Yesterday again a lovely creative day. Most of the time we are going to Willy’s, she’s living ‘quit central in the country’. For both Emmy and me it’s about a 100 kilometres (That’s almost half of Holland). As ever Willy made a lot of food. The three of us are enjoying these days. As usual a lot of inspiration.

Today we showed each other the finished project. The idea was to make a quilt based on a precious toy of our youth. Emmy’s theme was Playing Outside. As a child she used to play outside ever, with good or bad weather. The circles you see on the quilt represent the four seasons. Of course Emmy embroidered it lovely.

Willy used the theme Merry go Round. In front of Willy’s house there used to be carnival at Quieen’s Birthday (a public holiday in the Netherlands with a lot of fairs and carnivals. Orange is the royal colour). Willy loved the horses on the merry go round and she always wanted to sit on it. Unfortunately she never did. She even put the songs they used to sing as school kids on the quilt.
At the end my ladies. The background was a bit to loud. I treated it with golden painstiks to make de background background again.
’s Middags samen gaan monoprinten. Dat vonden we allemaal geen geweldig succes. De lapjes zien er wel aardig uit. Emmy en ik denken niet dat we het nog ooit gaan doen. Willy gaat nog een poging wagen.
In the afternoon we went monoprinting. We all didn’t like it. The fabric is nice but not nice enough. Emmy and I think we’ll never do it again. Willy will give it another try.
With Willy’s 2CV to the next village to buy some wool, we don’t have something to do yet. It felt like a school trip. A lot of shouting and laughing. It’s a very funny car to drive. Very basic, no dashboard and you can look outside at odd places. But you can drive very hard on speed ramps.
In het hoesje 2 A4’s met Haiku’s. Dat zijn japanse gedichtjes die uit 17 lettergrepen bestaan. De opdracht is om een van deze haiku’s als inspiratie te gebruiken voor een quilt.
Our new assignment came from Emmy. Look how marvellous she made it. In the package 2 A4’s with haiku’s. That are Japanese poems which consists of 17 syllables. The assignment is to use one of the haiku’s as inspiration for a quilt.

What a wonderful collection of art here. I love the merrygoround, but where are the songs? I cannot see them. Such detail. Beautifully done. The outside one is lovely too. Your "ladies" are of a different theme? Where is your toy?
Or are they "paper dolls" perhaps?
I like the colors and fabrics chosen. And the shapes. Very well done.
Your ride sounded fun...and the last little "gifts" bundled up in quilted pieces so beautiful. Do you give each other the fabric from which to make each new quilt piece? Lovely. I hope you post the finished pieces with the printed Hiku poem as well.
Sandra je quilt is nog weer mooier geworden met door het quilten. Echt prachtig. En die van Willy vind ik ook mooi. Ik zou wel willen zien hoe ze deze gemaakt heeft. En de quilt van Emmy is ook prachtig. Dat heb ik ook al op haar blog geschreven
I understand you have a great time together!
I really like your quilts!
Om jaloers op te zijn zoals jullie met z'n drieen werken en spelen! En het resultaat is altijd geweldig. Ik vind de poppen heel mooi geworden.
