This time about not about textile, but about Texel (there will still be some textile, don't worry).
Texel is an island in the north of the Netherlands. We went there last weekend.
We saw sheep and seals.
I saw two quilt shops (two more than in Leiden) and visited one: De Witte Engel. And bought some fabric, of course.
We cycled. We stayed in a nice hotel. We played games. We saw our favorite tv shows. We read our books and magazines. The weather was great. We had a great time!!!
And we even won a prize: a sausage! Dutch people will probably remember this: Heb je ook wel eens een leverworst gewonnen? (Have you ever won a liver wurst?); a quote from the tune to a children's tv show from when I was a teenager, Theo en Thea. Here's the song... (it's pretty weird!)
