The last-ever listings for my Etsy store are completed, and now it's time to stroke some fabric and dream of what I can make for myself.
I have collected Kaffe Fassett books since I bought three at Powell's in Portland, Oregon several years ago. Since then I have built up an impressive library (of eight books), and also some very beautiful Kaffe-designed fabrics have come into my house. It might be time to stop admiring the books and fabric, and do something with them and make that quilt.
And now I have the time and capacity to do it. This closing-down-business thing is very liberating!
Want more fabrics, yarn and other creative spaces you can poke a stick at? You know where to go!
Sounds like the best of times ahead...Good for you!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your new creative creations with all of that lovely Kaffe Fassett fabric!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, I love KF fabrics - I have a few fat quarters in my teeny tiny fabric stash. No books yet, but I plan to. Even though I know nothing about quilting, I just love looking at his quilt books. Gorgeous use of colour! Looking forward to seeing what you make!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colour master isn't he, ol Kaffe. He was my first introduction to making patchwork quilts, so much energy and movement in his designs. Enjoy making these won't you, I can't wait to see what you do with them!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Fassetination!
ReplyDeleteLove Kaffe fabrics! Can't wait to see what you do with yours now that you have a little more time on your hands.
ReplyDeleteKaffe Fassett fabrics are the best ... I'm not surprised you love them and the idea books. I can't wait to see what you make. I always enjoy stopping by.

ReplyDeletewhoa, a pile of fabric in waiting, i also have a pile waiting to become a quilt, sounds like you have some nice 'me' time coming up!!
ReplyDeleteSometimes saying "no" can open up a lot of good "yes"! Enjoy your freedom!
ReplyDeleteOh enjoy the ride... it looks like is going to be a very very beautiful one.
ReplyDeleteAn amazing kaleidescope of fabrics you have there. I now have to go back and read some posts to find out why you are closing your etsy store and see what your plans are now.
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely blog you have here! x
Ohh, that is a very impressive collection!
ReplyDelete[not helping my current de-cluttering quest!]
ah tequila sunrise, sounds great, can't wait to see!!
ReplyDeletei thought i would get to the post today but monday it is, enjoy your weekend.
good for you. enjoy indulgent crafting, it's the best
ReplyDeleteI have those two books and have been drooling over kim Mclean's applique heart in Quilt Romance as well as a couple of her other patterns in yummy kaffe fabric, but as my stash is bursting I might have to settle for fabric from there instead of heading to a store with more kaffe in it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the well deserved indulgent crafting!
ReplyDeleteAlso, this is very belated, but I was sorry to read Buttontree Lane is closing, but it seems like it's a *very* positive move for you. You gotta do what makes you happy!
Best of luck with the quilts! Look forward to seeing how you get on...
ReplyDeleteso many things to make! so many deadlines and pressures to avoid. It sounds wonderful.
