The Guru of Color. You are so appreciated. You make my heart sing with the fresh popping colors. I hope I can cut into the new fabric I bought of Kaffe's. I know whatever I make with it , it will be loved. Thank you.
I read Kaffe’s autobiography a few years ago as part of a university paper. Fascinated by his story, art and the vibrancy of his colours. They just resonate. Also loved this interview and discovering we share the same favourite story My Brilliant Career. Watching this interview was today’s highlight thank you!
It really was a great interview! I think you ticked all Kaffe’s areas of interest/passion, and respected his time for response. In referring to the artwork of children never being boring, he affirms everyone’s taste, choice of expression, and for me that’s enormously liberating coming from such a master artist! He’s a never ending well of inspiration!
When this interviewer mentioned knitting and a train, I remember reading about kaffe years ago...Wonderful knitwear of many colours...He learned to knit on the train...A wonderful story..
Thank you for sharing this interview! I find this very inspiring! I came to quilting late in life, I came from beading/beadwork. Lots of loomwork and some stringing but lots of white backgrounds with color. I've been expanding my knowledge, I helped my mom with her quilting journey and being the rebellious teen would say never. My mom would respond never say never. She was right and been going strong for over 10 years now. Recently purchased some of your fabric Kaffe and I have some ideas laid out to "blend". There has to be some sense to it, so may take a bit. I'm not a fan of red, purples and blues are more my speed. Took an incident with red to remember that it will often run/not set right. I'm always on the lookout for colors and when they speak to me, they end up in my cart for a future project. Thank you for sharing and creating! Yes, pilates changed my life too! Good day.
Fantastic interview!! I met Kaffe again in late May this year at Big Sur for another book signing at his family's restaurant Nepenthe. He is a delightful, classy man. Brandon was also there and we met like we were old friends immediatly. I hope to see them again on my next return to Big Sur, where I spend a few days every year since a high school kid, when we, Mom and sister and me, met Kaffe the first time in the late 60's. Lovely, lovely man.
Met Kaffe in Exeter a while back, hat a lovely man!, I was making a macrame hat andf he eyed with his perceptive gaze and encouraged me with the words: "keep it up, that's a work of art... this impressed me so much that 15 yrs later I'm putting the finishing touches to a 7 volume (slim volumes of perhaps 150pp), series on a new look at macrame's potential... Thank you so much Kaffe!
What a great interview. I just recently been to see the quilt exhibition at the Textile Museum in London. It was so exciting seeing these amazing objects from such a close up. Amazing craftmenhip!!!! I'm a big fan of Kaffe and have several books I look at ever so often and am currently working in the Lily Pad Frog tapestry. Kaffe is the kind of guy one wants to meet once in a life time. And I love the selection of all of his beautiful shirts.
Thoroughly enjoyed this interview with Kaffe Fassett. One thing, the beautiful floral quilt Ms. Reid called hexagon flowers is actually an octagon (8 sides).
I’ve made my bell trouser out of the blue wheel vegetable’s why quilt I want to make cloths with the beautiful fabrics I have two much choice,luv kaffe and Brandon and Philips thank you teresa
Kaffe I so feel like you,I’m an old lady I think I’m old,I’m loosing my eyesight,I can’t do enough of your thing materiel for Christmas book for birthday,I luv you sample scale but I can’t see the pattern in the book,I like colour and the materiel that gives me the shivers,your blue and green pots is my favourite painting and I luv the work Brando does is so stunning I just luv you all luv teresa
Thrilled and amazed when I heard My Brilliant Career is a favourite movie! Gillian Armstrong's first movie which I saw for the first time in the 70s. Usually when people are asked what's their favourite film they mention some big American thing everyone knows. A smallish Aussie film - such a change!
I've always thought quilting was art, just likemusic is poetry. All interconnected. All wonderful. I'm inspired by my grt get grandmother's quilt which I've inherited. Made mostly from clothing scraps, she was seamstress for the small country town, it's amazing how colourful clothing was in the 19th century.
Do you mean The American Museum in Bath? If so, yes I think so in early 2000 I saw it there by chance with my mother. We went to see the museum's collection of quilts and Kaffe's were in a good sized annexe building,
Get BOLDER! That is a sensational Kaffebit! My lament is, that I have fallen in love with Kaffes Free Spirit Collections and.... they are no longer available. How sad.
I could listen to Kaffe Fassett's enthusiasm all day - great to hear another interview from this guy.

I have just lost my husband after 54 years of marriage. I love crocheting. And you have inspired me to do more colour in my hobby
You are brilliant
I love Kaffe and I love color!

Fab interview. Well done. Pleased he’s so ‘human’ but with his love of art and colour and creativity, how can he not be. Loved it.

I'm inspired by Kaffe - we should all learn how to knit, weave, and sew, and become more creative and mindful.
