What a beautiful and lasting tribute to your lineage. Believe it or not, I still have a few small pieces of that navy RJR fabric from the Smithsonian's "Little Sister's Quilt" collection (I may or may not be hoarding every last scrap from that line). Thank you for explaining the process that you used in designing this piece.

I plan on going to Petra's shop one of the coming years (just to feast my eyes ... and shop of course).

It was very interesting to read about your ancestors as my ancestors on my dad's side also came from Holland on the ship called De Trouw in 1659 and settled in the Hudson River area. Most of my relatives lived in various locations in New York State their entire lives. Who knows, Kyle, perhaps our ancestors even knew each other back then :)Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368237913096460512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135277743789532589.post-66828969239888170442023-03-21T05:33:56.599-06:002023-03-21T05:33:56.599-06:00Oh how beautiful!

As for Andy, he should be proud to have your quilt beside his soup! He was pretty popular in Maine during the time that Jamie Wyeth and he were doing each other's portraits. The Wyeth's are Maine's only royalty - LOL.

I had some of that Smithsonian fabric you used for the binding but in a different colorway. Fun to see the "creative contrasts" in your photos. I love that you are honoring your 5th gr-grandmother, Anneke Van Leuvan. My Dutch ancestors also lived in Ulster County, NY--not Saugerties but Wawarsing, Rochester and Marbletown :) Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096467148134599354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135277743789532589.post-88153520625367355992023-03-13T18:40:16.584-06:002023-03-13T18:40:16.584-06:00Lucky you to have Dutch chintz.

I have ancestors that came to America in the 1600's and I just can't imagine what it must have been like for them to travel so long at sea and then arrive in a place where everything is new, even the climate. It just makes me shake my head in amazement.
