Oooh look - Kaffe Fassett!

Brandon Mably and Kaffe Fassett came to visit my shop this week. Thanks to the amazing Sue and Shanon at Busy Bee quilting who sponsored the Wellington leg of their NZ tour this summer. They teach and speak and are amazing. I missed all of this as I am too busy being distracted, so I consider myself extremely blessed by this unexpected gift.
Brandon took the above pic on the verandah outside, in front of this wonderful mural. Kaffe spotted it and decided it was his kind of backdrop. Colour blending and painting is his style, not high contrast.
I love both these amazing people's work. I have a lot of Kaffe fabrics in my stash, that I treasure so much I can hardly bring myself to use them!
You couldn't meet two nicer men. They were encouraging about our beautiful shirts and shades and we had a wee gossip about some of the other players in the industry, not mean just fun things.
And, I sang them the bit of my Stashbusting about Kaffe and they wanted to see it so I sent the link.
Made my month, year, decade that did!

    Oh wow! I'd be a little starstruck, if I met him. Kaffe Fassett knitting designs are legendary. What a cool experience!

      Oh yes, he said, "How are you" and I said, "pretty much fangirling at the moment" as I waved my hands around lol

      Also, I know Kaffe is the superstar but Brandon is also amazing. He makes these gorgeous complimentary designs that work with the busy diva ones that Kaffe and Philip Jacobs make.

      I expect he does, The Makery is a great place to teach. And why wouldn't anyone want to hang in Bath :)
