The frotting freule | Artfully sewn together patches
Schildwolde - The prettiest quilt shop in the Netherlands can be found in Schildwolde and listens to the unusual name: De frottende freule. Quilts (you know, those artfully sewn pieces of cloth) are all the rage. Apart from quilts, the shop also sells beautiful fabrics: reproduction fabrics. They look just like antique fabrics, with flowers but also with wonderful patterns. The fabric is new and can hardly be found anywhere in the Netherlands. No idea how to make your own quilts? You can also learn to quilt at 'De frottende freule'.
