With his unerring eye, Kaffe has succeeded in finding the perfect
location for his exquisite new collection of quilts, featuring both
his scintillating new fabric designs and his classics, all in
his unique color palette. This time he has chosen the iconic
13th-century Powis Castle in north Wales, where the 20 quilts in this
book are set off against the storybook castle and stunning grounds.
Photographed brilliantly by Debbie Patterson, they are displayed in all
their glory in a sumptuous eye-catching quilt gallery.
Included in this set of new designs are many very special ones by Kaffe,
and others by his long-time friend and co-designer, Liza Prior Lucy.
Kaffe's Saturated Red quilt finds its perfect partner in the rich
deep hues of the bed hangings on a magnificent four-poster, while his
Cold Frames quilt, with its dramatic black-and-white sashing
framing fussy-cut flower prints, echoes the studding on the medieval
wooden doors into the courtyard. The cool geometry of his Marble Tiles
quilt takes its inspiration from the painted paneling in the Long
Gallery, and his Vintage Library quilt echoes the warm tones of
the hundreds of leather-bound books in the Castle's collection.
As usual, this book--the 24th in the series--includes a range of
quilts for all skill levels, from beginners to advanced, and
features an eclectic mix of patterns and colors ranging from Philip
Jacobs' eye-catching bold floral prints to Brandon Mably's smaller-scale
quirky patterns.
Flat shots and a practical know-how section and glossary back up the
fully illustrated, step-by-step instructions for each quilt.
