Ik ben terug - I am back. It looks like sickness has hit quite a few bloggers lately - it sure hit me. I really did not have the energy to spend much time at the computer - didn't even get to do much quilting - just some piecing. Hopefully from now on I will get some more time to do some fun things again.

I did receive my book by the author An Moonen "Geschiedenis van de Nederlandse Quilt" or History of the Dutch Quilt. I have been trying for years to buy her previous book which is out of print but no luck so when this new book came out I made sure to order it immediately. From the little I have read and looked at it sounds and looks fantastic.
Aan al mijn Nederlandstalige vrienden - indien je nieuwschierig bent naar het verhaal achter de quilt hier in de Nederlanden dan kan ik jullie dit boek van harte aanraden. Er staan prachtige foto's in van quilts - kledij maar ook van schilderijen enz. In één woord een boek dat in onze bib niet mag ontbreken.
groetjes en tot de volgende keer
greeting and see you soon
Jenny

  1. Oh this looks like it would be a great book. Too bad i don't read dutch. Are the pictures good though? Just that would make me happy!

  2. This is a great book indeed, full of photographs and good reading with lots of historical background. Maybe we could get her to have it translated?
