Download or read book Kaffe Fassett s Heritage Quilts written by Kaffe Fassett and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exciting opportunity to collaborate with the British Quilt Museum inspired this latest volume in Kaffe's successful patchwork and quilting series. Kaffe has chosen a special collection of traditional quilts and redesigned them in his latest fabrics for an exhibition at the Quilters Guild Museum at York in the UK in spring/summer 2015 (the exhibition will later travel to the USA at locations/dates to be announced). The quilts Kaffe has chosen are beautiful in their own right but his new take on them is also exquisite, each in a different way. Seeing his designer's eye at work picking out the elements to revisit is an education in itself. The results are stunning, both vibrant and graphic. The fabrics in his current collection are designed by himself, Philip Jacobs and Brandon Mably. As always, Kaffe and Philip opt for eye-catching, colorful designs in bright fabrics. Combined with Brandon's simpler, graphic patterns these offer the ideal range for quilt makers, with heritage patterns such as Hearts and Crosses, Log Cabin, and Church Window reinvented in wonderful, contemporary colors. There are also reinventions of older, rarer quilt patterns--all chosen for their amazing design and beauty. In addition to a wonderful photographic gallery of the quilts themselves, the book contains full step by step piecing instructions, with detailed diagrams. It also contains a general patchwork how-to section for anyone who is new to quilt making or needs to refresh their techniques.

Book excerpt: 'It seems to have happened overnight, ' Val thought as she pulled the beers. 'We've become a khaki town.' It's March 1942. Singapore has fallen. Darwin has been bombed. Australia is on the brink of being invaded by the Imperial Japanese Forces. And Val Callahan, publican of The Brown's Hotel in Townsville, could not be happier as she contemplates the fortune she's making from lonely, thirsty soldiers. Overnight the small Queensland city is transformed into the transport hub for 70,000 American and Australian soldiers destined for combat in the South Pacific. Barbed wire and gun emplacements cover the beaches. Historic buildings are commandeered. And the dance halls are in full swing with jazz, jitterbug and jive. The Australian troops begrudge the confident, well-fed 'Yanks' who have taken over their town and their women. And there's growing conflict, too, within the American ranks. Because black GIs are enjoying the absence of segregation and the white GIs don't like it. Then one night a massive street fight leaves a black soldier lying dead on the pavement, and the situation explodes into violent confrontation.
Download or read book Kaffe Fassett Quilts Shots and Stripes written by Kaffe Fassett and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by textiles from around the world, twenty-four quilting projects big & small with easy-to-follow instructions for all skill levels. In Kaffe Fassett Quilts Shots and Stripes, quilt master Kaffe Fassett and coauthor Liza Prior Lucy present twenty-four projects—small and large, beginner and advanced—made with iridescent solid-colored cotton fabrics (called shot cottons) and woven striped cotton fabrics, all photographed in and around his weekend home on England’s southern coast. Inspired by worldwide travels and a plethora of ethnic textiles, including Amish quilts in America, Japanese indigo patched work clothes, and African weavings, the projects featured include full-size bed quilts as well as smaller pieces that can be completed more quickly, such as throws, wall hangings, table runners, and pillows. With Shots and Stripes, Fassett answers the current call for quilts that make bold graphic statements but are not necessarily as time-consuming as some of the work for which he has been previously celebrated. “Fassett . . . and Lucy, owner of Glorious Color and Fassett’s frequent collaborator, have birthed a book of startling beauty. Beyond producing drooling glances, their book journeys determinedly yet joyfully through twenty-four projects, well conceived and with clear instructions.” —Publishers Weekly

Download or read book Kaffe Fassett s Quilts on an English Farm written by Kaffe Fassett and published by . This book was released on 2024-08-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this, the latest in his best-selling series of patchwork and quilting books, Kaffe draws inspiration from the bounty of nature on a Kent farm deep in the English countryside. With his unerring eye, Kaffe picks quirky settings for his quilts, finding beauty not only in the usual lush greenery and the produce, but also in the working environment of the farm, from its old farm machinery, where the rusted hub caps of a tractor pick up the exact color of one of his new fabric colorways, to the stacks of weathered wood that provide the perfect setting for a pale pastel quilt. With the brilliant perspective of his long-standing photographer Debbie Patterson, and aided and abetted by Brandon Mably, his partner and studio manager, Kaffe presents yet another collection of quilts, and images, that both surprise and delight. As always, the quilts have full step-by-step instructions with supporting flat shots of each quilt and the necessary assembly diagrams, making it easy to copy his designs to the last detail. But as Kaffe makes clear in his introduction, his main aim is to whet the appetite of quilters so they, in turn, can create their own exciting and unusual combinations of pattern and color.
