Seed Packet Quilt (Workshop Variation) with Kaffe Fassett and Brandon Mably

Globally, Kaffe Fassett fans have enthusiastically embraced his Seed Packet Quilt, and now you can make your own with Kaffe Fassett and Brandon Mably at Cotton Candy Fabrics on Monday, September 23, 2024. 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 lay out 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.) No sewing takes place during the workshop. No sewing machines needed.

The original Seed Packet Quilts is sumptuously photographed in Bold Blooms (pages 68, 69, and 147). In addition, Kaffe, Brandon and Liza have recolored Seed Packet twice more to feature fabrics available at the time. The most recent version may be found at FreeSpiritFabrics.com. 

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. 

This workshop includes the full day of instruction with Kaffe and Brandon, refreshments and lunch, two yards of Kaffe's Flannel Grid Wall, and a Kaffe Fassett Reducing Glass. 

Seats are available - sign up NOW!
