I took a trip with my family to Europe! I insisted on finding at least one fabric shop in The Netherlands!
 |
| Quiltkelder in Putten |
 |
I found the distinctively Dutch fabrics in a basement corner.
A few fabrics came home with me!
|
 |
The top row are fabrics for costumes,
while the bottom row just tickled my fancy! |
 |
And I wanted a few Dutch themed fabrics as well;
I wonder if Dutch women ever use such fabrics in their quilts? |
 |
| "Tiles"--I had to have this print too! |
In the city of Urk I saw a display window with some Dutch quilt projects...
I was particularly fascinated with the cobblestone roads and walkways throughout the country. The bricks are all shapes and sizes, laid out in designs that can change abruptly!
 |
| This was the floor in a restaurant! |
I am excited to get busy with those fabrics, maybe incorporating some of the cobblestone designs into a memory quilt of Holland.
