Wishful Thinking
Elfriede Grooten January 31, 2026 Dare to Dream,Elfriede Grooten,Revealed Quilts
In my dream there is a place on earth of peace, space and love. A place where life is wonderful. A place of perfect freedom and happiness. A place where abundance reigns. A place full of color and sunshine. A place where there is no aggression, illness, misery or sorrow.

Elfriede Grooten January 20, 2026 Dare to Dream,Elfriede Grooten,Musings,Uncategorized
Dare to dream, a theme that creates a dilemma for me. I am a realistic person, who does not chase big dreams and hardly does self-reflection, like Christie. It is a form of recognition, which makes me joyful. Unlike Christie, I am not very impulsive and spontaneously do things that

Nature takes back
Elfriede Grooten November 30, 2025 Elfriede Grooten,Musings,Revealed Quilts,Urban Nature
All my life I have been fascinated by flowers and plants. Yet it is amazing that you are touched every time. The beauty of flowers is inexhaustible. During my pilgrimage from Porto to Santiago de Compostela it happened again. The walk makes all your senses open. I can still conjure

Beautiful Blue Flowers
Elfriede Grooten October 21, 2025 Elfriede Grooten,Musings,Urban Nature
In 2023 I walked a pilgrimage route. It was a journey of 300 kilometers and I took 18 days for it. The route started in Porto (Portugal) and ended in Santiago de Compostela (Spain). During this route, I walked past an abandoned house one morning. The blue flowers I saw

Building Bridges
Elfriede Grooten September 28, 2025 Building Bridges,Elfriede Grooten,Musings,Revealed Quilts
For a long time sexton has been a love for islands. I am fascinated how people lived on an island. If the world around you does not yet exist, you have to live with the materials that are available on the island. During my visits to different islands, I discovered

Today Is Not My Day
Elfriede Grooten July 30, 2025 Elfriede Grooten,Embrace Imperfection,Musings,Revealed Quilts
Today is not my day, Today I don’t feel well, It’s Monday and I have no energy, today is not my day. Why is that? Today I don’t feel well, I can’t keep my back upright and always have to look down. I would like to be as strong as

Art and Imperfection
Elfriede Grooten July 8, 2025 Elfriede Grooten,Embrace Imperfection,Musings
It is a fascinating subject. Everyone strives for perfection. We are sometimes misled, when it comes to perfection.Look at the fashion world. The current mannequins are very tall and thin, in my opinion. Many young girls think that this is the ideal figure! If you are sensitive to this information,

Windmills North Sea ’25
Karol Kusmaul May 31, 2025 Elfriede Grooten,Musings,Revealed Quilts,Winds of Change
When we commissioned “wind of change” I thought a lot about the politicalsituation in the world. The outlook is not very positive. For our smallNetherlands, America is a major player on the world stage. Trust is declining onall fronts.Still, I was pleasantly surprised by the news that a few countries

Revolution
Elfriede Grooten April 1, 2025 Elfriede Grooten,Revealed Quilts,Revolution
How does a revolution come to a standstill? As long as the population walks between the set lines, everything is good. But when there is unrest among the people, it changes.  This can have many causes. Disagree with the decisions of the government. If people don’t have financial means to live

Revolutie vs Rotatie
Elfriede Grooten March 4, 2025 Elfriede Grooten,Musings,Prompts,Revolution,Uncategorized
                                                        Janine has already told us that Revolution and Rotation have a common origin in Latin. Jacque’s poignant opinion has opened the eyes of all of us, I think, to what is going on in America at the moment. At the time, we didn’t know anything about the terrible meeting

Good or bad
Elfriede Grooten January 30, 2025 Change of Language,Elfriede Grooten,Musings,Revealed Quilts
My reaction to the assignment “change of language”.  It was quite a search to come up with a work. First, of course, you investigate all possibilities. The language in its broadest form is already ancient. The first sign of written language comes from about 2400 years before Christ. It is

Change of Language
Elfriede Grooten December 10, 2024 Change of Language,Elfriede Grooten,Musings
It seems as if the themes are becoming more and more abstract and difficult. But in my experience, the longer you think about a theme, the more ideas you get. If you look back in language, what were the first signs of text? Now, that’s the hieroglyphics, which is already
