What I forgot to mention yesterday...........

When I showed the pile of fabrics on the chair yesterday I forgot to mention they are all vintage out of print (OOP) Kaffe Fassett fabrics.  I have every Kaffe fabric except #5 which was a block printed linen fabric according to some sources.  His fabrics number up to 170s now.  The fabrics in the photo above (and in yesterday's photo) go up to #124, fabrics you only find for $30-$60 a yard if you can find them at all.  In the photo they are 4 fabrics deep in each pile, 65 fabrics.

Why did I have all of these OOP fabrics out?  They are for kits in my kit shop for students of Colorwash 360, optional purchases to expand their own collections for a Kaffe fabric Colorwash.  (I also offer a more recent set of Kaffe fabrics to expand a little further as well as batik and floral.) 

And for you super Kaffe fans, I have a photo catalog of his fabrics that is searchable by number, name and includes many quilts I've made over the years using just Kaffe Fassett fabrics and Kaffe Collective (+Brandon and Phillip). This could be one reason you might want to sign up for my online class.


The other reason that comes to mind is that this is the LAST TIME I will be doing the 6 live sessions with the Colorwash online class which adds a few extra tips and demonstrations and gives you a chance to ask a question which I answer on the spot. 

You would also be able to show me your progress and get help from me on YOUR PROJECT...making decisions on fabric selection, placement for smooth gradation, sewing...anywhere you feel stuck or need another opinion. No student left behind...


Registration for the online class ends this Friday, the 18th at 10 p.m. EDT.  That's less than 3 days away.


And now a treat for me........

You are the queen of KF Fabrics! Vanilla ice cream with salted caramel sauce - heaven in a bowl! I know you enjoyed every spoonful!

Those fabrics are just gorgeous. You have such a fabulous collection. That ice cream looks really yummy.

The fabrics are gorgeous. If anyone is on the fence about the class, don't hesitate to jump in and get ready. No one teaches value and color like Wanda- two of the most difficult things to teach clearly and effectively.

Having taken your "wanda-ful" class - and having made a Colorwash top using KafFe fabric - I can say that the one-on-one help and learning your webbing technique were my favorite parts. Your treat looks good - one of my friends suggested crushing some Fritos on top before adding the caramel sauce - it was YUMMY - ;))

It has been a treat to see all your Kaffe Fasset fabrics. I feel he designed them just for you ! Has he ever seen any of your work ?

We have been engulfed with the heavy and I mean heavy smoke from CA., OR., WA. and ID. even ash on our deck and smelling of burnt forest..... Since Sunday, if the virus is not enough, now this.
