Kaffe's Patchwork
|
From the introduction
to Passionate Patchwork....
"What are you going to tackle next?" is so
often flung at me after I've just given a slide show and talk. The
audience will just have witnessed me having a go at knitting,
needlepoint, rag rugs, patchwork and mosaic. Since I perceive all
these as the same --
playing with patterns and colors -- the image some must have of me
being a dilettante doesn't enter my mind. However, the desire to
concentrate on and delve deeper into each of these media does
overpower me from time to time.
This book, developed with my trusty co-author Liza, was therefore
highly satisfying to both of us. We would be able to expand on ideas
that were sparked off by our first patchwork book. Initially, we spent
days poring over books on exhibitions of old quilts, never tiring of
their highly inspiring content. It won't have escaped patchwork
aficionados that I borrow heavily from classic old geometry. My logic
tells me "why strive for complicated, difficult-to-sew arrangements
when simple squares, diamonds and triangles are so endlessly
fascinating as long as the colors are alive."

Kaffe's Quilt Road patchwork book availble at Cotton Patch... |
| Info about Quilt Road.........Kaffe Fassett and other contributors let their imaginations run free in Quilt Road, the latest project book from Rowan. In the first part of Quilt Road the twenty projects are beautifully photographed against the dramatic Pennine landscape of Yorkshire. The projects are then covered in detail with a "flat shot" of each quilt, plus there is a feature on quilt artist Janet Bolton.
We have also made ordering the fabrics for the projects in Quilt Road much easier online. All the projects from the book are on display and if you would like to make one you can just click on the button to order all the fabrics for that project! Click here
