Kaffe Fassetts Quilt En Provence

Product Description

Kaffe Fassetts Quilts en Provence: Twenty designs from Rowan for patchwork & quilting This, the 12th in the series of Kaffe Fassetts highly successful patchwork & quilting books from Rowan, is photographed by Debbie Patterson against the backdrop of the picturesque town of Roussillon in the South of France. The narrow medieval streets full of colourful old buildings make a fantastic backdrop for another stunning collection of 20 new quilt designs from Kaffe & his chosen team of designers. Kaffe brings another collection of sumptuous new fabrics to patchwork enthusiasts, showing them how to create his wonderful harmonies of colour in exciting new ways. Kaffe's way with patchwork is not about tricky piecing but always about the joyous use of unexpected colour stories. Because of this, the quilts in this book show how traditional piecing can be newly interpreted with a modern twist. This time, Kaffe highlights the work of fabric designer Philip Jacobs in his Designer Profile, whose collections are a mainstay of Rowan fabrics success. Philip has an international reputation for designing wonderful floral fabrics for major furnishing houses in the U.K. His love of natural forms & oriental art inspired him to become a textile designer, so when Kaffe invited him to design patchwork fabric for Rowan he jumped at the chance. As always, the book introduces the new range of fabrics from Rowan, with a gallery of the 20 quilts shot on location, followed by a full shot of the quilt for reference purposes, with the ingredients list of fabrics & full written instructions illustrated with coloured diagrams. Templates for the quilts appear in the appendix to the book. About the Author: Kaffe Fasset settled in England in 1964. Further to a trip to Scotland he stumbled on an irresistible collection of coloured yarns. A few months later he was hooked & proceeded to knit & stitch himself a career. Hes exhibitied at the V&A museum in London & is highly regarded knitting, patchwork & needlepoint books.
