a textile day !

Yesterday daughter and I visited the
"Textiel Festival"
in Amersfoort.



It was the last day of four days stuffed to the brim :
with the presence of all the major textile associations,
workshops, lectures, the results of a competition,
exhibitions through the (lovely old) city,
an Arts & Crafts market and
about 800 "hoops" ("Rondje Textiel")
filled with any textile technique
you can think of !!!

It was a sunny and (too) warm day
so we picked the things we liked most to visit.
I'm sorry to say we just missed "The Red Dress"
because we had to wait too long for a time-slot
but we're happy to have seen the "Colorminds"
and the three "LAK" ladies.
(and of course we came home with some goodies !)

It was a wonderful day !!!
A big THANK  YOU  to the organisation
and all the volunteers who made this possible !

Thank you !

 After a quiet Sunday
a very busy Monday and again a quiet day today
I have time to tell you that we had a lovely Saturday
at the GRIETMARKT !

(ready for the start)

Sunshine, a sweet friend assisting me,
a happy friend in the next stall who had her first try,
lots of nice people to talk to about felting, stitching and painting
and some sales !
We went home satisfied.

A big
THANK  YOU
to the team who organized the market
and my customers !!!

wordless Wednesday

 

ART MARKET Amerongen

Only a few more days from now
on Saturday

I will be at the

GRIET  MARKT

If you are anywhere near,
please come to Amerongen to this wonderful market
with lots of organic products, design and art
to choose from.
And . . . there will be music too !

In addition to my gouache paintings I am also bringing
textile panels with birds, with flowers and with abstract stitching,
and lots of felt objects.

 

Textile jewelry : like the new necklace here,

small felted bags, fish, finger puppets and insects.

It would be lovely to see you there !!!
