ST. MARIE AUX MINES

                                               I was at the QuiltShow in ST. Marie Aux Mines.

                                               I saw a lot of people and quilts

                                               I want to share the Jonathan Holstein Quiltscollection.

                                               This collection was In Amsterdam in 1972.
                                                I asked him to sign the cataloge.
                                                He told me that he went to Dutch Musea
                                               and when he asked to show him their Quilts
                                               They told him we don't quilt here
                                               Strange when you see books with antique dutch quilts

THE SHOW OF THE DUTCH QUILTERS GUILD.

               Last week I went to Alkmaar to see the quiltshow of the Dutch Guild.

                     There I saw some beautifull quilts I want to share with you.





 






 

 
 
                                                When I saw this Quilt I thought....
 
 
 
It looks like my antique Quilt.
I can imagine that she made the pieces much bigger.
 
 
Tomorrow I go on the way to Saint Marie aux Mines.
