Maastricht...and Friends- Part 1 of 2

Coffee and biscuits with two incredible feltmakers...

...Kim and Annemie.



Annemie's shop is full of wonderful things...

...the very best in felt books and magazines...
 
...hand-dyed ribbons, merino and silk-blend roving...

...fabric, tools and lovely finished felt pieces.

 
Back at Kim's garden studio, we used carved wooden textile stamps...

...to decorate cotton fabrics.



Here's the hem of my new Hema tee shirt!
 
We also did a little natural dyeing...

...with fresh eucalyptus leaves.

 
A rolled-up wool scarf ready to pop into the pot...

 
...and again, later, in all of its colorful glory! :)

 
While visiting The Netherlands...

...I was lucky enough to get to spend several days with my long-time blog friend, Kim.

Though it was our first time meeting 'in person'...

...it felt as easy as if we'd known each other for years!

Next time: photos of Maastricht, proper...

...and two more artists!
