The newest class Karen offers, this one packs a punch!
With prairie points, that is! Using Karen's innovative
technique, quilters will make a Bears Paw "With Claws" and learn
how they can put a prairie point into
ANY half square triangle. In addition
Karen teaches Log Cabin blocks and the phenomenal 3D Flying
Geese border. This quilt is one that any quilter would

This block is so much fun
to make with the prairie points. Large 14" blocks means
this adorable table runner goes together quickly. Add a
few more blocks and you have a great bed runner. Fast, fun
class in a no stress environment. Calgon take me away!

There's something very appealing about this very simple quilt. I
think it's
the "hidden treasures". Every time I see it, I come up with more
ideas.....like using it for an "I Spy" quilt or as a "Blessing" quilt.
Imagine if under the prairie points, there were handwritten notes about
why you felt so fortunate to have the recipient in your life! The
possibilities are endless. Where will your imagination take you?
Class features how to make prairie points and how to incorporate them
into your quilt tops. In addition, Karen teaches three different
border options. A lot of great information in a fun and friendly
format. Easy enough for beginners, but fun for quilters of all
skill levels.

This is one of my favorite
quilts!!!
Maybe it's the colors, or perhaps, it's the way you can just
 turn the blocks and come up with so many different designs!
Whatever it is, it sings to my soul! Have fun with this one, but
watch out, it could be addictive!

Tumbling Blocks - with NO inset seams
Workshop Materials and Supplies
Full Day Workshop
I love the look of the Tumbling Blocks quilt, but will admit to hating
having to do "inset" seams. Well, this pattern allows you to
achieve the look, without the fuss! Another quilt that's easy
enough for beginners, yet fun for all to put together.

The cover quilt from the book "Better Together".
Two blocks and a great setting combine to make a quilt that has
lots of eye appeal. Add the split two color border, and
learn how to change your binding color at the miter . This
is a fun filled class loaded with tips and techniques, and the
results - Fantastic!

A few things I love about this class...... It's fast, it's
easy, and it can be done in a day! Use any large scale print, you
know, the ones you can't bear to cut up, pick two coordinating colors,
and get ready to get done! Suitable for beginners, but fun for
quilters of all skill levels.

Seasonal Wreath Quilt

Half Day Workshop

You'd be surprised, pleasantly so! At how quickly this little
quilt goes together! I love the fact that I can hang it at
Christmas time, but also, that I can make other versions to reflect all
the seasons of the year! Can't you see it as a fall wreath, with
all those beautiful reds, oranges, golds and greens? How about the
soft pastels of spring, or the warm and vibrant colors of summer?
So many options, so little time!

Love this little quilt so much so that I have made it in three different
color ways. Striking here with purples and batiks, but also
beautiful in blues and browns or peaches and greens. Workshop
teaches two different blocks and how to do pieces setting and corner
triangles. Love the way the prairie points give dimension to the
butterflies as they dance across the quilt.
