"In Holland staat een huis." (In Holland there's a house)

We have this nice old kids song, "In Holland staat een huis"... In Holland there is a home...
Now I made this house...

"In Holland staat een house"

I think my Dutch fabric quiltje needs a 'house' pillow...
hmmm just an idea... hope it wil turn out...
If it does you'll notice....

Have a good week,

    What a darling little house. I wish I could hear your little song. My grandma used to sing me dutch songs. Fond memories.

    How cute! It will turn out I am sure and the quilt is just adorable it will go with. You have been very busy. Sorry I did not get back to you yet, but yes, I have a recipe for tiramisu similar to yours but make it very simply now in a small portion or we eat too much...lol! I have not been getting around as I have been busy with hospitals. Not fun and I hear news this week for which I have my fingers crossed it will not be bad.

    Hugs en groetjes ~

    My children sing that song all the time. They have been learning it at school in their dutch lessons.

    what an adorable little house! And your Dutch fabrics quilt is inspiring me to cut into my own Dutch fabrics and make something similar...if I can bear to take scissors to them!

    Echt een hollands huis met vrolijke kleurtjes :)
    Zeg, je quiltje is prachtig geworden! Ik kan me goed voorstellen dat je behoorlijk zenuwachtig was om het in de was te steken... maar inderdaad: geen verschil te bespeuren. Zeker dat je niet dezelfde foto hebt geplaatst? (knipoog)

    Hello, Heleen -
    I saw your blog listed on my quilting friend Em's list of favorites. Great job on the Sampler patch quiltje. I always wash my own quilts before I use them... but I usually don't wash the ones I give to other people... I like the slightly "antique" or friendly-used look better than the "brand new" look of unwashed quilts.

    The cross-stich pillow will be nice with the quilt.

    Hi Heleen,

    I just found your blog and fell in love with your quilts. The fabric is amazing, I love the colours and I am going to try to find the fabric where I live but might end up having to order it on line. Your counted cross pillow turned out perfect. I also do counted cross. I will be adding you to my blog favorites.
    Have a great day,
    Elizabeth
