Seed Packet Quilt (Workshop Variation) with Kaffe Fassett and Brandon Mably
Tuesday, October 22, 2024 - 9:30am - 4:30pm (with a one-hour break for lunch)

Globally, Kaffe Fassett fans have enthusiastically embraced his Seed Packet Quilt. It’s sew much fun to search out bold blooms from your stash and shop for the latest blooms and fruits. Designing and sewing a Seed Packet Quilt is like planting a garden: browsing the catalogs (stash & LQS), planning the lay out and planting the seeds (working with Kaffe and Brandon and cutting the squares) and watching it grow (sewing your squares,) and finally reaping what you have sown/sewn (wrapping yourself up in your new quilt.) No sewing takes place during the workshop. No sewing machines needed.

The original Seed Packet Quilts is sumptuously photographed in the book Bold Blooms (pages 68, 69, and 147). In addition, Kaffe, Brandon and Liza have recolored Seed Packet twice more to feature fabrics available at the time. The most recent version may be found at FreeSpiritFabrics.com. 

The workshop Seed Packet variation is composed of 6" and 3 1/4" squares. It features large scale floral and vegetable and fruit fabrics fussy cut for each square. The blossoms or fruit should fill out the large 6" squares and small 3 1/4" squares. 

Choose your fabrics with an eye for them to create a harmonious arrangement. They should go together well - perhaps most will have a similar background or same level of brightness. 

You will need:
15-20 half yards of super large florals
15-20 half yards of medium/large florals
Please do not cut fabrics before class.

Beehive Quilt Shop will have kits. Request a kit by email to beehivequiltshop@gmail.com

Please feel free to bring any fabrics you would like to use to the workshop - these do not have to be Kaffe Fassett fabrics. If you are not sure how you are going to proceed, that is okay. You can bring your stash favorites and be prepared to shop with Kaffe and Brandon during the workshop. 

We suggest bringing a 6" WOF ruler and a 6" square ruler to make cutting fabric easier. You may wish to bring some washi tape to mark off your 3 1/4" square.

No sewing takes place during the workshop. No sewing machines needed. 

This workshop includes the full day of instruction with Kaffe and Brandon, refreshments and lunch, two yards of Kaffe's Flannel Grid Wall, and a Kaffe Fassett Reducing Glass.  

Beehive Quilt Shop will have an all day Pop Up Shop for attendees at The Hive Retreat House.

For those unable to attend the workshop - we will have lots of fun with Kaffe Collective fabrics at the Shop and classroom downtown, 122 N. Washington Ave. Wellington, KS 67152
