Last Wednesday I gave another show and tell with my quilts, this time I was invited to a quilt group in Boxtel.
I do not only bring completed quilts to my talks, but also some unfinished quilts or just quilt tops.
One of the tops is an inner city top that I finished in 2018. When I showed it last Wednesday, on the way home I decided to sandwich it soon and start hand quilting. I've done a few blocks now, I like where this is going. So this will hopefully be my next finished quilt.

Yesterday I bought the accompanying book about Johannes Vermeer at the @rijksmuseum Vermeer exhibition.
A beautiful book with 320 pages of information about the small part that is known about his personal live and of course his paintings.
And this modern interpretation of "The girl with the pearl earring" is hanging in our living room for years already. I've been playing with the idea the extract the main colours from this one as inspiration for a future quilt. Not a solid idea yet, but I think I will work on it sometime.

What a great Vermeer exhibition at the Rijksmuseum

What a great Vermeer exhibition at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, I'm really glad I was able to get a ticket for it. Wonderful to see this much of his work all together in one place, very special.
The book about the exhibition comes home with me, so I can study his work some more.

Oh how I love this first opportunity of the year to sit outside in the sun with a coffee.
I'm at the Museumplein right now to meet up with a friend later to visit the Vermeer exhibition.

Recently I was reminded by @betty_prins about a tip from @dordtje to look at the Vinted.com website for second hand quilt items. So I did a search for Nancy Crow and one of the first things that popped up was this German book "Quilt Improvisationen"
It's a catalogue from one of the exhibitions about Nancy's quilts.
Its not a thick book, but for 1 euro (!) + very cheap postage it was worth to order it in France 👍

Woohoo! 🎉🏳️‍🌈🌈 I've been selected to be one of the participants on the @cocmiddennl boat during the next @utrechtpride on Saturday June 3rd. I love this event and we've watched several editions from the side, but I'm looking forward to be in the parade and see the crowds from the water 👍❤️
My hubby is on the waiting list, hopefully another spot will come available for him too 🤞

I've bought a patchwork jeans a while ago and I'm adding some extra flair by sewing several Japanese print patches using boro stitching. This is the first one, more will follow 👍

Finally it's time to reveal my version of the #improvtrianglesewalong, hosted by @quiltsfromtheattic
What a fun ride this was! I have learned so much from making this quilt, because it's completely different from my previous, more traditional work.
The first big thing I learned is the improv sewing technique: just start sewing components, without having a clear vision of the end result. And then ending up with this result, I never expected this to happen.
Also new to me was machine quilting this quilt on my #janome6700p. I wanted to add some movement and a bit of drama in my quilting, so I chose to make curves and echo quilt those lines. For this I've used my walking foot on the machine, and steered the quilt by hand while sewing. I'm really pleased with the result.
And to add extra interest, I added hand stitching, based on a technique that @carolina_oneto used in one of her online courses. In the purple area the stitching is visible, in the yellow and red area its more subtle, but I like that it's only visible when you see the quilt upclose.
Thank you very much Nicholas @quiltsfromtheattic and Rachel @craftymonkies for teaching this technique, I am very pleased with how this turned out ❤️

What a lovely surprise to see my quilt published in the latest issue of Quiltnieuws magazine from our Dutch quilters guild @quiltersgilde_nl
I made this quilt in 2014 for the 50th wedding anniversary of our parents. My parents both passed away and the quilt is in my own collection again.

I'm not quite finished yet with my handstitching, so binding the #improvtrianglesewalong quilt (@quiltsfromtheattic) will happen later. But I did decide on a fabric that I'm going to use for that. I've bought this white and purple striped fabric with a hint of silver added, from the @jacquelinedejonge_becolourful collection for @anthologybatikfabrics, called Magic Stripe Purple. I think it will look fun as a binding, especially around the purple section at the bottom.
You can already see a glimpse of the handstitching that I add to this quilt. I've seen this technique being used by the talented @carolina_oneto in one of her online courses. You add handstitching between your machine quilted lines. I still have a small area in the yellow section left to stitch, and then the red section needs some details.

Machine quilting my #improvtrianglesewalong quilt

Machine quilting my #improvtrianglesewalong quilt (you know, the sewalong by @quiltsfromtheattic) is going pretty well, I will finish that somewhere this weekend I guess.
So my order of these three colours of no.8 @wonderfilspecialtythread Perle Cotton hand quilting thread arrived perfectly on time. I will use these to add some extra detail between my machine quilted lines. Thanks for sending them @dequiltster ❤️

Last week a colleague asked me if I was interested in a sewing machine. She got it years ago from a family member, but it was in her cupboard and never used, so she wanted to get rid of it.
Yesterday she gave it to me and look at this beauty 😍 It's an Elna toy sewing machine, complete in an iron case with the instruction manual in it. You can see it's an old machine (the manual has 1959 printed in it), but the overall condition is very good.
It's a lovely addition to my "collection" of children sewing machines in the window.

Tonight I started machine quilting my quilt from the #improvtrianglesewalong by @quiltsfromtheattic
I'm quilting on a regular sewing machine, my Janome MC6700P, using my walking foot.
I started in the yellow area with circles, I love how this looks so far.

That's it: I just finished sewing the top for my #improvtrianglesewalong by @quiltsfromtheattic
What a fun journey this was! I love how this one came together, I'm very pleased with the result. The way the background colours flow in the quilt is exactly what I had in mind.
I already have sort of a vision in mind for the machine quilting, more on that later of course.

Today I've finished sewing my triangle blocks for the #improvtrianglesewalong by @quiltsfromtheattic into slabs.
And I also managed to sew the first 1/4 of the slabs into an actual piece 😍
I do confess: during the process I've had several moments where I thought: how the hell will I ever get all this sewn together? But I'm so glad to follow this sew-a-long and to have participated in the @craftymonkies Zoom workshop, because all I could hear in my head now was Nicholas saying: "don't worry about the entire quilt, it WILL come together"
And I really feel like a magician now, because everything DOES come together! It's so much fun to look at a block and think: do I trim this one to size or do I add some more fabric to make it fit?
Really glad to have this improv technique in the bag, very helpful. This weekend there will be more sewing, perhaps I can even finish this improv top 👍
