This should be framed. Its beautiful

He is the best! I've heard of him over 30 years ago.

Love your pillow & can tell we like some of the same things in needle point. I spent 3 years as a young girl in Japan & learned so much besides all types of needle work & fiber arts. Doll making of traditional Japanese dolls, flower arrangement. So many years later ,looking at my home you can tell that has had an enormous influence on my decorating ideas. It has certainly been a labore of love after almost a forty year marriage of two artists we have no empty surfaces to cover . I am just finishing the last sweater after knitting all 5 grandchildren ski-sweaters for their Christmas gifts. I have health issues with my eyes & my hands ,so I rotate what hand crafts I do as well as my hand exercise. Knitting in the round in one color , I can rest my eyes or even switch to machine sewing. I just have to have thread or yarn as part of my day. If I paint during the daylight, I feel guilty I didn’t spend enough time on my needle work.

This is so lovely! What a wonderful project to have worked on. Thank you for sharing.

This is beautiful and thank-you for sharing how you made it into the final cushion. A great video ❤

You are an unintentional asmr queen. This vid puts me out cold in less than 5 mins.

Exquisite work

Such a gorgeous labor of love!

wow, this pillow is so well executed and love the bold colors. your orange fabric indeed a perfect partner.

Love the background you give, as well as your art!

His book Glorious Needlepoint has some charts like those that can be reproduced and enlarged to work off of for a variety of projects. AbeBooks is an easy way to find any out of print stitching books if an aging needlepointer hasn't already heaped you with a small library.

Good news on the price front: Kaffe cushion kits at Ehrman are usually around £70 for a square shape and that would include all the wools plus the fabric with the pattern already printed onto it (much easier). Better again, wait for the January sales at Ehrman, which are tremendous. This fanshaped cushion is not currently in the range, but it is a printed pattern in one of Kaffe's books (not sure which one, but have a look at local bookstore and library). Many of his books are still in print but also in the UK available secondhand for under £5. It's a great pattern and bravo for accomplishing it. I recently visited his current exhibition in Edinburgh: "Kaffe Fasset: the Power of Pattern" and the glorious finale was a huge stacked wall of completed needlepoint cushions: stunning.

Simply beautiful!

Fabulous! I’m inspired to try my hand at needlepoint. I’m currently working on an appliqué quilt using Kaffe Fassett fabrics. 💝

Fabulous:) extremely difficult to do without a pattern.

It’s gorgeous! You did an amazing job. 🌟 I love this so much that I searched high and low and found the chart on eBay UK and can’t wait for it to arrive!

That is really pretty, I've been doing cross stitch, I got a bit bored of crochet after years of doing it. I'm definitely going to try this out though. Thank you for your inspiration ❤

Beautiful piece. I stitched Fassett’s Geisha from his Glorious Needlepoint book. The book is full of wonderful patterns.

Gorgeous work! : )

Beautiful! I love needlepoint, even though I've only done a few smaller pieces so far, and all from vintage kits. I'm going to have to keep an eye out for Kaffe Fassett's books. His use of color is fantastic!

Hand painted canvas goes much easier! I, in awe that you transposed on a grid

I made Honeyman’s fan kit, expensive. It had no roses like the gorgeous one shown here. I was very disappointed in the ugly colors, turned out drab, so I’m backing it with hot pink moire and some gold and black braid trim.

Can you please tell me where you found the gridded canvas? I never knew this canvas came gridded! If you did it yourself can you tell me the process please! Thank you so much and lest I forget your work is beautiful! Thanx for sharing it!

That turned out so lovely. I’ve done some needlepoint cushions as well, but on stiffer canvas. The canvas you’ve used looks so much more comfy for a cushion.

Eye brow makeup

What kind of canvas do you use, it looks soft not stiff?

I have looked “high and low” for the pattern. Do you know the title of the book where it maybe published? eBay doesn’t have a paper pattern. A kit would be perfect. Thank you.
