Les Cathédrales
Elfriede Grooten July 30, 2022 Elfriede Grooten,Flexible,Musings,Revealed Quilts
During our camper holiday in Spain, we visited the north coast.  The most famous beaches are internationally known As Catedrais, the beach of the cathedrals. The name is due to the characteristic arched rock formations. Some are broken under the intense activity of the sea.  A visit at high tide can be done

I would like to share my holiday experiences with you. All in the context of the new prompt “flexible”. In May we made a tour with the camper. Spain and Portugal was our final goal.  On the north coast of Spain you have “Les Cathedrales”. A rock formation directly on

Elfriede Grooten June 6, 2022 Cell,Elfriede Grooten,Musings,Revealed Quilts
The challenge of “cells” was a difficult path for me. I saw the limitation in animal, human and plant cells. Which one do I continue with. What am I going to portray.  Finally, I chose the general theme of cells. I wanted to  put my feeling about cells in the quilt. With

Cell-fie
Elfriede Grooten April 5, 2022 Cell,Elfriede Grooten,Musings
A new start with a new theme.  The baby sees the LIGHT of the world for the first time.  Our lives all start with the first CELL. This is a nice transition from the previous theme to the new theme. ….a challenge? Yes, from something very big, wide, always present

Elfriede Grooten March 29, 2022 Elfriede Grooten,Light,Musings,Revealed Quilts
The planet on which we live is going through a major change. More and more often we see large forest fires, countless floods, heavy rain showers and even tsunamis. The cause is global warming. Due to the melting of the ice caps around the world, sea levels are rising. The

Misty Morning
Elfriede Grooten January 31, 2022 Building,Elfriede Grooten,Musings,Revealed Quilts
In November, the day sometimes starts cold and foggy. The world is very small. If you walk the dog or go for a walk in the morning, you will see the contours of the trees, houses and the landscape. The first lights seem to almost warm the village. Slowly the

The beginning
Elfriede Grooten January 10, 2022 Building,Elfriede Grooten,Musings
In the previous blogs I saw many beautiful impressive buildings. But how did it start. What is man’s first enclosure? Essential, of course, is where on earth we live. During our holiday trip in Sweden last year we came to a small town Fatmomakke. It is located in the municipal

Elfriede Grooten November 30, 2021 Anatomy,Elfriede Grooten,Musings,Revealed Quilts
Each trunk of a tree has a different appearance! That makes every tree unique. This is determined by the type, where it stands, how old it is and the weather influences over the years. Bacteria, animals or people can damage the tree. With every damage, permanent traces will occur. The

Elfriede Grooten November 16, 2021 Anatomy,Elfriede Grooten,Musings
….still 2 weeks to go with the theme “Anatomy”. This is a very interesting theme. Your first thought is, what should I do with this now. But the more you engage with it, the more interesting it becomes. I made another mind map. It is difficult to choose between the 3

Secret Thoughts
Elfriede Grooten July 28, 2021 Elfriede Grooten,Faces,Musings,Revealed Quilts
The Faces theme is the first challenge for me in this group. During our holiday I had a lot of time to think about it. First I created a mind map with all the words that came to mind.  I collected pictures and portraits of artists. Kandinski and Rembrandt painted

Here’s my first blog in Cloth in Common. Exciting!! The theme for this period is Faces. Every person is unique and every face is different. With about 7 billion people on earth that fact is very special. As Eunhee says, everyone has a different facial expression. That’s a time recording.
