Revolution
Elfriede Grooten April 1, 2025 Elfriede Grooten,Prompts,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

Elfriede Grooten November 29, 2024 Artists,Change of Mind,Elfriede Grooten,Musings,Prompts,Revealed Quilts
A new challenge for the project with the theme “Change of Mind”.  In this work I have changed my thoughts several times.  Normally, when I have a new theme, I start with a new quilt.  This time I did it differently inspired by the book, “Double Vision Quilts”  by Louisa

Money Money Money
Elfriede Grooten September 28, 2024 Elfriede Grooten,Loose Change,Musings,Revealed Quilts
 Upon hearing the new prompt, I thought of Abba’s song; Money Money Money Must be funny In the rich man’s world Money money money Always sunny In the rich man’s world All the things I could do  If I had little money It’s a rich man’s world Who doesn’t dream

The Euro
Elfriede Grooten August 27, 2024 Elfriede Grooten,Loose Change,Musings
My grandparents lived through inflation around 1923.  In Germany, where I grew up, we paid with the German Mark before 2002. When we went on holiday abroad, you paid in France with French francs, in Italy with the lira and in the Netherlands with the guilder. You had to convert

Protect our Waters
Elfriede Grooten August 1, 2024 Elfriede Grooten,Musings,Prompts,Revealed Quilts,Water
Water is our source of life, both for nature and for humans. From the free-flowing rivers, which fish and birds need to survive, to the clean water that comes out of your tap. There is a European Commission that protects our lakes, rivers and marshes. Through these regulations, we must

Flooding
Elfriede Grooten June 18, 2024 Elfriede Grooten,Musings,Uncategorized
When I woke up last night, I heard it raining.  Moments later it started to rain heavily. A while later it turned into torrential rain. My thought went out to our garden, given the heavy rain, all the plants should be flat, I thought!  This morning the damage was not

Galaxy
Elfriede Grooten May 30, 2024 Color Change,Elfriede Grooten,Musings,Prompts,Revealed Quilts
This time we are concerned with the change of color. A great challenge!  As everyone knows, black and white are not colors. All the paint has disappeared from the white and black is so saturated that you can’t recognize other colors. White represents clarity, purity, snow, cold, enlightenment, and faith.

Breathless
Elfriede Grooten April 1, 2024 Elfriede Grooten,Habit Change,Musings,Revealed Quilts
A habit is something that you do without thinking. Every human being breathes without thinking. This is a vital and automatic process. But what if you suddenly stop breathing?  With sleep apnea, breathing stops repeatedly while sleeping. When you sleep, the muscles relax, including in the throat. Normally, the brain receives a

Just a habit
Elfriede Grooten February 6, 2024 Elfriede Grooten,Habit Change,Musings
So our new prompt is habit. I had to think about it first. You have the daily habit, such as brushing your teeth or cooking food. Something you do naturally, without having to think about it. I think even breathing is a habit. But also the habits that don’t repeat
