Quilts on a Haute Couture Website? No, Thank You! (But Here, Yes!)

Do quilts and patchwork blankets belong on a website about DIY Haute Couture and making Chanel jackets? Probably not. Or do they? Well, actually… no. Quilts deserve their own space—a place where they don’t have to compete with shiny buttons, perfect stitches, or the latest fashion trends. A place where it’s all about warmth, memories, and the joy of creating with your own hands. And that place is here: my brand-new website, entirely dedicated to quilts and patchwork blankets!

Why a Separate Website?
Because quilts and patchwork blankets are so much more than just a "DIY project."
They are:

• Tangible memories: Whether it’s a blanket made from old baby clothes, a quilt with fabric from a beloved dress, or a picnic blanket that lasts for years—each piece has a story.
  
• Sustainability at its finest: Scraps of fabric, upcycling, and giving materials a second life. That’s what quilts are all about.
• Art for everyone: No complicated patterns or expensive materials needed. Just a love for color, texture, and craftsmanship.

On my new website, you’ll find only quilts and patchwork blankets—no distractions, no fashion, no "shoulds." Just inspiration, stories, and the most beautiful handmade blankets you can imagine.


What Can You Expect?

• A blog full of stories: About how blankets come to life, the fabrics I use, and how you can get started yourself. (Note: The website is in Dutch, but you can easily translate it using Google Translate!)
  
• Home inspiration: How to style a quilt in your interior, which colors suit which season, and why a handmade blanket belongs in every room.
• Guest bloggers and community: Because quilting is most fun when you share it! Do you have a quilt story? I’d love to hear it.
