best wishes and saartje

First I wish everybody a creative, healthy 2012.

In december I went to the vet with my cat Saartje.
She had a cold and became verry skinny.
she had an echo,
it came out that she had a tumour in her intestines( darmen in dutch)
she had her operation the 14th.
You cannot believe, but the next day she was fine, if nothing happened.
they checked the tumor it is cancer.
I don't want any chemo, so I hope the best and
that she will be fine for a while.

Baby quilt made by Sonia Delaunay.

Today the dutch newspaper NRC has an article about abstract art.
It shows a picture of this baby quilt made by SONIA DELAUNAY
in 1911 for her son charles.
It is in Paris in Centre Pompidou.



I wish you all a fine Christmas

Beaver Island Quilt Retreat (3)

When I was on Beaver Island in Gwen Marston's house,
there are Quilts, Quilts and more Quilts.
They are even under the bed.

You see Gwen looking for more quilts.

A little vieuw.

It's a small world

When I was in Michigan we visited a lot of Quiltshops (9)
Our favourite was Delphine's quiltshop,
Downtown Gaylord.
By entering the shop the lady in charge said to me :" I Know You".
She is a follower of my blog.

Yes the world is small.
