The day after....

I woke up this morning with a pounding headache. I guess I realized overnight what had happenend and how important my blog was to me. Funny that you only see that after it's gone.
But, enough whining, let's post to fill this empty void!!
Remember my Dutch quilt?

I put a pic on a Dutch messageboard and it turned out that Martine is making the same quilt. She and I swapped a fabric and now I have a genuine "Staphorster Stip" . It was a bit tricky to rip a square out of an already pinned quilt but I managed to sew it in with, I might add, perfect corners *lol*
(if you check her blog, she  bought gorgeous tone-on-tone chintz yesterday!)

As you can see I even had enough fabric to cut 2 triangles!
The fabric is hand"printed". The people make their own stamps (can be nails in a cork) and the dye is really ón the fabric which is a very shiny black. I love it!


Neighbourfriend C felt very sorry about what happened to my blog and she had a little present for me. Look what's dangling on my purse: a red polkadotted, wooden Matrushka. Its for good luck says C....
