Welcome to our website

We are Herma & Herma, mother and daughter, both of us mad about quilting among other things (knitting, crocheting, embroidery, dress-making, etc, etc, etc).

Maybe you're wondering...why Pezzettino? The answer is simple...Two reasons:

Putting together one pezzettino ("small piece" in Italian) and another pezzettino, is what quilting is all about, and if you keep it up long enough you end up with... a quilt.

Pezzettino is also the main character in a wonderful book by Leo Lionni. Pezzettino thinks he must be part of something larger and tries to find whatever it is he belongs to...wonderful inspiration for a quilt as are many more of Lionni's books. Read all about Pezzettino:

 

 

Herma de Ruiter: I now live in Holland again, after almost nine years in Italy, with my husband and two cats. We run a small chemical company and to get away from the computer where I spend most of my time, I quilt, knit, crochet, etc. In between I also find time to prepare home-made pasta and pizza.

Herma Bouw: I live in Holland with my husband. My mother infected me with the quilting-bug but I have to say I find it an enjoyable infection.
