This eBook offers 14 projects with step-by-step instructions, plus tips and techniques which encourage the quilter and sewist to appreciate and embrace the different characteristics of combining these stunning fabric from the Artisan range designed by Kaffe Fassett for FreeSpirit.  For instance the “kantha” stitched whole cloth quilt is backed by a silky, smooth blush Ikat, allowing the heavier-weight quilting threads to easily pull through all layers while adding a luxurious feel and drape to the quilt.


“The idea of combining together different fabrics is hardly new: ‘make-do’ and ‘waste not’ are patchwork ideals. In Sew Artisan! you will see that these fabrics offer an opportunity that is well worth exploring,” said Kaffe.

  1. Oh yes, Rita, I am going to do this, I will certainly be the epic winner.
    I hope you are going to join the challenge! I know you would enjoy it, just for the fun.
    I love Kaffe's fabric designs. In the beginning his designs were a little over the top for me, but now I see he was just way ahead and pulled us along.
    I hope you have a happy week-end.
    Now I want to make that tent for my grand baby
