In an extract from ‘Kaffe Fassett In the Studio’, we take a look behind the scenes of the artist's remarkable north London house, which he shares with his husband Brandon Mably. Kaffe shares the story of finding the house, with some pictures of his distinctive, colourful interiors
The designer is still knitting at 84, and his eclectic home and studio reflect his love of pattern and bright colour

Lotus Leaf is a design by Kaffe Fassett and this is the wine colorway. It is a deep rich wine red with shadings of pink, lavender, green and orange. This is listed in 2 yards increments. Multiples will be in one continuous piece. This fabric is new, on the bolt, and my home is smoke and pet free.

The Power of Pattern exhibition of florals and quilts at the Fashion and Textiles Museum London soon to move to Edinburgh. Highlights of my favourite florals.
I made a Colorwash of exclusively Kaffe Fassett fabrics many of which are early and out of print. It is not the Kaffe Collective which includes fabric by Brandon Mably and Philip Jacobs. It is exclusively Kaffe. This wallhanging is made from the kit of 2.5" squares that will be offered to students of Colorwash 360. I used one of the larger prints on the back and I thought the black Fern print was perfect for the binding. Are you interested in making a Colorwash wallhanging too? If you haven't heard, I have an Online Course launching on October 1, 2018 called 'COLORWASH 360'. You'll learn gradation from light to dark (value) as well as gradation from one color another...And, how to select fabrics that work best. 'COLORWASH 360' opens for pre-sale on September 1. Subscribers will receive 24 hours early access to sign up for the course and purchase the limited edition kits of pre-cut squares or larger blocks to cut multiple squares yourself. Both Batik and Kaffe Fassett Fabric kits will be available in limited quantities to students of COLORWASH 360 only. If you aren't an Exuberant Color subscriber for the mailing list....click here to subscribe.

This is where I share my photos of the quilts that I have made. Many of the quilts are inspired by my travels. Others are my version of someone else's patters.

Attend a personal workshop with two masters of color as Kaffe Fassett and Brandon Mably share their inspiration and techniques for creating colorful knits. Kaffe and Brandon lead you through a variety of vibrant palettes, then showcase them in more than thirty designs. Bursting with full-color photographs of home decor projects and accessories and the locations and objects that inspired them, Knitting with The Color Guys will change the way you look at— and knit— color forever.
I call this one "My Happy Quilt". If you click here you can go back to the post that shows the back of it too. It has a combination of Kaffe Fassett fabric and batiks. This quilt is very low contrast. I was trying to imitate an antique quilt that had a variety of elements and a medallion style layout. Click here to go back to the post that shows my drawing that I worked from. I really like this quilt. I had made a few 4 patches but just wanted a sprinkling of them throughout the quilt. Click here for the post that shows a close up of the quilting. I made this one after seeing the cover picture on Kaffe's book "Quilts in the Sun". I changed the size of the block so I could get one block from each strip of border fabric that I cut. I used Benartex Fossil Ferns as my solids around the Kaffe prints. Click here for the post that shows a close up of the quilting and binding. I made 2 sets of similar blocks using crooked strips and divided them up for 2 quilts. I auditioned several sashing colors and my readers gave me their opinions. Posts starting on Dec. 18, 2008 and going into Jan. 2009 (if you care to go back to the archives) show the procedure from making the blocks, choosing the sashing, and finally sewing together. This one is 25.5" x 37". Here is the second quilt with the other half of the blocks. I call it "Celebration". I didn't get it quilted until Jan. 2010. Click here for the post with a close up of the quilting. It measures 31.5" x 45.5". I liked the pastel striped quilt in one of Kaffe Fasset's books and decided I would make one. I ran the stripes across the narrow way instead of lengthwise on the quilt. Here is a link to the page showing the inspiration quilt and my fabric choices. The zig zag quilt top is a charm quilt, every piece different, 308 of them. It was fun to design it since charm quilts are always a challenge. This is a link back to the page where I had finished it. If you want to follow the journey of the designing, go backwards from this date. The barn raising layout quilt top was made before the zig zag quilt top and uses the same size triangles, 6.5" squares cut diagonally. There are 140 different fabrics, 2 pieces of each in this top. I was making this one in February, 2010 if you want to go back to any of the process pictures. This is a pattern called Star Trip. It has a controlled number of fabrics rather than the scrappy way I usually work. This is a Karla Alexander design from one of her books. I was inspired by the 'S' quilt in a Kaffe Fassett book so I designed an 'H' block for myself. I call it "I Give it 5 Stars" for the 5 star blocks mixed in for fun. I worked with 2 sizes of strips around the center squares, changing the position of the 2 sizes in half of the blocks. It was a challenge sewing on point with sashing. Bento Box pattern finished in April 2011. 3", 6" and 9" finished squares with a layout furnished in one of Kaffe Fassett's books. This one was finished in June 2011. Trip Around the World completed in October 2010 Square Dance 1 Inspired by a quilt in one of Kaffe's books. Completed in 2012 Square Dance 2 Completed in 2012 3 sizes of Bear Paw blocks Random Plank, sewing sequence like Jelly Roll Race random length strips instead of full length. Kaffe stripes and prints in 16 patches with floral panels Using all scraps that were strips, I made 2 sizes of blocks for this quilt. Cool color bordered squares, fossil fern borders Crosses wallhanging, Kaffe Fassett pattern, my tutorial on label list under Tutorials. Strips 'n Curves templates and technique. Made from one strata. Two wallhangings, Kathy Doughty pattern in book "Adding Layers" Large squares of Kaffe fabrics with sashing of many striped fabrics, a Martha Negley fabric border. Zig Zag quilt made with strata. Small colorwash with all Kaffe collective fabrics. Pinwheels of hand dyed and Kaffe fabrics with alternate blocks and border of Kaffe Parasol fabric. Half hexagons of Kaffe collective fabrics.

A couple of weeks back I took a day trip to Bath to meet up with a friend and catch this wonderful exhibition. Coming up the drive to the American Museum we were greeted by some beautiful yarn bomb…
