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

New prompt
Elfriede Grooten December 3, 2023 Change of Season,Elfriede Grooten,Musings,Prompts
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

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

No Time
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”

No Time
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

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
