Dutch Fabrics


Look what came in the mail today! My daughter sent me these Dutch fabrics. Early one morning I got an email with a photo saying - hey mom, we passed this quilt shop in Amsterdam. Do you want me to get you anything?
Do I!?!
I sent her links to my favorite Dutch blogs (see my sidebar) so she could get an idea of what I like and said just make sure it isn't something I can't get in the U.S. Maybe they are available in the U.S. but not in rural Virginia.


I'm so pleased and will ask her a million questions about the shop when she gets home next month.


It looks like a half meter of the red and a fat quarter of the others. A quick search online shows that at least some of it is Josephine by Petra Prins.


I've never had a tree of life panel. So excited to dream about what this fabric will become.

  7. The Dutch chintz is so pretty!! What an exciting package and a super sweet daughter. This fall I was lucky enough to receive some from some visiting Dutch cousins of my Mom. It's not exactly available in Canada either. It's awfully hard to cut into though I've found :0)
