Unfortunately, due to slow working officials, he had to delay his flight and will come home in 2 weeks time instead.
To cheer me up my friend Marjolein asked me to come to visit the Dutch Quilters Guild Quilt Show in Deventer, a charming city in the east of Holland!
Of course I jumped at the idea and so we went by train early in the morning. We had a great day, admiring all beautiful quilts hanging in the church, browsing the stands set up by quilt shops from around the country for that particular piece of fabric we needed so badly and a little bit of shopping in the old city center. We took many pictures of all the beautiful colors that seemed to jump of the walls, different combinations and patchwork techniques, all so inspiring!
Ooh, There are so many more quilts I would love to make! It was a wonderful day and at night I dreamed about pieces of fabric and beautiful patterns swirling around in the air like autumn leaves...

So sorry to hear that your DH was delayed in coming back but I'm sure that the retail therapy was helpful. The fabrics you've bought are beautiful; what are you planning to do with them? Vreni xx
