This is going to
be a blog entry with a lot of pictures and little text.
Today I went to
the Open European Quilt Championships in Veldhoven.
I’d like to share
with you some of the quilts I saw, there were a lot of quilts to see, all types
of quilts to see, but since I love old quilts and we do not get many chances
to see them in The Netherlands most of my pictures are of these quilts.

Frame quilt, 1900’s and 1920’s, maker unknown
White on white quilt, with red polka dots, love
it!!
And this beautiful white on white quilt has the
strangest name, look at the card!
There is a story here, what do you think the daughter
has done??
Again it is all in the detail: look at this
label!
Beautiful antique quilts from the collections of Joes Meester and Isabeau Reinders
There is so much more to see in Veldhoven, so if you are still going, have a
really good time (I had!) if you do not get a chance to go, I hope you enjoyed
my pictures!

Het zijn inderdaad prachtige quilts. Een bijzonder effect geeft dat, de polka dot en dan zo intensief doorgepit.

Mooi phyllis! Dat is genieten van die oude quilts!
