About this deal

There is no one better than Fassett at seeing images and patterns in the world and translating them into knits, e. The colors should “tumble down” gently from top to bottom – your eye should not be drawn to a specific row yet there should be some excitement to the eye as well.

He has published many books, including over 20 beautifully photographed quilt pattern volumes which make it easy to produce one of his trademark designs. I am a retired PhD chemist and traveling the world is one of my deepest passions which continues to add to my ever growing quilt of life experiences. During those years, Kaffe’s design world also expanded to encompass needlepoint patterns, mosaics, fabric designs and quilt patterns.By the end of the class, everyone had a basic layout designed for their quilt that they were pleased with, though maybe not all the blocks were cut or put up. I also love the challenge of taking beautiful photos that capture the essence of the location I am visiting. His "Red Diamonds Quilt" is vibrant with patches of sunflowers, grapes and a multitude of floral designs. When I first skimmed the book I was thrilled because I realized that I DO have a way to work through my huge fabric collection-- especially fabrics I was worried I would never use because they didn't quite "fit" the kinds of patterns I had in mind.

What I really like is that Fasset's choice of colors makes wonderful use of simple patchwork designs such that the designs themselves become only a background for new, shimmering combinations of fabrics.Divided into five color themes--ranging from soft pastels and leafy gardens to bold circus hues--these stunning designs bear Kaffe's unmistakable stamp. One of the surprising comments that Kaffe made at the beginning of the class was that more often than not, he noticed that students would make a quilt in the colors of the clothes that they wore, and he was quite right. Not only is Kaffe exuberant in his tactile use of color he is also extremely passionate and erudite when he talks about color in his creative world. Used books have different signs of use and might not include supplemental materials such as CDs, Dvds, Access Codes, charts or any other extra material. Just as he did in his previous, wonderful design books on Needlepoint, Knitting and Home Decor, Kaffe Fassett has brought his exuberant sense of color and pattern to the design of quilts.

This final discourse was as much a critique as it was another lesson in the language and the concepts of Kaffe’s color world.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. Listening to his talk it was clear that his eye and his mind were wired to see color and pattern in ways that most of us do not.
