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

Winter Cold
Elfriede Grooten January 30, 2024 Change of Season,Elfriede Grooten,Musings,Revealed Quilts
Winter Cold It’s a great honour to choose a theme. Above all, it is very exciting to see what everyone has done with the theme. Like I said, I didn’t want to make it too difficult. Hence my choice  “change of season”. There is another reason for the choice. I worked

Dear members of Cloth in Common, It’s my honor to decide on the new prompt for December/January this time. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. There are so many possibilities. But for once, I don’t want to make it too difficult. In the end, I choose “Change

Secret key
Elfriede Grooten December 2, 2023 Elfriede Grooten,Musings,Restoration,Revealed Quilts
At first, this prompt seemed very simple. But on second thought, I’ve come a long way. My first attempt was to quilt a once dyed piece of fabric and add something and that’s it. But that just didn’t work out. I still had plenty of time and I made a

Butterfly Transformation
Elfriede Grooten September 5, 2023 Artists,Elfriede Grooten,Musings,Transformation
                           The first thing I think of when I think of transformation, is the butterfly. The emergence of a butterfly involves several steps. A butterfly reproduces by laying eggs. Young caterpillars hatch from the eggs. They have to eat a lot and then tear out of their skin. This process is
