Time to Start Something New

A year has a way of

slipping away if you're not careful.

It's hard to believe

that it's already been a year

since I had the opportunity

to visit the Netherlands.

I was so fortunate to travel with

7 wonderful women from Virginia

and then, even met some new delightful Dutch quilting friends!

Besides touring Amsterdam

and the surrounding countryside, complete with tulips,

we, of course, went to Petra Prin's shop

to do a little shopping.

I brought home the kit for this quilt.

"Clafoutis"

Last week I decided it had 

lingered long enough

and opened up that delicious box

filled with fabulous fabrics and the

beautiful colors of this large Dutch chintz.

It felt so exciting and brought back

sweet memories of my awesome trip.

One block

quickly became 3

then doubled to six.

It's been such a treat working on this.

The only thing better would be

working on these blocks during a "sew day"

together with friends.

Until Next Time-
