Inspiration

To give you an idea or help you on your way to create a quilt or (historical) costume or perhaps the upholstery of your interior, we show some examples on this page. The quilts are entirely or for the major part composed with the chintz fabrics of the Den Haan & Wagenmakers collection. From the examples shown on the display are no kits/packages and patterns  available.

                      First of all we show you a painted design of a Tree of Life  on paper in combination with cut and pasted flowers and birds and a flute player.

In the middle the final result of our order to translate the design into a large size appliqué quilt and on the right our shop in Villecroze “L’Arbre de Vie”  ( Tree of Life ) located in Villecroze VAR. The idea was to use as many as possible patterns of our own collection. The result however was the opposite, only the background was made of our tone on tones.

Nevertheless the quilt garnered much admiration during this French period.

When you also have a quilt made with our chintz fabrics, you are welcome to show your work on this page to other quilters.

Because we were not successful in tracing the names of all creators we have chosen for this  anonymous ” bird flight”.

“Quilting is sharing”

The  quilts on this page are depicted without any profit motive other than inspiration.
