I love the center of the Kaffe Fassett fabric Trip Around the World. Three early and out of print fabrics are here: Spools in red and pink, Pansy in orange and Artichokes in green. I think it ended up at 78" x 95.5" I need to re-measure this morning. I have it pinned up sideways on a double design wall. This photo shows the full sequence of the 18 fabrics used. The online Colorwash 360 class is open for enrollment for subscribers only on Saturday so it is the last chance to sign up for the mailing list. I will have a limited quantity of kits in both batik and Kaffe Fassett fabrics available for purchase for subscribers only. I had a question in the comments yesterday about how to sign up for the mailing list. I have a link that you can click on in that paragraph (the words "sign up") or you can go to my sidebar for the form to fill out. I think the confusion might be for people who only read my blog on their smartphones. Maybe the link is not as noticeable.

A quilting, sewing, and crafting journal written by a working mom who would always rather be sewing.
A bunch of us with the Stashbusters Yahoo Group who have an excess of 30s fabrics in our stash will work on reducing that stash in 2015. I'm starting out the year with two 58 quart totes of 30s fabric but I do have several 30s projects (aka UFOs) already in the works. Here's a new Road to Lampasas 15 inch block. I need to count how many of these I have now. It will be a Queen-sized quilt. With some of the same fabrics I tried out a block for a new quilt- Tea Leaf Quartet . I like it so some of my 30s will now go into the making of this quilt. With some of the same fabrics and some scraps I made 3 - 9 inch Tulip blocks to add to my collection. I really need to count how many I have since I've been making these for a couple of years. And finally...I made a 15 inch Goose in the Pond block. And...ooooops!...now that I see the photo I see the lower left corner was assembled incorrectly. I thought there was something weird about it. Well, I'll fix it. But anyway...this is another quilt I'm starting to bust my 30s. I was thinking I would use all yellow as the background but it seems rather bright even to me. We shall see what a few more blocks look like together. Then I can always just use red, yellow and blue solids for the backgrounds if I don't like the plain yellow. And now for a little whining... My sewing machine is broken now. Hand wheel won't turn. It's like the darned machine is stuck in bobbin-winding mode. Arghhhh. I hope it can be repaired. My DH will take it in to the sewing shop today (if they are open) while I'm at work. I dug my old, old Kenmore out of the attic and dusted if off in case I can't do without a sewing fix while the Janome is in the shop. And that's it for Design Wall Monday here.

By Patricia Belyea WAUCONDA WA Our octogenarian friend Kaffe (rhymes with safe) has written another colorful quilty book! The three-pound tome, Kaffe Fassett’s Timeless Themes, arrived in my mailbox yesterday. Twenty-three luscious quilts are featured using fabrics designed by Kaffe, his partner Brandon Mably, and Philip Jacobs, from the past and present. I picked out my favorite quilt in the book. Striped Squares is found in Chapter One called Bold Stripes. Kaffe writes about making a beloved quilt for his book Passionate Patchwork out of classic men’s shirt stripes. His new version uses two scales of stripes from his current fabric collection of woven Indian stripes. A fun detail is a petite block made out of four triangles of black and white striped fabric. Like any good craft book, there’s everything you need to make the quilt in the back. Are there flowers, you wonder? Of course. Lots of Flowers, big and small. And Foliage. And Sprays. And Vases to put them all in. For lovers of geometry, there are Complex Stripes and Circles. For those with no interest in geometry, there are Organic Forms. Kaffe has mixed traditional quilt designs with his heady fabrics to make something old and something new. The ideas inspire and incite a need to go play with fabric! The book takes readers on a journey through time and around the world. And it once again shares Kaffe’s love of the beautiful and the bold! GUILD TIP: Two years ago, when the book Kaffe Fassett In The Studio was released, I interviewed Kaffe for one hour on Zoom. Program Chairs are welcome to use the Zoom recording for a presentation at a guild meeting for free. +access the video Photos in Kaffe's books and the portrait of Kaffe Fassett above © Debbie Patterson.

Published by Gestalten, Spill the Beans: Global Coffee Culture and Recipes takes you on an in-depth journey into the world of coffee. The topics of the book range from coffee production and the cultural history of coffee to different ways of enjoying it, offering inspiring recipes and new ideas for brewing the perfect cup. The book was written by Lani Kingston, a food writer and barista specializing in coffee culture. Coffee is the world’s cup. Over 2.25 billion are brewed, sipped, and savored on a daily basis. A loyal companion and energetic facilitator of the everyday, coffee has sprouted an entire cafe culture and a booming industry. While the caffeine fix is hard to ignore, this beloved hot drink holds a rich and diverse history that sinks deeper than the bottom of the cup. Penned by expert journalist Lani Kingston, Spill the Beans takes the reader on a journey through Ethiopia, Guatemala, Vietnam, and many other countries in between, exploring the myriad ways in which coffee is produced, traded, and enjoyed. Hipster baristas may be dreaming up the next seasonal latte at this very moment, but the story of how the humble bean became a global icon is ingrained in history. An essential title for armchair travelers, curious foodies, and cafe-hoppers alike, Spill the Beans demonstrates that there’s a vast world of coffee beyond the ubiquitous flat white. This book is an ‘extra hot’ commodity, maybe it is time to sample it?
It's been a while since I have posted here mainly due to the fact that I've just barely been able to keep up with life in general due to sicknesses going on here with myself and the kids. Nothing serious, just constant! I'm still sewing though, but possibly not getting done everything that I would like to! Nothing new, right? I have had the opportunity to attend two workshops the last two weekends. Considering that I have only attended four workshops in my quilting career up until now, it felt like a very busy week! Last weekend's workshop was with Chris Jurd, which I will blog about next. This weekend's workshop was with none other than the wonderful Kaffe Fassett! Nearly as long as I have been quilting, I have wanted to attend a Kaffe Fassett workshop. I have spent many many hours over the years pouring over his books and dreaming of quilts to make inspired by him. When I heard that Addicted to Fabric in Canberra was going to host Kaffe Fassett and run a workshop for the Bordered Diamonds quilt from his book, "Simple Shapes Spectacular Quilts", I jumped at the chance. And I have no regrets! If anyone is unfamiliar with how Kaffe runs his workshops with his partner Brandon Mably, they are all about the design process and colour placement. There is no sewing involved, but rather a lot of cutting and placing of fabrics on a design board and then moving and arranging the fabrics around. For me, this is the most exciting part of quilting, so a workshop dedicated to this process was extremely interesting to me. The morning started out with a brief introduction and discussion on how it is important that we work quickly and not hesitate or over think what we put up on the design wall. Their mantra is the same as the Nike commercial, "Just Do It". Most important was that we get something up on the design board and then stand back from quite a distance to look at our work. They suggested using a reduction glass to look through so that we could see what was working and what wasn't working easily. For the Bordered Diamonds quilt they suggested that large prints would be most effective and that smaller scale fabrics would be effective to use as the frames for each diamond. We were to cut the large diamonds out first and get them on the board first and then go back and work on filling in the frames for each large diamond later. Neither Kaffe or Brandon teach the workshop in a manner that they spend time babysitting what you are doing, but rather there is the feeling (particularly of Kaffe) of someone standing in the background parenting with a bit of gentle guidance here and there. This method I feel allowed me to be able to work and gain confidence as the day progressed. After I had placed about 15 diamonds up on my board, Kaffe did wander over and was quickly able to see what the color palette was that I was mainly using. He picked out about three or four of the darkest diamonds and said that they created too much contrast--too dark against the lightest of the fabrics that I had already had on the board. It surprised me how simply taking out those diamonds, suddenly made the start of my quilt seem clear and gave me direction as to where I wanted to go with it. I had brought with me a range of blue/purple, red and yellow/gold fabrics with a desire to try to use yellow in my version of his quilt. I told Kaffe that I find it tricky to use yellow in general and wanted to concentrate on this as an exploration on how to use it! Brandon mentioned that next to black and white, yellow is the most difficult color to work with. Kaffe's suggestion was to add in green, which I didn't bring with me, so I did get the opportunity of having him go "shopping" with me to pick out possible fabrics. That too, was an educational experience to see how his mind works. I suggest that if anyone ever gets an opportunity to do a workshop with them to take them up on their suggestions! It's the easiest way to begin to see what they already know. Close to lunch time I had already starting working on my borders for each of the diamonds. The suggestion was not to try and match the border fabric to the large diamond, but rather use instinct and choose the fabric based on what we feel works. Using a single or two color fabric seemed to work better than using detailed fabrics with many colours. Here is where I was up to when we broke for lunch: After lunch we kept working and trying to fill in as much as we could. Kaffe would walk around the room, sit down on a chair looking very relaxed and just look. Then he would walk up and point to an area and say, try this here, or this here. What I got from it was that where there is high contrast next to each other creates a starkness and doesn't let the colours dance together. Neither should the fabrics blend into each other. It was effective to choose a different colour for the border than the centre diamond. There is a subtle play and harmony when it works which allows the integrity of the shape of the diamond to remain clear. Below is a photo of where I was at at the end of the day. He then goes around the room and talks about the process each student went through to create their own palettes. This was an extremely interesting part of the workshop and fun to see how each person came up with really beautiful palettes of colour. This is a quilt I would like to try again to see how I could make it work in a different palette. Maybe next time I will try a darker palette. Here are some photos of what some other ladies in my workshop made during their day at the workshop: All in all, I was very pleased with the entire experience of the workshop. It's an educational experience. Be warned though, Kaffe and Brandon are very disciplined in their approach to teaching and expect you to be on your best behavior! We had a very nice group, so everything went very smoothly. At the end we got a chance to have our own books signed by Kaffe and then we rolled up our flannels with our quilt layout to be sewn up at home. I hope to get mine on my design board in the next week or two so that I can still remember what I learned in the workshop as I finish it! I want to add another row to each side so that it is the same size as the one in the book, which I believe is approximately 55" x 80". If you ever get an opportunity to attend a workshop with Kaffe and Brandon, don't hesitate, just do it!

This 56" x 64" quilt reminds me of a Boomerang. The gray background is subtle enough for the twirling bright Kaffe Fasset fabrics to catch your eye, and the oblong circles that are longarm quilted soften the sharp edges. Check out the surprise bright yellow backing. This was a pattern written up by Intown Quilters where I worked, and was a shop sample. It was machine pieced with quilt shop quality cotton fabric, professionally longarm quilted , and has hand sewn bias binding.

Harry Potter has become one of the best-known fictional characters in the world. Based on the bestselling series of novels written by J.K. Rowling, the story takes place in a magical world of Wizards and follows the journey of Harry Potter and his friends in their ongoing battle against the Dark Lord Voldemort. Spanning across eight films with a cast including Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Alan Rickman and Ralph Fiennes, the Harry Potter universe is very popular with a loyal fan base. With subsequent release of the three Fantastic Beasts prequel movies, it’s fair to say the train that left platform 9¾ in 2001 is showing no signs of stopping.
