Yesterday's package had this book in it. I haven't seen as much advertisement for this one as there was for the last one. I think I have all but one of Kaffe's books, and the one that is missing is rare and expensive.
There are a couple really interesting quilts in this book. They are still using individual templates and I'm trying to figure out a production line method to do the same quilts.
I worked yesterday afternoon so I didn't get to look at the book until last night. I was tired after being on my feet and solving problems 2 days in a row at the store so dreaming of new projects was all I wanted to do. Today is the family reunion so no sewing until late in the day.
I surprisingly don't own any of his books although I've flipped through many and checked them out at the library. I do love what he does!
I must say I was shocked to see that they used templates and gave directions for templates even with a simple 4-patch quilt ~ I really wanted to quickly read the size of the blocks instead of finding and measuring the template. (of course it is easy enough to figure out, but still...) Anyway, I thought it must have been just because it was one of his earlier books. I had no idea they were still doing just templates!
I shall be going to the quilt show at Malvern this month , I just love kaffe,s books--cottonreel
ReplyDeleteSometimes quilt books can be found online that are gently used. Maybe you can find one in your travels through the net. Chris

Oh I love his fabrics and books. I won an autographed copy at Quilt Market last year and I almost cried....I was overjoyed.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see what you make from his book.

I wasn't even aware there was a new book! I'm going to head to the store to check it out.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a book that was made exactly for you!
ReplyDeleteIf the book you lack is Passionate Patchwork, email me, and we'll work something out.
