One of the beautiful display quilts. |
Tonight's lecture is one of the highlights of my quilting journey thus far. He is the most generous man, giving of his time to answer questions, his good humour at some of the questions and his willingness to completely share his experience and knowledge.
The Brick quilt from the Simple Shapes book. |
Another display quilt - to be shown in an upcoming book. |
Another display quilt. |
The man himself - signing my book. |
Two special inscriptions in my book. |
Even the professionals carry around a bit of craft in their bags! |
Kaffe signing his V&A book for my Mum. |
After the talk Kaffe patiently signed autographs and answered questions (including a bunch from me!). For those of you who are wondering - the name Kaffe (pronounced Kay-fe) is from an Egyptian childrens story.
A little bit of post-lecture retail therapy - thanks Mum! |

Glad you went, he is a great person and it is so true enjoy making quilts and not worry about every seam.
I have seen to many people being put off by remarks that there seam aren't matching or this or that.
Just enjoy the making of your quilts and the quilts.
cheers
