Looking for inspiration!
Hosta stems! There's colour here too!
A morning in the garden, checking the hostas!
and the flowers!
Time to enjoy a sunny bike ride to
It's a great place to visit!
The Christmas fabrics greet you !
Gossip in the garden is on display!
A quilt full of creative opportunities!
And here is Yvonne's I love Holland quilt!
Specially designed for Het Klossie magazine!
" It has to combine robust linnen and Dutch tulips!
Our landscape is made up of pastures, sheep,
windmills and bulbs!
windmills and bulbs!
And the hearts just emphasize I love Holland even more!"
They should publish an English version!
I'm sure it would be a hit with all the
international quilters!

31st annual Lumber Jack Festival!
In Lage Vuursche this weekend!
There are a few new rules for the wood carving competition!
The Best Dutch Carving Artists!
Amazing what they can do!
With a piece of wood!
and the amount of time given!
Half hour! This is Speed carving!
The other competition !
They are given a set amount of hours!
To create a work of art!
One piece of wood!
Such talent!
A man and his chainsaw!
Quite a bit of kit needed!
How cool is this!
Let's enjoy a few!
The chainsaws!
What makes this weekend possible!
The newest version!
Rechargable battery powered!
This one's easier on the ears!
Let's continue from here, outside!
There's a sculpture garden!
Sometimes, you have to look at things....
from a different perspective!
This piece seems to reach the clouds!
Looking up from underneath it!
Looks like fun!
Here's a bit of information.
It's still being fixed up!
But you can walk over half of it!
We're in a National Park
So there's lots to learn at the visitor's center!
And then there's their hunting lodge!
Complete with stained glass windows!
This would look great in fabric!
Hoge Veluwe has sand.....
and now's the time to see heather in bloom!
National Park The Hoge Veluwe!
Something for everyone!

Time for a drive!
We're in National Park The Hoge Veluwe!
Visiting the Kroller Muller Museum!
We'll see new and old art displayed!
Modern can be so creative!
Imagine this in fabrics!
Stone, metal, accuracy!
Breakfast! Back in 1615 !
I could take a similar photo today!
Cheese is still made the same way!
Remember this name in Art class?
There's quite a few in this collection!
These paintings are quite a good size!
The detail!
We're here! My favourite gallery in the Kroller Muller!
Cafe Terrace at night
We'll wander around
feel the energy!
Check out a few other artists as well!
Imagine this in fabric!
We're in a room with a Picasso!
a Mondriaan, painted in 1913
and with a digital colour boost !
I wonder which one is more accurate?
same here, this one in 1913
Or this one with a digital colour boost?
A painted rose in a glass!
Have you ever tried?
It's so very hard to do!
A 3D piece of art
combined with this photo....
Combines to create this!
A visit to the souvenir shop!
Before exploring more!
Time for a coffee! Something to eat!
