Oh my gosh!! Kaffe Fassett is amazing in person too!! His lecture was a highlight of my quilting life!! He spoke off the cuff, no notes, just about his inspirations for his colors!! He mixed his knitting and quilting (patchwork as he calls it). He'd show a picture of something then how that picture evolved into a sweater and a quilt, a needlepoint pillow or tapestry or even a mosaic. He sees color in everything!! He had his new book, which I got autographed along with one of my others!! My Mom (she came with me) had a light jacket on that had stripes of all his colors (complete coincident, since she didn't know him at all) and he commented on it and touched it. She said she may never wash the jacket again. Even she was mesmerized by him, she's not a quilter or needle art person at all, but she found him very interesting and wonderful to listen to him get excited by the color!!

My second tribute to Kaffe (all his fabrics in the center of the blocks, his quilt like this one is on his next book coming out - now)
A quilt at the welcome center into North Carolina, I've always wanted to take a picture of it, now I have it. It's awesome!!
We are on our way to see the Gamecocks play (#6 in the nation people!!, thank you Steve Spurrier whom I don't like by the way!) then tomorrow a SIS BBQ fundraiser, then next Saturday our Halloween Party!
