Kaffe Fassett's Quilts by the Sea by Kaffe Fassett

Kaffe Fassett's Quilts by the Sea by Kaffe Fassett

For this landmark 25th book in his highly successful patchwork and quilt series, Kaffe Fassett has chosen the southern coast of England as the inspiration for his new collection of quilts -- Kaffe Fassett Quilt's By the Sea! Beachgoers have long enjoyed the rocky shores near Hastings in East Sussex for their wild beauty and classic architecture -- featuring several miles of coastline, this seaside community has its roots in the fishing industry and was the site of the Norman Conquest's Battle of Hastings in 1066. Once a popular Victorian resort area, this gem of the southern coast is now experiencing a travel renaissance thanks to a thriving art movement. The gallery section of the book showcases the 21 new designs, all brilliantly photographed on location by Debbie Patterson. The geometric lines of similarly toned beach huts enhance the deep jewel tones of Kaffe's Maroon Frames. Kaffe's Vintage Stars has an old-world quality featuring earthy tones that are brilliantly set against the backdrop of a brick garden wall. The stunning Colour Garden quilt, featured on the cover, feels perfectly at home draped over an old fishing boat overlooking the sea, while his confectionary Fruit Sorbet cushion showcases taffy-inspired pastels sure to inspire a cosy afternoon by the beach.  With Kaffe's classic fabrics and his forward-thinking new designs, quilters can find an eclectic mix of patterns and colours ranging from Philip Jacobs' eye-catching large-scale floral prints to Brandon Mably's smaller-scale quirky patterns.  Additionally, Quilts by the Sea includes: Creative quilt designs detailed step-by-step instructions a flat shot of each quilt relevant block or assembly diagram a how-to section offering more detailed guidance And much more...!

International textile designer Kaffe Fassett has drawn on his love affair with Hastings to produce this joyous quilting book, brimming with his legendary flair for colour and patternFassett, who has a weekend retreat in old Hastings, celebrates ‘the heightened, vulgar colour and pastel tones’ of the seaside town, as well as its mix of ‘the fun and the faded’. He has taken inspiration, he says, from its jauntily painted beach huts, rusty old boats and pier with its funfair and silvered wood. In this 25th book in the series, he has refreshed a favourite quilt design from each of his previous titles with up-to-date fabrics. The pages are packed with wonderful photography of Hastings by long-time collaborator Debbie Patterson.
