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.
