La Rambla
Elfriede Grooten August 15, 2023 Elfriede Grooten,Musings,Revealed Quilts,Transformation
For me, Spain is and remains a very inspiring country. During our holidays we were introduced to “La Rambla”. They are originally dry revier beds. In case of heavy rain, they lead the rainwater from the mountains to the sea. But because it rains very little in Spain, you sometimes

Elfriede Grooten July 29, 2023 Change of Pace,Elfriede Grooten,Musings,Revealed Quilts
A fresh start and a new challenge this fourth round of Cloth in Common. Change in pace! You can go both ways, the slow or the fast! As I wrote in my previous blog, I already made this quilt in 2017.  He is nominated in the category “Fine Art Master”

Elfriede Grooten June 6, 2023 Change of Pace,Elfriede Grooten,Musings
                                       We live in a world where the pace is getting faster and faster.  People are in more of a hurry.  Hardly any time for each other anymore. A few examples. Because of social media, we get a lot of information to process in all kinds of areas at a rapid pace.

Hartelijk Welkom
Elfriede Grooten May 28, 2023 Connections,Elfriede Grooten,Musings,Prompts,Revealed Quilts
Every time it is a challenge, to find a nice concept for a new theme.  This time it almost went without any problem for me. That requires explanation. We have connections with people all over the world. It goes without saying that we help each other, where possible. When people are

La Manga

During the last holiday we visited the south coast of Spain. La Manga del Mar Menor is located in the Murcia region. La Manga is a narrow strip of land with a length of 22 km and a width of 1.5 km. This strip of land closes off the inland sea

The oldest pattern
Elfriede Grooten March 14, 2023 Elfriede Grooten,Musings,Pattern
This new prompt goes from lines to patterns. As already mentioned, a nice transition. A patron in New Netherland, the Dutch colony in North America in the 17th century was a landowner with “lordly” rights over a large area. The pieces of land were called pattern shelves. Within the patronage, entire

Repeats
Elfriede Grooten January 31, 2023 Elfriede Grooten,Lines,Musings,Revealed Quilts
Where does a quilter get his inspiration from, when she has to work on a theme. People are often inspired by nature. While making a trip you can also be impressed by buildings, people, cultures, landscapes, coastlines and much more. With me during our trip to Spain, was the SAGRADA

The Lines
Elfriede Grooten December 20, 2022 Elfriede Grooten,Lines,Musings,Prompts
                                         Today it’s my turn for the blog. Recently I visited the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. I was already curious by the enthusiastic stories of Lisa Walton. The work she made after this fact made a big impression on me. Her source of inspiration was the Sagrada Familia for the theme

Red List
Elfriede Grooten November 30, 2022 Climate Change,Elfriede Grooten,Musings,Revealed Quilts
The red list is an officially established list of plants that are known as threatening in the Netherlands. Since 1950, nearly 500 of the 1536 native wild plant species in the Netherlands have declined in number. More than 40 species are already extinct. ( according to Wikipedia) A similar list

Climate change
Elfriede Grooten October 6, 2022 Elfriede Grooten,Musings,Uncategorized
Hi Quilt Artists, here’s my announcement for the new prompt. It’s Climate Change. The major floods in Pakistan right now are the direct result of climate change.  Global warming has serious consequences for us. We regularly see forest fires, heat waves, extreme drought or heavy rainfall.  We need major structural changes to

Rietveld Schröder House
Elfriede Grooten September 30, 2022 Elfriede Grooten,Heritage,Musings,Revealed Quilts
During this prompt about heritage, I paid attention to Gerrit Rietveld. He lived from 1888 to 1964 and was an architect, furniture designer and graphic designer. In 1919 he designed the red/blue chair, a symbol of “De Stijl”. “De Stijl” is an art movement, named after the magazine of the
