My parents' birthday present to me was a trip to Hasselt (Belgium) to the Kaffe Fassett exhibition in The Fashion Museum.
It was fabulous!
Exhibited were quilts, jumpers, mosaics, embroidered cushions and so much more. I just can't believe how multi-talented this man is!
Since it's late and I have to work early tomorrow, I'll just show you some photos of the quilts I liked best loved.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to take really good photos because of the sparse lighting, but you get the idea, don't you?! Look at that explosion of colours!
This one is much more subdued, but I love the simplicity and the pattern. See how he used the stripy fabric to create the pattern as well? Simple, but so effective.
This was one of my absolute favourites. Yellow, pink & orange just are my colours.
Genius. Love everything about this. Must try something like this.
Mum (quilter, knitter & allround crafty girl) and I (just crafty girl) got so inspired on so many levels by just looking at his work. The choice of fabric, colours, patterns... I can't wait to get started!
And I didn't leave empty-handed either. Mum & Dad were sweet enough to contribute this to my stash:)
I'm so happy just to look at it. I do believe it's the prettiest (and most expensive) fabric I've ever had!
Next post I'll show you photos of the other items that were on show.
how cool- you are so lucky. i love the yellow and pink quilt too.
hooray for your generous parents!

Those quilts are beautiful and what a wonderful gift for you to be able to see them. Did you have to wear sunglasses? The colours are brilliant!
