Handwerkdagen

Op het Floriadeterrein in Vijfhuizen werd dit keer de Handwerkdagen georganiseerd. Samen met I. ging ik een kijkje nemen. Het was wel wat kleiner dan de Patchwork en Quiltdagen van afgelopen voorjaar, maar we hebben wel een heel gezellig ochtendje gehad. De buit was ook heel bescheiden. Een paper-piece pakketje, twee stofjes en een borduurpatroon. G.

Handwerkbeurs

M. and I went to the Handwerkbeurs in Rotterdam. These are our finds... On the right, the Civil War Diary Quilt fabrics. We needed some colour in our stash. On the left, Dutch fabrics, for my kaleidoscope quilt. Now that I have these, there are no more excuses not to start this quilt. G.

Van Nelle

Yesterday G. and I went to the 'Handwerkbeurs' at the old Van Nelle factory.

Our goals:
- Buy Kaffe Fassett fat quarters and background fabric for the masterclass I'll be attending in Leeuwarden on 18 November. My goal actually... G. agreed to try and tackle this first (even before going to the loo)... to calm my nerves...
- Add to our Civil War fabric stash.
- And to buy a present.

Reached our goals and a little more - we also bought a small felt Christmas project that we now have to assemble in 1 night. Luckily we managed to avoid the knitting bug - probably not for long. We both loved the multi-coloured socks. No knitted tea cozy in sight.

Some quilts by Nel Meijer - amazing level of detail and colour.

My Kaffe fabrics on the table at G.'s parents... now all I have left to do is cut 1100 squares by 18 November. G. cheerily did the numbers... about 50 a day...
