Margeeth from the Netherlands

 Hi, I am Margeeth and I live in the Netherlands. I seriousely began quilting 13 years ago and started making traditional quilts. I am quite fond of scrapquilts, and made a lot of them using simple shapes like this quilt (which was donated to charity):

but I also made quilts like this one:


After a while, I wanted more, so I began making modern quilts. At first I used commercial fabrics,


but soon I was dyeing my own fabrics and doing surface design on them:


This is me:


I am a member of several groups that sparkle my creativitity, like abstract challenge,

the dutch journalquiltgroup Afier, ARTfor12, ArtQuiltsAroundTheWorld, De Uitdaging, the dutch fibermailgroup: 

 and I also have my own blog.

I hope I will develop my artquilting, but I am also still making more traditional work, like scrapquilts, but also a Dear Jane.
