Last Wednesday I had my last show and tell for 202

Last Wednesday I had my last show and tell for 2023 in St. Michielsgestel at the Regiodag from our national Dutch quilters guild @quiltersgilde_nl
As usual it was a great day, being with a group of enthusiastic quilters, sharing the same passion together.
One of the last quilts I showed, was my current WIP: the #hankyquilt
The top is halfway done, here you see 4 rows sewn together, 3 more rows will be added. You can see the pattern coming to life (inspiration: "Switch!" by @eqptextiles ) and I'm very happy with how this looks.
Thanks for sending me this photo @wietskeweegenaar , it was great to meet you there again ❤️ And of course thanks to @geriesquiltwalhalla for inviting me, and thanks to everyone who attended this day.

According to Spotify these are my top favorite artists, top 5 songs and top 5 podcasts that I listen too...
I listen to A LOT more on this app, but obviously this is my top 5.

For the latest issue of Quiltnieuws of our Dutch @quiltersgilde_nl all the editors sewed a book cover for an article. It could be a favorite book, a notebook, photobook or a diary.
I made my cover in solid fabrics, with these freeform flying geese on the front and a crazy patchwork on the back. I'd never made anything like this, and it was really fun to do.
It ended up in a lovely 5 spread article in the magazine, and it's really fun to see how different and beautiful all the other covers are. Very inspiring!
The article is published in the latest issue of Quiltnieuws 158, available for all members of our guild.

Here's another sneak peek at my current project, the #hankyquilt, with the colorful hanky's that I bought at @gaysandgadgets
I wanted to keep as much intact as possible from the print on the hanky's, so I decided on this pattern. The inspiration for this came from the quilt pattern "Switch!" by @eqptextiles, only my blocks are way bigger.
I've sewn 3 rows together now (out of the 7), so I'm nearly halfway done.

This is me, last Saturday during my show and tell @the_log_cabin_patchwork Thanks for having me Jacqueline ❤️

Yesterday I was invited by @the_log_cabin_patchwor

Yesterday I was invited by @the_log_cabin_patchwork in Hillensberg (Germany) to host my show and tell for a group of around 25 enthusiastic quilters. I had a great morning in Jacqueline's beautiful shop, and hearing the nice comments afterwards, I think the people enjoyed the show.
My show and tells might sound like a world of glitter and glamour 😜, but it's also hard work. Here's a little look behind the scenes.
When I return home, I unpack all my quilts from my 2 Samsonite suitcases and return the suitcases to our basement. The quilts that are on display in our living room all return to their places. All the other quilts (that's actually most of them) are then rolled on large cardboard tubes, until I end up with 3 large and heavy rolls of quilts. I shove a plastic bag on either end of each tube, and stow them away on top of our cupboard. Until the next show and tell, when I unpack them all and get my suitcases out again...
So if you thought I live in a castle where I have all my quilts on display: you're wrong, I hereby busted that myth 😂

Today I received my copy of the @taschen book "Tom of Finland XXL", and boy, this book is HUGE !
It has 668 pages and tells the story of the Finnish artist Touko Valio Laaksonen. His erotic art has influenced gay culture from the 60's until the early 90's.
He is known for his exorbitant paintings of musculine gay men, some *very* explicit and very controversial in those days because of their pornographic nature.
I'm looking forward to start this one, it will be an interesting read. Not for children or the faint of heart 😉

Just a teeny tiny little sneak peek of what's to come. I started sewing the first few blocks of my #hankyquilt and I'm already loving it 😍
No surprise: I did not properly calculate how large my lay out would be before I started, and it will be big... Oh well 😜😂
As you can see, I'm using this gorgeous colourful print by @tulapink called "Fairy Dust". When you've read about the hidden gay signaling code behind these hanky's (scroll back a few postings) you might understand why this print is just perfect for this quilt (apart from the colours, they are perfect together) One of the many nicknames often given to gays is "fairy", so that's why I love this Fairy Dust 😋
It will be a quilt with a hidden theme, I have more planned for this one.

Today I went to the Verzamelaarsbeurs (collectors fair) in Utrecht. This fair is 2x per year and I always enjoy strolling along all the stalls. But mostly I have something else planned when the fair is held, but today I could finally go again.
I bought 2 small kokeshi dolls to go with the larger one I bought a few months ago. The smallest one (on the right) is from @mapoubellevintage
And just before I was about to return home, I saw a beautiful booth with all kinds of art books, and I bought this small Taschen book about the French photographers duo Pierre et Gilles.
So it was well worth visiting again.

Last week I've mainly spend cutting up my 21 coloured hanky's into the pieces that I need for my design.
That's all done now, and tonight I've laid them all out on the bed to decide on a pleasing layout. For now I've come up with this order, starting on the top left and then swaying left to right - right to left - left to right and so on. I think that's how I will place them in the quilt.
But: it can also still change, nothing is decided yet 😜

Since last week the Italian movie 'Nuovo Olimpo" is available on Netflix (at least in the Netherlands)
The story evolves around 2 25 year old men who meet and fall madly in love, but due to an unexpected event they seperate.
In the next 30 years they both hope to meet again.
It's a romantic drama, which I really liked. The story is based in Rome and is beautifully filmed. Another bonus are the 2 very handsome lead actors 😘 I can absolutely recommend watching it.

Today I visited the famous Dutch themepark De Efteling with my hubby @bjo1527 and friends @mishadavids and @marijndavids
We have been to this park numerous times in the past, but the last time was some years ago, so it was time to catch up with the latest attractions.
So finally we rode in De Baron 1898 (dive coaster), Symbolica (dark ride), Max & Moritz (duelling powered roller coaster), De Vliegende Hollander (water coaster/dark ride) and saw the latest fairy tales in the Sprookjesbos.
We only had a slight drizzle of rain after we stepped out of De Baron, for the rest it was dry, so that's great to visit an outdoor park.
So we had a lot of fun together, we might visit again next year when the new Danse Macabre attraction opens.

Ironing some light interfacing on the backside of

Ironing some light interfacing on the backside of my colored hanky's to stabilise the fabric and to make it less see through.
Touching the interfacing with dry hands is challenging, but I'm getting there.
The idea for this quilt is getting ready in my head, so when the extra fabric that I ordered arrives, I can start cutting 👍

Some years ago Dutch quilter Jantje Kupers - de Ro

Some years ago Dutch quilter Jantje Kupers - de Roo and her family self-published a book with pictures of the quilts made by her. The quilts are mostly (all?) made using typical Dutch fabrics, that were used as bedding and pillow cases in the past. The book was only availble through a museum for a short time and later only directly from her. I remember because of their privacy they were not keen on publishing their email online, so I posted about the book on my blog, and all questions and orders I redirected to their family.
Last April mrs. Kupers - de Roo had an exhibition of her quilts at @pourlamourdufil in Nantes, and after that @quiltmaniaeditions published a new version of the book. This new version includes a few patterns for the quilts and is written in Dutch, French and English.
Another new book landed in my mailbox yesterday, and it's this "Objets de Folie" by @suzygmiller @rainham_flowers
This book features beautiful photos of quilts, cross stitches and needlework done by Australian artist Suzy Miller.

Today I had a wonderful day in Maasbracht, at the Regiodag in Limburg, organised by our Dutch quilters guild @quiltersgilde_nl
A group of nearly 120 (!) quilters gathered together to enjoy working and talking together, do a little workshop, shop at @quiltwinkelmarij and have their own show and tell.
After the lunch I was invited to host my show and tell, and it was really fun to do. For what I heard people enjoyed it and liked seeing my quilts and hear me talk about it. A few familiar faces in the audience, which is always nice. Thank you very much José, Ria and Marij for inviting me ❤️
I returned back home safe again after a 1,5 hour drive. Too tired to stack away my quilts tonight, so that will have to wait until tomorrow.
