About Me

I'm a professoinal longarm quilter and I like to embroider by hand and by machine. I read a lot and I like to spend time in our garden. I´m married and have two sons (born in 1990 and 1993) and we have a cat

I don't know how I ended up with this username....I pushed a button too soon I think ;-( On most forums I go by the name Mayaquilt...

Favorite Books

I read a lot, these are some of my favorites:

All books from Diana Gabaldon, Stephenie Meyer, Tolkien and Charlaine Harris. Fay Weldon is also a writer I like a lot.

Favorite Television

Hmmm...my taste is not really intellectual I'm afraid... I like the CSI kind of series and Angel and Buffy, oh and SF like stargate... My husband thinks I'm a bit simple ;-)

True Blood is a new favorite and the Dutch tv serie "Boer zoekt vrouw"

Favorite Crafts

Too much to mention... Ofcourse quilting ;-) and art-quilting, general sewing, painting (the one-stroke country kind), embroidey by hand or machine,making home dec. kind of things with seashells or pinecones...sometimes making cards and atc's with fabric, needle felting and I'm sure there are more I can't think of at this moment ;-)

colours etc.

I don't really have favorite colours. I like most of them, bright batiks , country colors and soft pastels and everything in between. The "Tilda" style is a new love of mine :-)

I Like cupcakes, pumpkins, tea, cats, roses, lavender, small bags, all things handmade. Everything vintage...I love it!

I don't like Disney, stickers and 3D cards

collections

I like to collect old sewing items, old wooden spools, old buttons, lace, pincushions, etc.

I also make and collect pincushions and needle-books

Chunky books

I like to swap Chunky book pages. I make mine mostly with fabric.I prefer the pages 4" x 4" with the binding on the left. On my Flickr you can see some of my pages. I'm trying to collect some monochromatic pages (one color) and pages with a vintage look.

I'm looking for chunky pages with this themes:

  • monochromatic blue

  • vintage

  • vintage valentine

  • the poem "Fire and Ice" from the poet Robert Frost (http://wonderingminstrels.blogspot.com/2001/05/fire-and-ice-robert-frost.html)

Food and drinks

I don't have any foodallergies. I drink mostly tea, love all kinds. I'm happy with everything you send.

suggestions

What I would like to get.... only suggestions ;-)

*vintage/old book(pages) in your language to use in mixed media

*vintage/old childrens book(pages) also for mixed media

*vintage or new lace and ribbon

*rubberstamps

*everything Tim Holtz

*Art Chix images/ephemera

*nice paper napkins

*nice paper cupcake baking cups

*everything tea

*I'm always happy with something handmade

Comment: Hi Maya, I hate to do this, but it's been two months, and I haven't received anything, nor have you responded to my email. I see you haven't been on line since November--I'm hoping everything is ok with you. I've traded with you enough times to know you're a responsible swapper, so I will gladly change this rating when we get this figured out.

Comment: Whoo! Got another page from you in the mail today--it's been a banner week! Yeah, I like to use my school address during the school year so I can show the artwork I receive to my Paper Arts/Altered Arts students. In the summer I use my home address, hence the difference. It all gets to me, one way or the other. :) Thanks for the dragonfly--love the blue/lavender colors!

Comment: I'm laughing because I got two chunky pages from you today--this one, and one from ATC's for all! They're both lovely, but I really, really like the bird one. I'm kinda addicted to the bird theme right now. Thanks for always sending such cool art! I love getting your stuff:) (And maybe next time we'll get lucky and get assigned different partners--I think I've sent three time in a row now to @winniethepooh for this Nature page swap!)
Response: Hi, I was wondering about that myself...the addresses weren't quite the same...I'm glad you like the bird! Perhaps I will be posting some more birds on ATCsforAll after my holiday...I'm in Scotland now ;-)

Ik moet je helaas uit de Dutch Swappers groep verwijderen omdat je al langer dan 6 maanden niet online bent geweest. Als je weer wilt swappen, ben je natuurlijk altijd van harte welkom! Groetjes, Nancy
