Kaffe Fassett talks about his early beginnings when he left home for England and some "finishing." The video celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Nepenthe restaurant in Big Sur, CA which Kaffe's family has owned and operated since it opened in 1949. The history of the Nepenthe is quite interesting with ties to Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, but if you want to learn about Kaffe, he starts talking about his early creative life around 18:16, where he discusses knitting, needlepoint, and Vogue magazine.

TheQuiltShow.com is celebrating its 10 years online with a makeover. We contracted with Internet Experts to identify what people want online. Is it exciting titles that include:
"Jawdropping..." or
"The Audience wasn't Ready for this Moment..." or
"The One Thing You Should Never..."
Or is it something else? Well TQS has spent over $100,000 to find the answer of what internet viewers want.
The experts told us to think about the 1 Top Reason Everyone goes to the Internet.
We think we may have it nailed. The experts have put together a new front page for us. Are we on the right track? Send this to your friends. We need all the opinions we can get.
