This kind of board is Ph neutral or acid free and is long-lasting without causing dis-colouring the material you will add on top. You can find these kinds of material on the internet in the States under Davey Book Binders Board, Lineco Neutral Ph (or Acid Free) Binders Board or under bookbinding grey board. I normally buy sheets with a thickness of 2mm (0.07"), 2.5mm (0.098") and 3mm (0.118").</p><p style="text-align: center;">This is the video:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/m_fnaxMbw2w" width="320" youtube-src-id="m_fnaxMbw2w"></iframe></div><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Subscribe to my channel</h3><p>When you like my instruction video's why not subscribe to my channel! You will stay up to date with new video's I plan to publish! </p><p>Can you do this with kids? Yes you can! They just need a little supervision when using the box cutter to cut the grey boards. I have had many kids to my box making workshops together with their moms and they always loved to make their own storage box for their pencils or scrunchies to name a few things.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRHyRE3eLrZRIeyVgtc89iXJN3S1Q8_uYUYVPRYfmVoTpdJtcUU1Ybwe9kG4EvBvoDDN8D1w6PLeCa1ZCpSjRK9220tdiV6QZo5cQ4OXuD9Dnc2ghe40GGPhvICMuFbj-m5ZxgSxg58es/s2048/553568B7-568E-4D14-B38A-ECA43C2560A1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRHyRE3eLrZRIeyVgtc89iXJN3S1Q8_uYUYVPRYfmVoTpdJtcUU1Ybwe9kG4EvBvoDDN8D1w6PLeCa1ZCpSjRK9220tdiV6QZo5cQ4OXuD9Dnc2ghe40GGPhvICMuFbj-m5ZxgSxg58es/w640-h640/553568B7-568E-4D14-B38A-ECA43C2560A1.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i style="color: #38761d;">Groetjes, Hilde</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i style="color: #38761d;"><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://hildehoogwaerts.com" target="_blank">https://hildehoogwaerts.com</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/geckoboxes/" target="_blank">Geckoboxes instagram</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Geckoboxeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11011686887001041744noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575623115300129066.post-11302476251015698792021-01-12T12:41:00.000+01:002021-01-12T12:41:10.297+01:00Nieuwe live online workshop Caleidoscoop Quilt (NL's-talig)<p style="text-align: center;">Mijn live online workshop <b>Caleidoscoop Quilt </b>(Nederlandstalig), op basis van de techniek van Ricky Tims, gaat deze zaterdag 16 januari weer van start!</p><p><span style="text-align: center;">Dit is de manier om nu, tijdens deze lockdown, toch met anderen in contact te zijn en tegelijkertijd een nieuwe techniek te leren.

When I bought my fabrics in Accra - Ghana I often came home with 6 yards of one print. If I was lucky they cut off 2 yards of one print. So the best thing was to go with some friends and split the 6 yards between us. There were always so many beautiful prints available at the markets that we often came home carrying heavy bags full with fabrics!

One of my favourite Bird quilts has flown out of the nest.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was finally ready to let it go...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because I knew the new nest would be welcoming it with love, I was able to send it across the ocean.</div>

'Bird Dance' is a 1 meter square quilt mounted on a canvas frame.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is one in a series of African Kaleidoscopic quilts I made when living in Ghana for 3 years. While making these kind of quilts I tried by bringing together odd colours and African prints in a certain way the kaleidoscope, or mandala, would come out better every time I made a new one.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
All fabrics used are genuine African textiles from the GTP factory in Ghana and Vlisco in The Netherlands. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Especially the red bird print is one of my favourite African prints. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It comes in many different colours and has many different meanings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Swallows are a symbol of good luck. However the print also symbolises asking for a favour, such as the hand of a young woman. In Benin the print signifies asking for permission to have an audience with the king, while in Togo the print is called 'Air Afrique' because the fabric was used in the uniform of the local airline company.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In Ghana the pattern refers to the transience of riches: rich today, poor tomorrow, for money has wings and can fly away. (*source Vlisco Fabrics*)</div>

Don't worry, I don't feel like I have an empty nest now! </div>

On the contrary: I am making space for new projects! If you are interested in my quilts and/or boxes please keep an eye on my webshop at <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/geckoboxes" target="_blank">Etsy</a> as I will be adding more items soon.</div>

And on to the next deadline for my handmade boxes! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In about 2 weeks time I will be joining the 'Wintersalon' of the <a href="https://maaskoe.com/agenda/1380/" target="_blank">Maaskoe Gallery</a> in Rotterdam. Together with other artists I will be showing my boxes and some of my quilts and wall art! The walls and tables will be full of art and all will be for sale!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, since we have a Parson Russell Terrier puppy my time in my studio is much less than I thought it would be! He is very interested in the cardboard pieces of the boxes... ;)</div>

I was lucky to have had an order to make hatboxes and slowly get back into making. First I made a sample with African fabrics which turned out really well if I may say so ;)</div>

Hallo, daar ben ik weer!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Na de laatste blogpost is het stil geweest vanwege de chemokuur voor de Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in mijn kieren. De chemo is aangeslagen en er zijn geen kankercellen meer traceerbaar! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nu is het een kwestie van rustig aan doen, conditie opbouwen en proberen weer in de quilt-modus te komen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maar eerst mocht ik mijn werk exposeren tijdens de Patchwork en Quiltdagen 2019 in Rijswijk!</div>

<i>Hello, I am back!</i></div>

<i>After my last blogpost it has been quiet due to the chemo treatment for the Non-Hodgkin-Lymphoma in my glands. It worked! There are no more cancer cells visible! Now it's 'simply' a matter of taking it easy, build up my stamina and get back into my quilting routine! </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Voor deze quiltshow mocht ik 40 meter vullen.

De meeste werkstukken had ik gelukkig al klaar voordat ik ziek werd, enkele heb ik gemaakt tijdens de chemo periode. Het werken naar deze show toe heeft mij enorm geholpen om positief te blijven tijdens de afgelopen maanden.</div>

De caleidoscoop quilt <i>'Fly Away With Me'</i> kreeg heel veel complimenten. Het is dan ook een joekel van 3x3 meter! Door het kleurgebruik lijkt deze quilt bijna 3D, er zit diepte in. Een van de vragen die vaak gesteld werd was: "hoe lang heeft u hier over gedaan?" Het antwoord is ongeveer 4 maanden, verspreid over een jaar. Hij is (nog) niet te koop, ik hoop dat ik er nog een keer mee mag exposeren. ;)</div>

<i>The kaleidoscope quilt '</i>Fly away with me<i>' received a lot of compliments. It is an huge quilt as it measures 9 feet 10! It looks like the star comes out of the quilt, like a 3D object, due to the way I used the different colours. The most common question asked was: "how long did it take you to make this one?" The answer is about 4 months, spread out over a period of 1 year. It is not for sale (yet) as I hope to show it at some other exhibitions. </i>;)</div>

Het was zo leuk dat zoveel vrienden, familie en volgers kwamen kijken, het was gewoon een groot feest! In de volgende blogpost zal ik de andere quilts van dichterbij laten zien.</div>

Laat ik maar met de deur in huis vallen na deze periode van stilte: ik heb geen fijn nieuws,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
na weken van onzekerheid heb ik de diagnose non-Hodgkin-lymfoom gekregen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lang verhaal kort: ik ben nu onder behandeling met immuuntherapie en chemo (R-CHOP). Vorige week de eerste chemo via een infuus gekregen en over 2 weken krijg ik de volgende. In totaal 6-8 keer, dus ik ben er voorlopig zoet mee.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I will come straight to the point after being away for some time:</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I received bad news, I am diagnosed with non-Hodgkin-lymphoma. Long story short: I am treated with immunotherapy and chemo (R-CHOP). One week ago I received my first treatment and in two weeks time the second dose will follow. In total I will need 6-8 treatments, so this will keep me busy for some time.</i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In de periode van onderzoeken en wachten heb ik mij uitgeleefd op het ontwerpen van deze nieuwe quilt: de <i>double-wedding-ring quilt.</i> Met al die drukke prints op de Afrikaanse stoffen is het best lastig om er toch een samenhangend geheel van te maken. Mijn gevoel zegt dat het klopt! ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>During the period of waiting in between the different medical researches I let myself go and designed this latest project: </i>the double-wedding-ring quilt. <i>With all the different bold designs on the African fabrics it is not so easy to find the right balance, but I think I did well! </i>;)</div>

Om de quilt te dubbelen gebruik ik 4 lange latten die ik op de hoeken met een lijmklem vastzet. Dit vierkant leg ik op de rugleuning van 4 stoelen zodat ik niet over de grond hoef te kruipen. De achtergrond van de quilt pin ik met punaises op deze (span)latten vast met de goede kant naar beneden. Daarop leg ik de batting en daar weer bovenop het patchwork. Met veiligheidsspelden pin ik de drie lagen aan elkaar vast.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
De quilt is bijna 2x2 meter en past nog net op de spanlatten in de huiskamer.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>To sandwich this quilt I used 4 long bars which I connected with 4 clamps at the corners. This wooden square I placed on the back of 4 chairs so I didn't need to crawl around on my knees. The backing fabric was placed first facing down on the bars with thumbtacks and the batting on top of this followed by the patchwork top. With safety pins I tacked the 3 layers together.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Daar ben ik weer na een periode van stilte. Natuurlijk heb ik niet stil gezeten! Alle Afrikaanse stoffen zijn uitgepakt en liggen in stapels door het hele huis. We zijn op zoek naar grotere woonruimte en tot die tijd is het even behelpen.<br />
Gelukkig had ik mijn XXXL caleidoscoop (<a href="http://www.geckoboxes.com/2018/03/another-xxxl-african-kaleidoscope-in.html" target="_blank">klik</a>) al laten dubbelen en kon ik daarmee achter de naaimachine. Het hele gevaarte van 3x3 meter paste maar net onder de naaimachine! Met een walking-voet zijn alle naden gequilt.<br />
<br />
<i>I am back! All African fabrics are stored away and I finally started quilting my XXXL Kaleidoscope quilt (<a href="http://www.geckoboxes.com/2018/03/another-xxxl-african-kaleidoscope-in.html" target="_blank">click</a>). This mammoth quilt of 9x9 feet just fitted underneath my sewing machine and with the help of two extra tables I was able to quilt all the seams in the ditch with a walking foot.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlH_vNC-XumB6isCYB0RnBT09lR_8RrOk856uu3gz-rvv0jAyPFtk2H7R9Wdmp_EI0dE2DakoljGfu5_bvTllGYmokFOc28rZHKsOX8cNvPC88YNwqivpmsnhPlRRv_fYOlm5EldCMpcM/s1600/IMG_5838.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlH_vNC-XumB6isCYB0RnBT09lR_8RrOk856uu3gz-rvv0jAyPFtk2H7R9Wdmp_EI0dE2DakoljGfu5_bvTllGYmokFOc28rZHKsOX8cNvPC88YNwqivpmsnhPlRRv_fYOlm5EldCMpcM/s400/IMG_5838.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
De naaimachine had ik dwars aan de eettafel gezet en een kampeertafel ervoor zodat het hele gevaarte zowel aan de voor- als zijkant ondersteund werd. Best wel spierballenwerk!<br />
De tijd begon te dringen want deze doek moest wel op tijd af zijn voor de bruiloft van een vriendin! Toen mijn moeder haar been brak en verzorgd moest worden werd het wel even spannend...<br />
Gelukkig kwam een vriendin helpen met de klus van draadjes wegwerken.<br />
<br />
<i>After I finished all the quilting I got some help from a friend to tidy up all the loose ends. This way this huge project got finished in time for a wedding party!</i><br />

En dan is het dan eindelijk zo ver: mijn laatste week in Accra - Ghana is aangebroken.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Met gemengde gevoelens ga ik voor de allerlaatste keer naar de Makola markt waar talloze stalletjes en winkeltjes tot de nok toe zijn gevuld met stoffen, zowel lokaal geproduceerd als Chinese namaak. Gelukkig weet ik na 3 jaar waar ik goed kan slagen.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Filled with mixed emotions I went for one more time to the Makola market to buy just a little bit more fabric. So many stalls and little shops are filled from floor to ceiling with local and foreign (China counterfeit) fabrics. Fortunately, after 3 years, I know where to go for my fabric stash.</i></div>

Nog een keertje ga ik langs bij de sjieke Vlisco winkel in Accra Mall waar het prima is uit te houden in de heerlijke gekoelde lucht. Heel wat anders dan op de markt! De prijzen liggen natuurlijk een stuk hoger met deze in Nederland geproduceerde stoffen!</div>

Een van mijn vrienden in Ghana vroeg of ik voor haar een T-shirt quilt kon maken met de favoriete T-shirts van haar gezin. De meeste waren versleten en scheef getrokken maar ze konden er geen afstand van doen omdat ze voor hun speciale herinneringen bevatten.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Samen hebben we de delen van de T-shirts uitgeknipt, heel ruim zodat ik ze daarna in rechte lijnen kon bijsnijden.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i>One of the few friends I had in Ghana asked me if I could make her a T-shirt quilt from her family's favourite T-shirts. Most of them tattered and crooked but they couldn't part with because of special memories to her and her family.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Together we sat down and cut out the parts she wanted to have in the quilts. We did so with a very big seam allowance so I was able to trim them down in straight lines.</i></div>

Met donkerblauwe Ghanese batikstof tussen de T-shirt delen in en een groen-blauwe strook aan de zijkant en achterkant is de quilt heel erg leuk geworden.</div>

Het is de afgelopen maanden stil geweest op mijn blog. Mijn wereldje stond op zijn kop door ziekte en uiteindelijk overlijden van mijn vader. Gelukkig kon ik mijn ouders bijstaan tijdens het ziekteproces dat ruim 2 maanden duurde. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mijn creativiteit was ineens tot stilstand gekomen totdat ik een verzoek voor theedozen binnenkreeg van een Cottage Retreat in Ghana. Dat gaf mij precies de goede afleiding.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>It's been a bit quite over here due to family circumstances. My world turned upside down when my father became ill and died shortly afterwards. Luckily I was able to be with my parents and support them these past 2 months.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>My creativity was on hold, until I got a request for some tea boxes for a soon to open Cottage Retreat in Ghana. This was the perfect distraction for me.</i></div>

Deze kleine doosjes (9x9 cm) zijn ook gemaakt met stof uit Nederland en zijn besteld door een winkel in Accra. Dus ondanks een lange afwezigheid heb ik toch een beetje kunnen werken.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>These small gift boxes are made with Dutch wax prints as well and are for a shop in Accra. Despite a long absence from my studio in Accra, I was able to do a bit of creative work.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nu ben ik weer voor even terug in Accra. We gaan namelijk weer verhuizen....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maar eerst heb ik deze dozen nog verder afgemaakt met een mooie kraal als afwerking.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I am back in Accra just for a short time only. We are going on the move again...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
