Our names are Lida and Jim
Langedijk. We live in Canada and
are happily retired. Lida is born in Apeldoorn,
Gelderland and Jim in a little village called " De Weere" in the
province of Noord Holland . We emigrated to Canada
from the Netherlands
in 1952 and had a wonderful life so far. We have the Langedijk's
family tree on the Internet since 1995, and are constantly looking for
more Langedijks to enter into it. So , if your name is Langedijk or "Langedyk
" send me a e-mail, and lets
find out.
For the last 20 years Jim has been busy with stained glass, but has
now taken up digitizing to compliment the embroidery from Lida. Jim used to
work with the beta version of Uli's cross stitch and of course the PE-Design.
Some time ago we got the Turbocross
cross stitch program. It is a terrific program to create cross stitch designs.
We have been working with it for some time now and , of course all the cross
stitch design on this web page are done in it.
A very good Internet friend of ours in The Netherlands Lucienne
Scorza has a wonderful informative web site , with lots of free designs
. Go have a look and see!
Lida in addition to embroidery is also a avid quilter and
loves to do paper foundation piecing, using a paper foundation pattern to
create quilts. A excellent source for this is Electric
quilt.
Lida uses two different machines a Bernina
1080 and a Brother 8200 upgraded
to a 8500.
We buy all our sewing supplies and the machines from Triangle
Sewing in Guelph, and by the way they have many great classes
advertised at their site at the moment, go take advantage of it, if you live
in the Guelph area in Ontario .They have great teachers there.
We are of course members of the Brotherclub
in Guelph. Jim has also been busy
making a webpage for favorite organization the
Guelph /Wellington Seniors Association. Have a look at their Web site
. If you live in that part of the world , join it. Its a fabulous meeting
place with many activities for active living.

The crest you see here is a combination of the town of Langedijk and Woudenberg in the Netherlands.
We adopted it as our own. And we like it , so There!!
The town of Langedijk was famous for its vegetable market. Its a unique way they sell the product.
They all bid on the item for sale until they have reached the highest bid . Then the price of 1 guilder is displayed on the clock . The clock Will turn like a wheel of fortune. When ever someone pushes the button - the clock stops- and whatever is shown on the clock that will be added to the price and he or she is the buyer.Copyright Notice
