Kay Fassett is having a pretty big year. His autobiography, Dreaming in Colour, is out...

... and the London's Fashion and Textile Museum has a large exhibit of his work (quilts, needlepoint, mosaic, and quilting) on display starting today, April 22.

Ehrman Tapestry has commissioned a series of short films about his work. You can see two of them on the Ehrman website and more should appear there over the next year.

No one understands color the way Kaffe Fassett does. No one.

Kaffe Fassett's designs are stunning. Why are they done on such large mesh canvas?
ReplyDeleteI suspect it's because British needlepointers prefer 10 and 12 count. That seems to be their market. If you look at Ehrman's website, that's all they sell.
