Our Exhibition in Berlin November 17 and 18

Here are some pictures (but we respect privacy, 

so we are careful to not show persons too clearly on the internet here).

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this.

My friend and I could not have accomplished anything 

without the efforts on all fronts,

so thank you all!

I loved how a kid reserved a small Macaron-purse for herself...

"Tulani" - Quilt

The name "Tulani" is of African origin and means

serenity, peace, quietness.

I chose this name for this quilt which I just finished because I wish that the future owner might feel just that,

serenity, peace and quietness,

 when he or she uses this quilt to feel cozy and warm.

I just finished reading the beautiful short stories by Tom Hanks ("The Uncommon Type", the stories are really a treat), and towards the end of my favorite story with the title "Christmas Eve 1953" Hanks tells us that Virgil, the main character - who loves to stay extra warm because of terrible experiences in World War II in winter 1944 - goes to bed "after the long day" and covers himself with a "thick quilt".

Well, this here is an extra thick quilt.

There are some knitted squares in this quilt (yarn is 80% wool and 20% polyamide, robust and washable), the fabric squares are appliquéd one on top of the other, all of this giving additional warmth. Also: other than in ordinary quilts the filling consists here of two layers, one sheet is cotton fleece, one sheet is soft corduroy. Plus: the back is warm flannel.

All of this is meant to keep the owner extra warm in winter.

Dimensions are 165 x 122 cm, 64,96" x 48".
Completely made by hand.

(This quilt was made for an exhibition in Berlin in a couple of days.)
