- I had a wonderful time visiting the Festival of Quilts a couple of weeks ago, here is a little look at the some of the quilts and the people I met. Chris English was really interesting and I was delighted to hear him talk about his work. Brandon Mably and Kaffe Fassett very generously talked to me about their work, how they design together and what they love about their fabrics. I met so many friendly people who enjoy this channel and I loved saying hello to so many of you! The Lime Green Sofa was there is spirit!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who enjoyed this video! I'm so pleased that you loved Chris English's quilts as much as I did. There is another taste of his wonderful brand of quilting over on Patreon on Friday. The Interviews with him and Kaffe and Brando were the highlight of my visit! Thank you to everyone who left a comment, I am overwhelmed by the response from you all! Much love, Kate xxx
I enjoy this video so much Kate, thank you. thank you for sharing you meeting with Chris, Brandon and Kaffee
WOW! What a wonderful video. So many beautiful creative quilts. I really am speechless. I do love hearing Kaffe and Brandon talk about their creative process. I just love Kaffe’s fabrics. And I love the fabrics you bought, Kate. They actually remind me of Kaffe’s colors. Can’t wait to see what you make with them. For SURE, you should put a quilt in the festival next year. The one you’ve made for your granddaughter is very beautiful…. Thank you, thank you Kate for your channel. xxx
Well first of all you open a quilt show with that absolutely fabulous Kitty I believe that's Rita so that's totally appropriate. The quilts, the quilts, the quilts!!! Colors and design and line imagination and then your interview at the end what a perfect video cake this is just been a delight.. if I didn't have $8,742 million projects going I would take up quilting.. but I'm 76 and I think that's about enough. Thank you again this was just an absolute delight and thank you Rita
Yes, what a tease Kate💕🙂 looking forward to the project Don't keep us waiting too long.
Thinking of our friends across the pond. May God Bless you, watching the news today and we hold you in a warm embrace. God Save the Queen.
Kaffe Fassett and Brandon Mably - the colours are absolutely ravishing! I have followed Mr. Fassett through the embroidery, knitting, quilting, ceramics, et al, and am always engrossed in the colour..Long may he produce!
Thank you Kate, for this and all your videos and sharings. I'm sending condolences also for the loss of your lovely, special queen. What a treasure she was.
Wow, the sheer volume of quilts at that festival. The dazzling array of colours almost shocks the senses. How I do love those quilts..Kaffe and Brandonare😮 inspiring. Chris is also a man on a recycled mission. He dazzles with his own artistry. Thank you...❤🇨🇦
Wonderful seeing and hearing about the beautiful quilts. Thank you for taking us with you.👍
Thank you for sharing. You make all of us more caring
I think I would have spent half the day just looking at the absolutely fantastic 'Girl with the Pearl Earring' That just blew me away. I love Kaffe Fassett's fabrics, but I couldn't live with them, if that makes sense. I can only have 'calmer' colours in my home. Chris was so interesting to listen to - back to the original concept of quilting. Oh please, please, take the lime green sofa to the next Festival. What a wonderful idea. Thanks for sharing your visit to the Festival of Quilts with us xx
There are quilts so perfect or so spikey they must be on the wall not the bed. Can't sleep under some of those. The personal ones that can't be reproduced, hand stitched and hand quilted... made to be slept under. Those are the ones made to be a loving hug. Chris's are full of sweet dreams, no pretention, enough to make a cat purr. Thanks, Kate, for bringing us with you. )))
Awesome! These beautiful quilts prove there is room for every type of quilt and quilter. We don't fit a stereotype.
Ahhh beautiful indeed! So happy you took us along with you! We must be X-tra "SPECIAL!" Lots Of Love from Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. 🍁👍👍💕🦋🌈
What a joy 💜💜💜 Absolutely joyous 💜💜💜 Thank you Kate 💜💜💜
wow wow wow, that talent of these quilt makers is beyond.
Sitting relaxing and having a wonderful view without walking about. Loved interview with Chris. Loved his crumb quilt. So many combinations. Thank you for sharing with us all.
I dearly love your interview with Brandon and Kaffe. And I enjoyed meeting Chris English and his work! Thanks for taking us to festival!
I absolutely love the scrappy block quilt made with all different kinds of fabric! 💖👵🏻
Thank you for this video Kate, I have not been to a Quilt Festival in a while and this was just a feast for the eyes and as well as rekindled my love for quilting and fabrics. Chris’s quilts are amazing to see, and how he works with flea market finds. Good to see Kaffe and Brandon again and their beautiful quilts and fabrics. Take care and looking forward to seeing what you do with the fabrics you bought, a lovely selection that you have chosen.
In a nutshell, brilliant. I couldn't have enjoyed it more! Thank you for all that you do.
I so enjoy your Sunday visits. This quilt show tour was fantastic. Thank you for sharing the interviews with Chris, Kaffee and Brandon.
Kate, I would like to let you know that you have given me freedom, or maybe more you have given my mind and emotions freedom. I just made a little gift for my granddaughter and I made it little bits at a time. I didn’t demand that I chug threw the project in one setting but rather I gave myself the ‘ok’ to do a bit here and a bit there. And guess what, I actually got it done almost 2 weeks ahead of my deadline, lol, and I am a horrible procrastinator. So thank you for sharing how you do a similar thing of a bit here, a bit there.
When you said here that you were going to make a quilt for ‘yourself’ I had to smile because I am doing the same. I am crocheting an Afghan throw for ‘myself’. I haven’t made something for me in quite a while and it is quite fun.
Thanks for sharing the quilt show, so many lovely things. 💕
Thanks for taking us with you to The Festival of Quilts! Lots of inspiration to see there!
I enjoyed seeing Chris and his quilts. I saw an interview he did with Karen on Just Get it Done quilts and it great to see his quilts and hear him talk about his work. Very cool to see Kaffe and Brandon and hear about their process. I have a Kaffe book and feel inclined to pick a pattern and go for it! I am surprised you didn't have a quilt in the show, you do beautiful work. Thanks again for sharing with us! Take Care!
💛Loved Chris's fabulous quilts and so envious of you meeting Kaffe and Brandon 💜Loving the lime green sofa idea ! 💚
I love it when quilter talk to one another. And the three you choose to show us were tops. Your granddaughter's quilt would love lovely at this show. I kept thinking that as you were showing so many of the other stunners. Thanks for bringing us along
Thank you for introducing me to Chris English, his work was really exciting, I liked that he had thrown out all the rules and made it work. I’ll be interested to see if you do the machine /hand quilting combination. Kaffe Fassett is always inspiring, I think he is an artist❤️ I saw lots of his quilts at Jen Jones quilt museum in Lampeter and would encourage anyone who has the opportunity to see them in the flesh💐
I love these quilts. thank you for taking us along with you on your fun adventure to see all those lovely quilts. My favorite was some of the ones by Chris. It was so interesting to see so many lovely thank you, again.
Oh my, Kate! What a feast of quilts! Thank you for taking us with you to Edinburgh. I so enjoyed your conversation with Kaffe and Brandon. Love your new fabric and can't wait to see what you do with it.
WOW!!! Thank you so much for sharing!! I really enjoyed seeing these marvelous quilts.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Kaffe and Brandon and Chris are so interesting in their views of fabrics and layouts. Surely a huge step out of the precuts box! Mixing fabric weights was a surprise. Kate, you are looking so cute and healthy and happy. Thanks for sharing the Festival with us.
Thus was wonderful! I think I must watch it again to take it all in
Really fabulous video. So interesting Chris and his zero waste quilts, beautiful work and of course Kaffe and Brandon are so friendly and in the same time incredible designers. Thanks to share with us. Lovely time with you.
Wonderful - I so enjoyed this video Kate - absolutely wonderful 🥰
Thanks for taking us along. I really enjoyed the quilt expo.
How fantastic to meet Kaffe and Brandon you are so lucky OMG I love all the ideas some of those quilts really are works of art. The festival of quilts never disappoints. Thank you Kate that was wonderful ❤
The filming was perfect! Thanks for sharing with us! How fun! Thanks!
WOW…some of those quilts are Masterpieces.
Hi, my wife asked you if she could speak to you. She met you and asked you if you recognised her from the lime green settee! She thanked you for getting us through covid. She left you in peace. You made her day.
Kate, Don't think twice about your camera work. We are all so happy and fortunate that you took us along on your trip. What lovely people and conversations with Chris, Kaffe and Brandon and not to mention the 'mystery' people that helped you along the way. I cannot wait to see what you make with the Indian blocked fabric - oh, it's just stunning!!! Of course you will enter a quilt or 2 or 3 next year. Yes, please do, Kate. See you on the lime green couch :)
Thank you so much yet again to a lovely Monday breakfast time here in South Australia. I have been doing a huge organising of my sewing room and found a bag with a thimble berry fabric block of the month, it was part of left over from a clearance sale of a quilting shop. There were 12 packets of pattern and fabric but not each month some repeated in different colour ways but had started it as a hand piecing project that came to a break several years ago with only 2months done when we had a beautiful grandaughter and I said I would have it made for her 21st but she is now 14 so must get moving. Whenever we visit our son I always take hand sewing, usually binding but yesterday restarted sewing this quilt, its call 3' Company copyright 2008. All those on TLGS hope you have your hand sewing and pass the apricot delights along. Blessings.
What a wonderful video!
I was blown away by Chris’s quilts! So exciting!
I too LOVE LOVE Kaffe Fassett's fabrics - the bold colors are just up my alley. They cheer me up. Same with Tula Pink's fabrics. Seems like it was a great show.
I love having my morning coffee with you. Thank you.
Kate putting a quilt in next year’s Festival is a great idea. So many people would enjoy and get ideas from your work
My goodness Kate ! I am blown away by these lovely quilts 🌸
Hello Kate. Thank you for taking us along to the Quilting Festival. It was fun seeing all the different patterns and the brilliant colors. Be well.
Your time with Kaffe changed my views, thank you so much
Chris's quilts were amazing. Nice to see using used fabrics.You were so lucky to meet Kafee. He is amazing.
I soooo enjoyed this video Kate! Thank you so much! I love the fabrics you have chosen for your quilt…looking forward to hearing more of your plans. Lori
Chris English's beard is a fantastic work of fiber art!!!!!.....his quilts are amazing, too!
Thank you so much for this delightful video that explores the true flavor of tasting a color palette with one’s eyes. It makes you appreciate all the more the many artists out there in the quilting world!👏👍❤️
Wonderful ! Thankyou for taking us along with you.
Absolutely loved Chris, last quilt. All the different textiles. ……….. in it.
Thank you for taking the time to show us some of the highlights of the Festival; I am already a fan of Chris, Brandon and Kaffe. Good luck with the patterns you choose for the beautiful fabrics you purchased.
You are amazing Kate, I absolutely enjoyed your interview with Chris and Kaffe!!! Brilliant 🥰
Wow how cool, Kaffe. Loved his fabric for years.
Very nice! Love that you got to talk to Kaffe for so long.
I have really enjoyed Chris’s quilts too. They remind me of the quilts of Gees Bend which I have admired for decades.
Love your video, always enjoy seeing you on Sunday. 🌹
Love you Kate, thanks for sharing
Wonderful video , thank you for sharing your experience with us. You are an inspiration as always.
Those were some absolutely gorgeous quilts ! Your talk with Kaffe and Brandon was great too, and very informative. I love Kaffe Fassett fabrics, especially the blues.
Thank you so much for sharing this. It was wonderful.
This was a wonderful video, Kate. I loved seeing all the quilts at the show. Thank you.
Kate, this was a BRILLIANT video. I must say that I truly enjoyed Chris English's interview. I know that Kaffe and Brando are famous for their textiles and I enjoyed their interview, but Chris' work was so organic and unplanned and well executed that it spoke to me more. Many of the fabrics in his quilt had a story, much like your quilted curtains. To me, that is what I would like my quilt to be like - a story waiting to be told. I love ❤️ your videos and your work. I purchased, for the first time, beautiful Liberty fabric (because of you) for my bedroom curtains that I want to make like the one that hangs in your home. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos for us. Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos that I'm behind in watching. I do that so I can binge-watch your videos, lol. ❤️
Thank you so SOOOO much for sharing this. I have had e coupel of absolutly crappy weeks and felt a little bit sorry for my self. Just wanted to sit at the sofa and have a good cry after work this day. And this video turn up at my screen. Creative beuty alvays make me feel better and puts a smile on my face again. Thank you and all other youtubers hwo makes such a differens in my ewery day life.
The lime green sofa idea is wonderful! People can visit and take pictures and chat…..👍🏻💖👵🏻
Thank you Kate, for taking us on the tour and being such a great interviewer, really enjoyed this video and I am now going to join Patreon, to support your channel 😊
What an amazing video! Kaffe enjoyed talking to you. You can see it on his face. It’s an awesome thing to watch two artists connect. Well done!
The festival of quilts is still on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the pictures from the quilts. And thank you for the cool Interview with Kaffe Fassett and his Design Partner!!
What an exciting event! Delightful to hear Kaffe and Brandon speak on their design concepts. But I think the real gem was Chris and his wonderful reuse quilts. While they are so very graphic and modern, the reuse basis of the quilts harken back to the original purpose of quilting. Thanks Kate!
I agree! A true pioneer.
That's what I would have commented had you not done it first! 😉 I found Chris original and appealing.
Oh I thought his quota were frightful
Sallee, I agree totally, as a newbie I am a little overwhelmed by some quilters and the rules etc., but also the cost of fabric, when he said he uses overalls and thrifted materials it made my day as that is what I want to do and I have a stack of fabric but was wary of using charity shop finds, now I can merrily stitch away both by hand and machine as the fancy takes me, and the randomness of some of his designs inspire me that I can maybe just maybe achieve something similar. I don’t think that those who like order and rigidity and repeat and new and designer fabric would be happy to buy one of his quilts or to even copy his style, but me, I am a fan, and as I can get designer fabric in clothes or duvet covers to add into the mix from charity shops I feel vindicated!
@@debbie1_b I think his style of quilting is sort of the equivalent of modern art versus traditional or realistic art. There is value in the instinctive, semi-random way his were put together, and it definitely has a strong connection to the utilitarian roots of quilting. But I can also see why it might not appeal to everyone. Personally I’m more drawn to softer colors and more symmetrical patterns, but I imagine the quilts Chris made would be lovely and warm and comforting to snuggle up with.
Chris is an old soul quilter! Thank you for focusing on his work!
Enjoyed this video sooo much especially the part with Chris! Enjoyed hearing his take on quilting! Love your channels Miss Kate! Thank you!
Awesome! What an amazing experience! Thank for sharing! 🦌💌❤️🧵🐝📚🐑💐🪡🧵
Thank you for taking us to the quilt show with you. I really enjoyed your interviews. I got to meet Kaffe and Brandon hen they were in my area and it was so exciting. I am a huge fan of their fabrics and the fantastic quilts they design. I enjoyed Chris and his quilts too. I really liked the idea of using all those different types of fabrics together.
Thank you thank you for sharing Kate - loved! 🥰
What a joy I am absolutely brand new to quilting and you popped up on a TH-cam search for literally quilt love the tour love the different approaches of the two quilting designers between going from using recycled fabric in very hazard organic ways compared to the more structured focus philosophy! Thank you so much for taking the camera with you and thank you to the strange lady who was willing to hold the camera while you interviewed the first gentleman.
I love Kaffe work I love colours they both have lovely work great video
That young fellow you interviewed his quilts are gorgeous i don’t know how people do it really all fabulous quilts blows my mind
Thanks for sharing your venture to your quilt show, love your collection of fabrics and look forward to quilting process. 👍❤️😊
I have thought about making quilts for so long .......
and have been "collected" fabrics, books, ideas, whenever I have seen something I like.
I like strict pattern ones and random pattern ones. After have seen Chris's lovely quilts. Now I really have to start.
Sooo thank you so much for sharing your joy of the Festival of Quilts 🧵📐✂
By the way I love !!!Agnes's Quilt AND the Postage Stamp Block!
I really enjoyed your interview with Kaffe and Brandon. Your comment about colour brought out such an interesting discussion. I love colour, i am really drawn to their quilts and designs. I really enjoyed your discussion and viewing Chris’s quilts also. Thank you for sharing your visit to the quilt Festival with us. Trish 🇦🇺
Spectacular video Kate. Thank you so much for bringing us along. Please enter Agnes’ quilt next year.
You are so lucky to meet Kaffe and Brandon. They are my favorite designers and quilters. I absolutely love there fabrics and I have never seen a quilt of theres I didnt like.. I enjoyed looking at all the quilts there and I really like the interview with chris and his quilts. Thanks for sharing your experience at the festival of quilts. So enjoy your videos.
Kaffe Fassette is brilliant! What beautiful fabric 😍
I was so pleased to see Agnes quilt on several people's videos. It looked lovely.
I really enjoyed tagging along with you at the Festival. I especially enjoyed the segment with Chris English. His quilts are beautiful, and his process or free-form style of building a quilt was interesting.
What a great video. I was so pleased to see you and say hello. You are a very inspirational quilter. Can't wait to see what you do with your new fabric. Thank-you Kate.
Thanks for sharing your visit, Kate. Although I’m a traditionalist with color and patterns I was open minded enough to appreciate the showcase of the vibrant quilts that were featured here. I think you should enter next year! I was fortunate to receive a blue ribbon at our local fair for a mariner’s compass wall hanging I made. You never know…So glad I found you through Arne and Carlos. Cheers ☕️.
Kate, I got so excited to see you talk to Kaffe 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰!!!!
Those quilts you showed with his fabric were simply exquisite and beautiful! I think the lime couch 🛋 at the quilt festival will be a big hit 👍🏼🫶🙋🏽♀️
Ooh, I loved this whole video Kate, and how exciting that Kaffe and Brandon made time to speak to you!
Thank you so muchfor filming your trip Kate! ❤❤
Thank you so much! I loved your chat with Chris. He was really inspiring to a beginner like me. The quilts you filmed were stunning. And wow! imagine meeting Kaffe and Brandon!
Kate, you are so awesome! ❤️🐑❤️🐑❤️
The delightful idea of an LGS at the Festival of Quilts made me laugh out loud. If that should happen I'd be sorely tempted to fly from Canada with a pan-full of homemade brownies to pass along the LGS! Especially Kate, if you have a quilt or two entered into the festival. Please let us know far enough in advance so we can book our flight and hotel reservations!! 🙂 I'd love to have a chat with you!
Great episode, too! Wonderful interviews with Chris and KF & BM 🌞
What I liked best from a marvellously interesting video was how the bystanders face lit up when she realised whom she was talking to. I think that is how we all feel, all of us sitters on the lime green sofa. Interesting comment too about the simplicity of the design making the most of the pattern and colour of the materials, thanks Kate
Brilliant! Thank you for taking us along!!
Such beautiful quilts. The work on some of the quilts is unbelievable. Enjoyed the tour.
WOW O WOW!!!! What a thrill this was!!!
What a thrill to talk to Kaffe and Brandon!!
