ANCESTRAL
GIFTS, QUILT MUSEUM YORK
I have just come back from visiting this exhibition and
thought that some of you might like to see some the quilts which were on
display. For the last two years, Kaffe Fassett has worked with the quilt museum
exploring their historic collection and finding inspiration in the fabrics,
designs and stitching. The outcome is 15 new quilts made by him from his own
fabrics. The quilts in the exhibition are arranged in their pairs, showing the
historic quilts alongside his contemporary designs. The latter are a loose
interpretation rather than an historical copy in which he has tried to get the
spirit of the original.
Do you think he has succeeded? I would love to read your comments!
Yes Liz, I think he has brought his wonderful use of colour to delight us all. I heard about this exhibition just too late to make the trip to York so thank you for your 'photos
