In an English Country Garden
It’s a match made in heaven – the vibrant, colourful quilts
of Kaffe Fassett set against the backdrop of Hidcote Manor
Garden in the beautiful Cotswolds countryside. For his 21st
book in this popular series, he has chosen a classic style –
the frame quilt – to be photographed in a classic location.
Assisted by his team of designers and makers, Kaffe has
created a collection of fresh new designs, including all the
basic instructional text, diagrams, and templates to make the
quilts, plus a section on basic patchwork techniques for less
experienced quilters.

“This book is really another homage to the
long,richhistoryof thefolkartof quilts.
