Our vacation is coming to an end and so I actually like a week at itmemory book would have worked, it did not happen. There are opportunities to work on a theme book in felt and paper under my direction. Let me know if you are interested. Also on the agenda was the princess dress […]
It’s been a year since Dad, the last of his generation, passed away. When only 8 months later my brother, the first of our generation, dies, life becomes very relative.When I work in my book here and now, in the time when we are born, it is only conceivable in my mind that he is […]
Hello dear Annemie, Here is my feedback on courses 1 and 2. I learned to embroider at school as a child and have hardly embroidered at all since then. The first course brought back childhood memories and I was just happy. You explain all the embroidery stitches excellently and answer every question very patiently. You […]
If Mom was still alive, she would have turned 90 today.What she would have been like at that age is almost as hard to imagine as what she would have been like as a child. I’m still working on the textile page, but in honor of her birthday I want to send her a greeting […]

If I remember correctly, Mom embroidered the decal on Jan’s suit. Mom’s gems are generously replenished on the free markets. That was already on the agenda. Searching for how I want […]

Memories of my mother – Part 4
Here’s the start on the cover. Her call sign. The story of this man. Your name, like your handwriting, will be with you for the rest of your life. Or as Neeltje Maria Min puts it: ‘Call me by my deepest name’. I found the Maria amulet in her materials. Mary had a special meaning […]

Memories of my mother – Part 3
Here is the first felted side, all finished. I am very satisfied. As always, my work arises during the process. For a long time I was only with blue (ballpoint pen) in mind, but then the freedom of the artist came to my mind. When I first started embroidering her handwriting, I was impressed with […]
