Kaffe Fassett’s Bold Blooms (September 2016)

Internationally renowned textile and fine artist Kaffe Fassett has been inspired by flowers his entire life, and he has been incorporating them into his artwork for nearly as long. In Bold Blooms, for the first time ever, he shares a behind-the-scenes look at his fascinating creative process, shedding light on how he creates the vibrant fabrics, quilts, needlepoints, ribbons, floral displays and paintings for which he is celebrated. He follows with a passionate ode to flowers in the form of eighteen quilts and seven needlepoints designed for bedgnning to advanced stitchers and divided into seven colour moods, ranging from neutrals and soft pastels to rich, dark tones.

“While the projects included here feature the crafts of patchwork and needlepoint” Fassett explains in the introduction, “the ideas I present translate to any discipline that uses pattern and colour, including mosaics, embroidery, beading, knitting, rag rugs, furniture and wall decoration, and the display of live flowers….By dedicating this book to bold blooms, I hope to be sending you off on a passion-filled creative journey.”

Kaffe Fassett’s Brilliant Patchwork Cushions (2016)

Kaffe Fassett’s fabrics, with their trademark range of colourways in each pattern, are the perfect choice for his 20 different patchwork cushions in this book. He has created a cornucopia of eye-catching designs, with something for every style and for every level of patchwork skill, using both his sumptuous florals and his neat geometric prints to great effect.

Kaffe’s cushion designs cover every colour choice and style, offering designs for a wide range of interiors and settings. They bring a welcome injection of colour into an otherwise plain room or simple piece of furniture.

His bold Graphic cushion, in just two blue and white fabrics, or his Brilliant Squares cushion in eight subtly different fabric squares, are ideal for those new to patchwork. His 3D Shadow Box cushion, playing with juxtapositions of dark, light and bright fabrics, and the subtle changes of pattern in his Marble Tile cushion, on the other hand, offer more of a challenge.

Each cushion has detailed cutting and piecing step-by-step instructions, with diagrams and photographs. In addition the book has a practical guide to patchwork basics for those in need of more information.

Kaffe Fassett Quilts Shots and Stripes (2013)

Inspired by worldwide travels and a plethora of ethnic textiles, including the quilts of the Amish and from Gee’s Bend in America, Japanese all indigo quilts, suzanis from the Caucuses, and Pakistani kanthas, the projects featured in this book include full sized bed and wall quilts as well as well as smaller pieces that can be completed more quickly, such as throws, table runners and pillows. With Shots + Stripes, Fassett is answering the modern quilt community’s call for quilts that make bold graphic statements that are less time consuming and complex than some of the work for which he has been previously celebrated. While still serving his core audience of long time devotees and celebrating his and their passions for vibrant colour, Fassett is introducing himself to a new generation of quilters with the types of projects they’re currently seeking.

Kaffe Fassett Dreaming in Color (2012)

Kaffe Fassett has led an extraordinary life and is a captivating storyteller with a vivid memory. Born in 1937, he spent much of his youth in Big Sur, California, where his parents bought a cabin from Orson Welles and transformed it into the world-famous Nepenthe restaurant, a gathering place for artists and bohemians. After attending a boarding school run by the disciples of Krishnamurti, an Indian guru, he studied painting at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, then traveled to England, where he made his home. After an inspiring trip to Inverness, Scotland, Fassett began designing knitwear for Bill Gibb, and then the Missonis, Vogue magazine, and private clients like Lauren Bacall and Barbra Streisand, and, in the process, revolutionized the handknitting world with his explosive use of color. Further explorations led him to needlepoint, mosaics, rugmaking, tapestries, yarn and fabric design, costume and set design, and quilting. Now in his seventies, Fassett continues to produce new work and to travel worldwide to teach and lecture. In this intimate autobiography, Fassett shares rich, detailed stories about his lifelong creative journey as well as hundreds of glorious photos taken along the way.

Knitting with the Color Guys (2012)

Kaffe Fassett, perhaps the most celebrated textile artist in the world today, is known above all for his mastery of color. In his first book collaboration with Brandon Mably, his studio design partner, Kaffe finds exciting inspiration in the textures, shapes, and patterns all around us, in nature and in everyday life, to create more than 35 vibrant, gorgeous knitting projects: scarves, sweaters, vests, pillows, afghans, all with the signature color flair that is the Kaffe Fassett trademark.

Mosaics (1999)

Ebury Press 1999

Superb colourist Kaffe Fassett departs from his usual medium of textiles to unleash his magic on the world of mosaics. Teamed with expert needle artist-turned-mosaicist Candace Bahouth, Fassett proves no less adept at manipulating the harder materials–glass and ceramic tesserae, broken china and tiles, mirror fragments, pebbles, seashells, and even faux pearls–than his accustomed softer substances of fabric and yarn. As with most of Fassett’s oeuvre, this volume is more an assemblage of highly imaginative ideas than a traditional how-to approach. A number of the projects do include step-by-step instructions and there is good coverage of the basics (tools, materials, bases, tesserae preparation, adhesives, grouting), but the presentation presumes the readers’ willingness to experiment, as well as some degree of confidence in their own creativity. But again, as is typical of Fassett’s productions, the simple act of leafing through these pages offers unlimited inspiration.

Glorious Knitting (1999)

Over 30 Glorious Quilt Designs
Ebury Press 1999

‘Everybody who sees a Kaffe Fassett design can scarcely wait to own one… he is more than just a knitter and a designer: his way with colour, pattern and texture is entirely original… the most stunning book.’
Financial Times

‘Kaffe Fassett’s designs leave the reader in the kind of breathless wonder that is reserved for works of exceptions artistic merit.’
Country Life

Glorious Patchwork (1997)

Over 25 Glorious Quilt Designs
Ebury Press 1997

Glorious Patchwork represents yet another craft breakthrough for Kaffe Fassett, who has fearlessly conquered the worlds of colour knitting, needlepoint, and rug hooking. Here he teams up with quilt designer Liza Prior Lucy to produce a series of colour-drenched patchwork designs that have a powerful impact and a subtle, pleasing symmetry. Fassett’s text is chattier and more interesting than in his previous works; he is more capable of communicating the inspiration he finds in the natural patterns that the rest of us hardly notice. This is a book that will thrill textile and fiber craftspeople.

Kaffe Fassett’s Glorious Interiors (1995)

Needlepoint, knitting and decorative design projects for your home
Ebury Press 1995

Many designers have the gift of gab; few can actually write. Kaffe Fassett is a delightful exception. Indeed, the text of Glorious Interiors is something rare in interior design: a down-to-earth account of a complex and sophisticated personal style. Drawing inspiration from circuses, fairgrounds, the Watts Towers in Los Angeles, the liveries of Pakistani trucks, and Slavic peasant costume, Fassett dedicates his book to ‘all those with a touch of gypsy who share my vision’. Going by the vibrant kitsch, the obsessive repetition, and the migrainous, fractal surfaces of his trademark interiors, one suspects that not a few of them have ended up, tragically, in decidedly minimal circumstances, complete with soft white walls and bars on the windows.

Fassett’s embroidered flower gardens, frog cushions, trompe l’oeil flower plates, and postage-stamp lampshades teeter spectacularly on the knife’s edge separating genius from schizophrenia; his text, meanwhile, really makes the reader think–in a way few other books have ever done–about the emotional power of the richly patterned traditions of eastern Europe and the Indian subcontinent. Fassett contends that Western interiors–the best of them evoking ‘a sterile beigeness … that chilled me to the core’ – have lost all sense of humour. And he knows just what we need to get it back.

Kaffe Fassett at the V&A (1988)

Knitting and Needlepoint
1988

Kaffe Fassett at the V&A is about inspiration: the inspiration that one gifted artist has found a great museum – the Victoria and Albert Museum.

After 22 years of working in England, Kaffe Fassett is honoured with the first major exhibition of a contemporary textile artist at the V&A. This show has given rise to the third book by the bestselling team of Kaffe Fassett and Steve Lovi, whose collaboration created Glorious Knitting and Glorious Needlepoint. Here, we have an even more lavish production containing over 230 colour photographs spanning Kaffe’s prodigious output since his textile work began in1968.

Glorious Colour (1988)

Sources for Inspiration for Knitting and Needlepoint, with 17 Projects
1988

Kaffe Fassett’s two best-selling needle-work books, Glorious Knits and Glorious Needlepoint, established him as one of the craft world’s premier interpreters of pattern and color. Now, in his latest collection of projects for knitting and needlepoint, he shares the creative processes behind his fabulously rich and textured designs.

Inspired by many of Kaffe Fassett’s favorite objects at London’s famed Albert and Victoria Museum, the seventeen all-new designs in Glorious Colour reflect his unending fascination with decorative patterns and themes as well as the shapes and colors found in nature. 

Kaffe Fassett Glorious Needlepoint (1987)

Glorious Needlepoint provides insights into Kaffe Fassett’s creative process – a glimpse of the source materials that excite and inspire him. His sources are mainly traditional – fruits and vegetables, fish and fowl, flowers and foliage, fans and faces, geometrics and jugs – but his choice of colours and inventive flair give them his characteristically colour slant, and enable needlepoint to scale new artistic heights.

Steve Lovi’s stunning photography underlines how far Kaffe’s designs extend the potential of this often sedate pastime. Boldly scattered cushion and rugs around the home and studio, as well as designs for table and mats and shoulder bags, make the fingers positively itch to start stitching

Glorious Knitting (1985)

Over 30 Exclusive Patterns

Kaffe Fassett is one of the world’s most brilliant and inspiring designer-knitters. Influences as diverse as Turkoman carpets, Japanese ikat weaving, a tiled floor in Pompeii and a Spanish damask cloth have inspired his designs which are a magnificent blend of colour and pattern that transcends the fashion of the moment.

Kaffe’s designs look complicated and full of intricate detail. In fact, they are all based on simple shapes and the easiest of stitch patterns – stocking stitch. the complexity is an illusion created by a rich blend of yarns and often upwards of twenty colours in a single garment.

Kaffe Fassett’s Heritage Quilts (2015)

In this special edition in Kaffe’s Patchwork and Quilting series, Kaffe has taken inspiration for the 20 new quilts in this book from some particularly glorious quilts of the past. Kaffe has taken 15 quilts that caught his eye from the Quilter’s Guild Collection and worked his magic using his current range of fabrics to give them a wholly new dimension, bringing together his passion for textile making with, as he says ‘the ingenious discoveries of past quilt-makers’.

In his contemporary take on these amazing quilts – the 15 chosen span three centuries of quilt making and are featured in his introduction – he breathes fresh life into their eye-catching patterns and geometry, from hexagons to log-cabins and from complex medallions to simple strippies. He has invited five of his team of designers to make their own versions of five of them, creating yet further layers of interest.

In addition to the gallery of quilts, old and new, the book includes detailed information on how to make each of Kaffe and his team’s new quilts, along with general practical patchwork and quilting information and a visual summary of his latest fabrics.
