So I tested to make a video-podcast... it was a lot of fun...I never had so many giggle attacks..*s*..you feel like a complete idiot but after a while it went ok..

The first 20 seconds are grey and I don't know why..but it is normal again after 20 seconds so hold on! I will try to inprove some things like sound and light untill next time..but as said..it is just a test.

Again: The first 20 seconds are grey and I don't know why..but it is normal again after 20 seconds so hold on! I will try to inprove some things like sound and light untill next time..but as said..it is just a test.

Aztec-Rose

 
So last week I was at Aztec-Rose where I met the most lovely ladies and they all made wonderful things!

On friday we did the Nora bag and on Saturday the new star-quilt. I totally forgot to take pictures but we had a lovely time!

This is the original star quilt:

On Monday night we had the Caddy workshop.

Here are some of the results:

they all where lovely and we had such a good time! Some of the girls where skeptical if we would be able to finish a bag in just a few hours but they all did!

More pictures soon!
 
 

At Trijntje

The last stop was Quilt Atelier Trijntje van der Horst. She has a lovely quilt-shop with a really cool mix of everything. Some really bold colors as well, which trijntje tried to make me love...

So the fist class there was also the caddy...and boy where they all bright and lovely...!

  
 
 
 
  a group picture:

 

The next day we had a embroidery class for somebody ...so she will be making the box at home..and I hope I will see it someday finished! It was such a lovely lady I had a great day. The fabric with all the sewing-notions on it will be the box someday..

 

The last day we had the scrap-quilt as a class..which was fun...

 
 

Trijntje, Whiche, Akke and customers...thanks for a lovely time...I had so much fun!

So that are all  my adventures from Holland that I will show you....

Next blog posting will be about a really nice new big project that I would love to tell you about!

Enjoy!

The etsy-shop is now open!

The Pink and Barbara Etsy-shop is now online! If you have visited me last week in Rijswijk and I was out of the Nora and The Caddy Pattern, you can order them now online!

Enjoy!

the class..

Hi!

The class was loads of fun and people enjoyed the new exclusive pattern. You can use the bag as a bag or as a caddy for your sewing/knitting stuff. Dorry even sold some extra patterns the next days.  I am making some small adjustments to the pattern and then the pattern will be available in my etsy-shop. Here are some photo's for you to enjoy.

  till next time!

Classes

Hi!

I am giving classes at Quilt it & Dotty in November.

The easy tote:
This is the Easy-tote is going to be on Thursday night the 20th of November. It is an easy constructed tote that is great to have a craft basket.

The diamond-quilt
This class is where your learn the basics of hand piecing but most of all you'll learn the basics of how to make your own designs and make it work. This method will always give you great patterns that will always fit. The class is on Saturday the 22nd of November.

Hope you will join me! Contact Dorry at Quilt it & Dotty to sign up!

Quilt it & Dotty

This august a new quilt shop in Holland called Quilt it and Dotty! It is such a lovely shop. I was there to help Dorry with the opening and we had so much fun.

The weather was lovely so she opened her garden as well so  there was room to sit, have a glass of wine and just enjoy the last days of summer. It was great. We also had some girls showing of some new exiting  products...stamps to use as templates directly on the fabric so no tracing of templates anymore!

I so regret not taking pictures in the the shop, but here are some pictures from Dorry.

 

If you ever are in the neighborhood, go and visit!
