What are the odds? Some time ago I saw this @alexa

What are the odds? Some time ago I saw this @alexanderhenryfabrics print called "The Gayborhood" on one of my socials, and I immediately loved it. Quilting fabric with drag queens on it: what's not to like!?
I tried to find them, but without luck... These fabrics are not available in the Netherlands, for as far as I know. I found them online available at Joanns in the US, but I could not get an order done, probably because I'm in Europe. I searched on Etsy, but had to pay mostly twice, sometimes 3 times the value for postage alone. So I gave up my search.
Today I had a lunch meeting with my friend @rebekkasd and a private quilt show and tell at my house, and guess what? She got me these 3 prints as a gift (but she didn't know I was looking for them!) How cool is that!? 😍👍🏳️‍🌈
I will give it some time and think about a nice project to use the prints. Thanks Rebekka 😘

We just returned from a performance from @boyswntb

We just returned from a performance from @boyswntbeboys at the @stadskloosterutrecht in Utrecht.
"Boys won't be Boys" is a group of about 100 different players, and each performance a select group of around 9 performers tell their own story about how they see and feel their own manliness and how they present themselves to the world.
Each player performs in his/their own style, so it can be with a song, music performance, poetry, spoken word or comedy, and each evening is different.
We really enjoyed this evening, and afterwards there was a Q&A with the audience and the performers, and we got a chance to meet the performers.
A special shout out to @matslomusic: thanks for your great performance, and I absolutely loved your looks, especially the glitter beard, the earrings and your boots 😍

For those who are not familiar with the @utrechtpr

For those who are not familiar with the @utrechtpride: this is the 5th year the Utrecht Canal Pride was held: a celebration for who we are, but also a protest against the injustice against our LGBTQI+ community. It's a pride float with 50 boats, over the canals in the Utrecht center. Each year around 100.000 people visit this event.
For me it was the first time I was on a boat, and I can't describe how it feels to see all those lovely people on the street cheering, clapping, singing and dancing. The love you feel in the city is incredible ❤️
I was on the boat from @cocmiddennl COC Midden Nederland, and I'm a member of this great organisation. It was great to see all divisions of the organisation represented on the boat, all ages and all genders were mixed, and we had so much fun together.
Thank you very much to all the people who organised this great event, all the volunteers, the board of COC Midden Nederland and the members who joined us on the boat, and of course all the people who watched and partied on the streets and wharfs. Today was an unforgettable party! 🌈❤️

The last couple of days I've been sewing the binding to my #adamandstevequilt
I'm using the same fabric as the backing, because there was plenty left to make the binding and 2 hanging sleeves. One on top and an extra on the bottom for when I want to add an extra slat of wood for more stability.
I only need to sew the top sleeve by hand and make a label and then it's finished. And I always love it when my mitered corners turn out beautiful 😍

I just picked up the latest issue of Quiltnieuws (no. 156) from our mailbox. Quiltnieuws is the magazine from our Dutch guild @quiltersgilde_nl and it's published 4x per year.
I was asked to write an article about making my improv triangle quilt, that I made during the sewalong organised by Nicholas Ball @quiltsfromtheattic
In this article I describe how it was for me as a traditional quilter to work on an improv quilt. So there's no description of the used techniques: for that you'll have to read Nicholas' book or follow a sewalong.
It was fun to write the article and see it in print here, and I hope the readers will like it.
I'm sure more articles will follow... 😉

Tonight we watched "Potato Dreams of America", a movie based on a true story, about a young boy who lives in Russia with his divorced mother, who fears joining the army and dreams of a live in the US.
It's not a big Hollywood production, but a very nice and funny movie to watch. Fun to see Jonathan Bennett and Lea DeLaria playing completely different roles then what I know from them.
The screening was a special occasion for the start of Pride Week in Parnassos here in Utrecht, and was in cooperation with @queerfilmfestivalutrecht

Ehm, @postnl, do you even deliver packages on this national holiday? How is it possible that I get this message in your official app that delivery wasn't possible (2 people at home) and now it's being delivered at an external location. Do you even work today and if so: did you even try!?

Two new items arrived in the mail the last couple

Two new items arrived in the mail the last couple of days.
First one is the new book by Teresa Duryea Wong @third_floor_quilts "Sewing & Survival Native American Quilts from 1880 - 2022". As you may remember, I've been to Teresa's lecture about this subject during Quiltfestival Houston last November and it was a very interesting, and to me eye opening lecture. Teresa told us she was writing a new book about her research, and this is the result of it. The book is available through her own website and highly recommended: https://teresaduryeawong.com/
Thank for very much Teresa for all your effort to be able to send the book to the Netherlands, I really appreciate it ❤️
Second item is this Classic Curves Ruler by Color Girl Quilts @colorgirlquilts
I want to tackle sewing curves on my sewing machine (I've done them by hand in the past) and I was looking for a template to make drunkards path blocks. But with a template you're mostly restricted to one size. But then I saw this ruler, that gives you the option to cut and sew several sizes.
I have some other jobs that need finishing first, but I'm looking forward to start using this ruler. Thanks @nannocreative for sending it so quick!

This afternoon I picked up my #adamandstevequilt from the long arm quilter.
The size of this top was too big for me to handquilt, and my own machine quilting skills are not at a level that I trust myself to do it on my domestic sewing machine.
So I asked Elly Prins @machinequilting in Zoetermeer if she was up for this job, and we discussed the possibilities. Elly suggested and asked me, because the top is pretty crazy and fun, if I was open to some fun and crazy quiltwork. She showed me several examples of what she meant by that, and I agreed to give her full control of the quilting, with of course a few do's and don'ts which we discussed.
So I was very excited to see the end result, and it looks gorgeous! Quiltwork is mostly hard to photograph, because it looks way better in real life, but here are some details.
Around Adam and Steve Elly quilted freehand feathers, and the rest of the center is filled with all kinds of filler motifs, which intertwine perfect 👌
The outside border is also filled with different motifs, I really love how they all work together. It really makes you look at this quilt, because every time you see something different: flowers, swirls, pebbles, bricks, triangles, McTavish, you name it...
Elly really did a fantastic job, never in a million years could I have done this myself ❤️
For the backing we picked this red fabric with bandanas printed on it, because the red fits perfect with the front. Those who are familiar with gay culture and history from the 70's and 80's and the hanky code, will know why this print is perfect for this quilt 😉👍@benmillett
So now I only need to trim the edges and sew the binding, hanging sleeve and add a label.
Thank you very much for your great work Elly, you really did an amazing job 👏👍❤️

R.I.P. dear Tina... 🖤I've always been a huge Tina Turner fan, I love her music and energy. In the past I've seen her perform live several times and it was always great: a few times in Ahoy Rotterdam, the opening of the Arena in Amsterdam, tv performance at the TV Show organised by her Dutch fanclub, from which I was a member.
Funny fact: Tina had several farewell tours. When a final tour was over, she was back again soon after, and announced another farewell tour, she kept on saying goodbye to her fans. I've been to a few, thinking it would be the final tour 😊
I'm pretty sure everybody knows who Tina is.
One of my favorite sings from her is "Better be good to me"
She will live on in our memory through her music, which are all classics by now.

Tonight we watched a double concert from 2 of our local choirs, who will both be performing at the 15th Festival Various Voices 2023 in Bologna this June.
First is the gay mens choir @somecanta Cantatori del Duomo, an all men group that exists for 35 years now.
And the second is a relatively new choir DynamiQ Voices, a young queer LGBTQ+ choir, also Utrecht based.
The evening was filled with both their 30 minute performances that they do in Bologna as well, and also some extra songs. I really loved seeing the enthusiastic young choir, great to see the fun they have on stage (just like the Cantatori men)

This morning I took the train to The Hague to visit the outdoor market Haags Montmartre, an art, vintage and antique fair.
I love strolling along the different stalls and see which items people offer for sale.
I knew @bylizgroen was selling there today too, and I finally bought a Japanese kokeshi doll from her, that was on my wishlist for a while now. Really happy with this item 😍

I've been a @kylieminogue fan for years now and we've seen her perform live several times. It's been quiet around her for a while, but her hitmachine starts rolling again with her new single "Padam Padam" which is released today and the announcement of her new album "Tension", out September 22.
The single is a real earworm and I've played it several times already today.

After our visit to the open air museum, we returned to the Stockholm City center for some lunch and to meet up with our nephew @germainvr0 again.
We took the boat for a tour along the beautiful archipel of Stockholm, the islands are beautiful. We stopped at Vaxholm, a lovely Swedish town and strolled around and had dinner together.
