture of this wonderful quilt!!
Funny Story…and a picture of the quilt…or a link…would be nice.
The name of the quilt is Card Trick Tumble. We did include a link so you can look at it. If you’ll click on the words “Quilters Newsletter” at the bottom of the second paragraph in the blog, it will take you to the a picture and the directions for the quilt. Enjoy!!
