The Say Yes to Kaffe Collective winners from Wendy's Quilts and More

Free Spirit Fabrics have announced the winners of the Say Yes to Kaffe Collective online competition, and I'm thrilled to say that my Turkish Coffee quilt was one of the winning quilts.

The aim of the competition was for fans to make any quilt from Kaffe's Quilts in Burano book in their own choice of Kaffe Fassett Collective fabrics. Then the Kaffe Fassett Collective team chose their favourite quilts and the winners will receive some Kaffe fabrics from his upcoming 2021 release.

You can view all 10 winning quilts here on Free Spirit Fabric's Facebook page:

2020 - My quilting year in review from Wendy's Quilts and More

Wow! What a year that was!

My 2020 finishes

At the end of each year I like to look back on the goals I set myself at the start of the year. This year my goals were:

1. to move away from English Paper Piecing to hand piecing with a running stitch
2. to find a method of applique that suits me.

I've done well on my first goal of improving my hand piecing. I even made some videos about hand piecing and put them on YouTube. You can find them here.

And as for my second goal, I ...

Turkish Coffee #sayyestokaffecollective from Wendy's Quilts and More

Each year I eagerly await the release of the next Kaffe Fassett book. This year their book was photographed in Burano, Italy, and all of the quilts look gorgeous in the colourful seaside town.

My version of Turkish Coffee

As I flicked through the book I saw lots of pretty quilts in soft pastel colours, but the one that really grabbed my attention was the last one - Turkish Coffee, in rich, dark colours, designed by Liza Prior Lucy. It was so different to anything I'd made to date, so I decided that Turkish Coffee would be my first quilt ...

Turkish Coffee quilt from Wendy's Quilts and More

This week I've been working on my Turkish Coffee quilt from Quilts in Burano by Kaffe Fassett. And watching the US Open of course. It's really weird with no spectators, but I'm getting used to it, and at least it's keeping everyone involved free from COVID. The French Open (rescheduled to start on 21 September) is going to allow some spectators so that will be interesting.

There are so many lovely quilts in Quilts in Burano. Free Spirit Fabrics are running a competition called "Say Yes to Kaffe Collective" and encouraging people to make quilts from ...

New Kaffe fabrics from Wendy's Quilts and More

One of my local quilt shops, Busy Bee Quilt Shop, posted a photo of the new Kaffe Fassett Collective fabrics on their Instagram feed yesterday.

With a bit of uncertainty in the air here in New Zealand, I decided that I needed to race our there this morning and buy some. Just in case. These are the ones I bought from the new collection.

They hadn't even put the fabric onto bolts yet, but the lovely staff never mind cutting fabric for customers.

I also bought a few from previous collections because I like these ones too:
