    Hindeloopen Dutch Reproduction

    Hindeloopen is a small town in The Netherlands
     
    Hindeloopen received city rights in 1225 and in 1368 it became a member of the Hanseatic League. Since the 12th and 13th century, shippers of Hindeloopen undertook journeys to the North and Baltic Sea Coasts. ... The shipping trade brought the population of Hindeloopen a great prosperity.

    Hindeloopen is one of the eleven cities of Friesland. It had a population of around 875 in January 2017. It is famous because of the Hindeloopen art and hindeloopen costume & historic fabric designs.

      
    C. 1598 - Courtesy of The British Museum.
     
     
     
    There are two fabrics in the Hindelooper costume that really hit the eyes: the chintz, a cotton fabric with a painted flower motif, and the East Asian printed cotton fabric, with a woven chequered motif. During the 17th and 18th centuries these beautiful fabrics, just like coffee, were shipped from India to Amsterdam by VOC (The Dutch-East Asian trading company). Here the people from Hindeloopen (a small society from the province Friesland in the northern part of the Netherlands) bought a lot of these fabrics for the money they earned on their own profitable trade.

    Each colour in the Hindeloopen fabrics tells its own story. The red chintz, on a white background, was used for the “bruidswentke” a bridal gown. The dark blue and light blue colours were used for sad events, while the multi-coloured fabrics were for general use. All these flowered fabrics are combined with chequered fabrics in the Hindelooper costume.

    I have sources this lovely range of fabrics which are inspired by the Hindeloopen costumes.

    Di Ford-Hall Fabrics - Andover

    Di Ford-Hall’s quilting career began in 1980 with her first patchwork class. In early 1982 she began working at “Primarily Patchwork” in Canterbury, Melbourne, one of the two quilt shops in Melbourne at that time. In a few months she was managing the shop, and, in August 1982 she purchased the business. For the next 24 years she was the owner/manager, teacher and designer of antique and classic quilts. She loved every aspect of the business particularly the teaching and personal contact with her customers. 
    In those 24 years she taught approx 2000 students all the techniques required to make their own Classic American and English Style Quilts, which the shop specialized in. Many of her students went on to win prizes around the world for their quilts.
    Since closing the shop in 2006 and semi-retiring, she has continued her passion for teaching and still designs her own patterns, which are sold in Australia, Europe, the US, and online. 
    In 2010 she was invited to exhibit her quilts in Beijing. It was the first exhibit in Beijing of Western quilts. In 2013 her first book “Primarily Quilts, 19th Century Inspirations” was released in Nantes France by French Publishers Quiltmania. As well as teaching in Australia, she has also taught in France, Holland and the UK. She am currently working on her second book due to be released in France at “Pour l’Amour du Fil” in Nantes France in 2017.

    In 2014 her quilts were displayed in a special Australian exhibit at the Houston Quilt Festival. It was at this time she met with Kathy Hall from Andover Fabrics which started the discussions about her first fabric range. 

    Her other interests are gardening, cooking and retail therapy of the fabric kind. Also precious to her are 4 gorgeous grandchildren along with 2 English Springer Spaniels and 3 majestic horses.

    Brimfield Awakening & Star Quilt

     

    The story began in 2017 with good friends Kim Martucci and Nisha Bouri in America. Tied to the DC metropolitan area for work, they are both members of the DC Modern Quilt Guild and attend the same types of sewing retreats. It isn’t long before they plan a road trip to the May 2017 Brimfield Antiques Show to sniff out some vintage quilty goodness.

    At the show they came across a vintage orphan block....

    It was love at first site. From that day on, their planning began. They knew they had to get this pattern out into the world. What they didn’t know at that time was just how beautifully the blocks would look when pieced together without traditional sashing in between – the two different areas of negative space that would result. So, one diner at a time from Vernon CT down to East Brunswick NJ they plotted their game plan over bowls of matzo ball soup and Reubens. Over the course of the Jersey Turnpike they hatched Brimfield Awakening and the Brimfield Block Quilt.

           

    To make the Brimfield block quilt you will need to purchase the pattern, acrylic templates, and paper pieces for one block or a complete quilt 12 blocks these paper pieces.

    These are the four Brimfield Block acrylic templates you will need to make one Brimfield Quilt Block. They include the Short House, Fat House, Tall House and Orange Peel. The house pieces have drilled holes so that you can further subdivide the house tips into separate pieces.

    See those dashed lines and drilled holes in the templates above? They are there to help you trace the different parts of the house pieces (base or tips) separately onto your fabric. Have a look at the tutorial below to see how this is done.

                             One Block                                               12 Blocks           

      

    The paper pieces are unique in that they have perforation. This allows you the flexibility to create more pieces for additional fussy cutting.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    About two weeks before Kim & Nisha left for International Quilt Market in Houston, they started playing with the Brimfield blocks because, " isn’t that what you do when you have five thousand pressing items on your to-do list?" Anyway they said “What would happen if we removed all the TALL HOUSES and made our block with only ORANGE PEEL sections and add an extra ORANGE PEEL section to make it work?” And the Brimfield Star Block - "BrimfieldBlockSTAR" was born.

     

         

    You can use the Brimfield Awakening Block templates to make the Brimfield Block Star blocks (you simple don't use the Tall House template)

Hand sketched hash tags and a "Create, Cut, Sew, Press, and Quilt" text print superimposed on the classic typing practice line, "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog", complete this clever collection. 

    The Basically Low prints are perfect for pieced and appliquéd quilts, home décor and sewing room projects, wearables, totes for sewing and today's electronic gadgets, and for interesting backgrounds for hand stitchery projects. And, as Helen tells us," the group can also be blended with my Basically Hugs collection of basics and blenders."  To show us how, she designed a pieced and appliquéd quilt that combines herBasically Low prints with the yellow, orange and red basics from herBasically Hugs collection. It's really cute! Visit Helen atwww.hugsnkisses.net for more inspiration and to see her charming quilt patterns, and stitchery and appliqué projects.
