I have been published again, this time in the new Dutch magazine QUILT & ZO Nr. 03
It is with the same quilt that was featured in Patchwork Professional, but this time the quilt has made it to the cover as well, so I'm very pleased.
====================================================
On a note of my colour scheme for my Journal Quilts this year (black, white and a bit of red), here is a funny little story:
I have always been interested in fashion history and I have had this well thumbed book on the subject since my teens.
And this detail of a painting of Nicolaes Maes [Dutch Baroque Era Painter, 1634-1693] has always caught my imagination, she is just so lovely....... but I always wondered about the colours.
Through out the years of internet I have tried to find this painting on the internet and failed...... Until last week! And guess what the colours are:
Black, white and a bit of red.
I have been delighted to see the whole picture, in colour, and I think she is lovelier than ever.

So glad you found her....and as much as I like the b & w....the painting in it's original color is just stunning.
Where did you find this?
Oh, what a one-track mind I have. Congratulations on being published (again). What an honor. I'm very proud of you, but with your talent...who wouldn't be?
If you need help with the translation just let me know ;-)
Hello both, thank you very much.
Marty, I found her googling images of Nicolaes Maes, but it took more than 15 pages before I found her.
Thanks Alison, but Robbie is here, we are doing our C&G, so I do now know what 'gaten' and 'gevorderd' means. :D
Gorgeous picture and what fun that it turned out to be in your color theme :)
Yes, it still makes me smile ;O)
I love the paintings of the Dutch Masters - Vermeer has always been one of my favourites.
Many congratulations.
Thank you so much vernie :D
