NEW QUILTS !!

                        

Quilts are beautiful!

Everyone who is making a quilt finds his or her piece realy unique and special! Perhaps it has something to do with the purpose for which the quilt is made or the event where the quilt is received or given as a present. Nevertheless, each quilt is a piece of art where the maker spends a lot of love, enthousiasm and fun in making it!

With that consideration in mind I started to publish my own pattern line under the name: BeColourful. Pattens that are now sold worldwide. It is my goal to inspire quilters all over the world with my colourful patterns. No, it is better to say: It became my passion, but and that is the main importance: It came up by the talent I have received from GOD. I feel myself rich and blessed by Him that I can do this.

How do I start with a design, where do I get my inspiration from, how do I put all the different fabrics together…..everyday I receive these kind of questions by mail or regular airmail. Inspiration for a design happens on a single moment during the day. Whether it is in a meeting at work, or a sign on a truck, an advertisement in the news paper or a magazine, a wheel on a car, a flower…you see, it can be everything. And though you see that the shapes I use are traditional and therefor very accessible. But the use of colours is maybe not so very common, they are different…

I love to experiment with fabrics and colours and to come up with unique combinations. A design is never steady with me. I can always adjust my drawing as a quarter of the drawing is aside me in my studio. Sometimes you have great expectations of a new design along with the colours and fabrics that I planned to use in the design. But once I start to assemble the quilt, it is sometimes not exactly what I expected it to be. Yes this also happens!Because I work on one design at the time I am able to adjust the pattern at any time. Once the quilt is finished and the pattern descriptions are written, I can leave it and start on another design 

It often happens that ideas pop up in my head when I am quilting. Then I go to my fabric stash to compose different fabrics and colours. Also this inspires me to come up with a new design. And those designs leads ultimately to a pattern which you can find in your own quiltstore in the Dutch, English and German language.

May I invite you to enter my website so that I can inspire you and I realy hope that you will enjoy the Becolourful designs!!
