ART: Quilts and Books and Kaffe Fassett Exhibition

A relaxed companionable dip into quilts and books about quilts, as Anne and I visit the current exhibition: "Kaffe Fassett: The Power of Pattern" (in Edinburgh).

We also visit the artbooks section in the great Christian Aid Book Sale (a fixture in Edinburgh) each May for over 50 years. There's an inspiring couple of libraries within the Central Library (a public library) and then we stroll to Dovecot Galleries for the Kaffe Fassett exhibition.

**For added delight, after you've viewed my short video, take a peek at quilter ‪@MaryFons‬ Youtube video walkthrough the same exhibition as it appeared (6 months ago) in London.
   • Walk the Kaffe Fassett Exhibit at London's...  
It's a larger exhibition (in London's Museum of Fashion and Textiles) and takes 1 hour 20 mins to walk round.
You'll see different angles on some of the standouts from our tour and, of course, additional thoughts. I enjoyed Mary's comment on seeing the multi-starred quilt: "Now that's a quilt!". As we also noted, it draws you in.**

Further 'reading' a great behind-the-scenes hang-out ‪@JaftexCorp‬ with Kaffe, Brandon Mably and quilter Liza Lucy in her quilting studio, showing the quilts that began their company, with work in progress, including the part-pieced large star quilt (recorded 4 years ago) at:

Kaffe's exhibition covers quilting, fabric pattern design and needlepoint cushions. Anne is wearing a Kaffe Fassett designed handknit top. An artist friend of ours couldn't visit the collection but bought the accompanying book and finds inspiration on every page.

Do check out Kaffe Fassett books to buy or at your local library. For quilters, there are seasonal releases of their new printed fabrics.
