Kate Meets Kaffe Fassett at the Festival of Quilts 2023 PART ONE

Last week Anna and I went to The Festival of Quilts at the NEC in Birmingham. I met so many lovely people and saw so many amazing quilts, I came home with sensory overload! We took a lot of film so I am going to post TWO video, this is Part ONE and next Sunday at 7pm BST I will post Part TWO. In Part ONE then, I met up with my Quilting Heroes, Kaffe Fassett and Brandon Mably who were kind enough to grant me an interview, sitting in front of my quilt entry - Agnes’s Quilt. I am grateful to the Stewards who helped to set this up with me! I met with Nik and Claire at The Cotton Patch Stand. These are the people who put together the kits for my Hexagon Cushion in the Shop and so it was great to see them in real life! The cushion kits are here, the thread boxes too I chatted to the Aurifil Boys (sorry - that’s a patronising way to describe two such lovely men, but I am old enough to be your Mum!) I’m hoping the sound is good enough for you to hear this section, we filmed it during my ’Meet and Greet’ at the Aurifil Stand and there was a lot going on around me. We announced the Designer Box that I am planning with Aurifil next year! Exciting times. There is also an interview I did for their blog which you can read here. I taught a Workshop about beginning English Paper Piecing and met more of my lovely Lime Green Sofa Friends! You can download the instructions at my shop here Next time, in Part TWO you’ll meet up with Chris English, Joe Cunningham and some other lovely folk Thank you to everyone who said HELLO! It was a real pleasure to meet you! Back to The Last Homely House now and picking up the projects I want to carry on working on. Soon there will be another in the series with Anna. Her quilt is coming on so well! We will share that with you soon. A huge THANK YOU to my Patrons who support me to do the things I do! For the price of a coffee or a craft magazine you can enjoy content going back for years! Here - I met some of my Patrons at the festival and that was extra special! The music Anna has chosen for this video is from Epidemic Sound Dismantle, Concepts and Unbounded Horizons. I always love Anna’s music choices! Thanks so much for watching, liking, subscribing, sharing and commenting! Take care and come back next week for Part TWO! Love Kate xxx
