Karen's Shade Cascade fabric, yes, we still have it in stock!

This is Karen's unique design. . . created by a quilter, for quilters!

It's all here on one bolt!   Each fabric gradates from light to dark across the bolt, each stripe is 11". It is useful in piecing as well as appliqué. It will give a realistic look to appliqué patterns and is useful in creating illusions when piecing quilts.

It solves the problem of "finding" a light, medium and dark fabric within a color family. It's all there within one fabric!  Available in 1 yard cuts on Karen's Online Store.

Karen's newest book!

Celtic Pieced Illusions!

Piecework enthusiasts rejoice! Now great Celtic designs can be created with only two simple blocks. Quilters traditionally use appliqué to create Celtic designs. Instead, Karen has translated knot work into pieced patterns. She found she can create many Celtic designs with two, three, or more blocks, so the possibilities are unlimited.

Famous for her use of color and color illusion, the author shows how to use color, texture, and value to add excitement to Celtic quilts. She shares her simple design concepts for those who want to design their own Celtic quilts, while providing piecing tips, pressing options, and quilting ideas. Even beginning quilt makers can tackle these colorful quilt patterns. Teaching tips and lesson plans are included for quilt teachers and shop owners.   Order Online
