The wonderful project 'Draad van Verbinding' (Thread of Connection) I made last year with so many people (young and old) from Hattem, is now part of the exhibition 'Wie ben je? Van (zelf)portret tot selfie!' (Who are you? From (self)portrait to selfie!)

My work 'Messengers' (Messaggere in Italian) was made to remember Saint Frances of Assisi who died 800 years ago. Today is his day. #hermaderuiter #goingroundincircles

These doves are messengers in the truest sense, echoing Francis of Assisi's own quiet insistence that peace is not given but carried, hand to hand, heart to heart, into every corner — light or dark — that needs it.

Each stitch remains an act of patience; each dove, a quiet invitation. Together, they ask us to do the same: to make a difference, however small, through acts of creativity and care.

Across fifteen panels — moving from light through medium into dark — small hand-stitched doves carry their messages both ways: one flock travelling from light into shadow, the other from shadow toward light, crossing paths as they go.

During the month of September I stitched a block with a small kite every day in solidarity with the Palestinian children who are no longer allowed to fly theirs. #hermaderuiter #goingroundincircles #flyakiteforgaza #cherrywoodfabrics #valdani #StitchingForPeace
