 | Block Play (Blokkenspel 2007) 119cm x 107cm (47" x 42") Puzzle Blocks 2006: everyone makes a pattern of a star en sends only the unique templates to the others; they then puzzle out how to reassemble those into a block. Quilt detail. |
 | Twirls (2004) 90cm x 40cm (35.5" x 15.5") A small quilt to fit the window above my front door. A view from the other side. |
 | Tablecloth (Tafelkleed 2002) 162cm x 162cm (63.5" x 63.5") This quilt was designed for the theme '5'. De basic shape used in this tensided tablecloth for a round table is the fivepointed star (pentagram), surrouned by a regular pentagon. These pentagons form a selfreplicating pattern (a so-called fractal), which occupies a large part of the quilt. The remaining space is filled by an unpatterned fabric. Quilt detail. |
 | New Life (Nieuw Leven 2005) 108cm x 148cm (42.5" x 58.5") The white leaves refer to new life ('a blank canvas'), developing in a colorful world. New life also points to the source of the leaves: the white shapes are 'scraps' left over from earlier quilts, brought to life in this design. The Japanese characters were added last to the design and mean as much as 'sapling' or 'young tree'. The echo-quilting around the leaves remind me of a Japanese rock garden. Quilt detail. |
 | De Naaidoos (2007) 76cm x 56cm (30" x 22") Made as a result of my exhibition in quilt shop "De Naaidoos". Quilt detail. |
