Seed Packet Quilt Workshop with Kaffe and Brandon
October 14th, 2024 9:30am - 4:30pm (with lunch provided)
Globally, Kaffe Fassett fans have enthusiastically embraced his Seed Packet Quilt. It's sew much fun to search out bold blooms from your stash and shop for the latest blooms and fruits. Designing and sewing a Seed Packet Quilt is like planting a garden: browsing the catalogs (stash & LQS), planning the layout and planting the seeds (working with Kaffe and Brandon and cutting the squares) and watching it grow (sewing your squares), and finally reaping what you have sown/sewn (wrapping yourself up in your new quilt).
The workshop Seed Packet variation is composed of 6" and 3 1/4" squares. It features large scale floral and vegetable and fruit fabrics fussy cut for each square. The blossoms or fruit should fill out the large 6" squares and the small 3 1/4" squares.
Choose your fabrics with an eye for them to create a harmonious arrangement. They should go together well - perhaps most will have a similar background or same level of brightness. Kaffe and Brandon will teach and mentor you through fabric choice and placement. Everyone will follow the same process of choosing fabrics as Kaffe and Brandon do when they are designing, working on a design wall flannel. The design wall flannel is then rolled up with your quilt to take home at the end of the day.
