Houston Awards Ceremony, and a New Endeavor…

Hey everyone! So last time I wrote, I talked about my quilt The Royal Huntress, and I was waiting to go to Houston International Quilt Festival to find out what the results of the competition would be. Well, I went, and here is what happened… Well there you have it folks! When I originally entered my quilt into the competition, I entered it into the “Surface Design” category, which was required because the fabric was custom printed. It could have easily gone into the whole cloth quilt category, or especially the embellished category. Anyway, I guess the judges felt that […]

So much has happened!

I know you’re probably thinking to yourself, “Oh wow. A Blog post from Karlee. She hasn’t blogged in like 43 years!” Well, I know. I am guilty of not keeping up in the blogosphere but it hasn’t been for lack of being productive! So much has been going on, and I wanted to take a moment to share the latest and greatest news with you all. First of all, remember how last year my quilt “Disparity” won first place in the Houston International Quilt Festival? Well, I created another competition quilt for Houston, and not only did it get in […]

The Royal Huntress

For those of you who have been following my work, I’m sure you were dying to see my quilt “The Royal Huntress” all finished! Instead of writing all about it, I made this video to share with you all. This will give you a glimpse into the process, conception, embellishment and completion of this quilt!

Creating new from the old…

Hello buddies! It’s the beginning of a new month, you know what that means! NEW COMPUTERIZED QUILTING DESIGNS! I am so super duper fricken’ super excited to show you this latest collection. But, let me give you a little background first… In about 2013, I was being really super experimental in my free-motion quilting (that experimentation is what lead me to creating and writing the book on Graffiti Quilting.) As I was experimenting with Graffiti Quilting and the many different ways I could use the same technique with different formulas, one formula I came up with was this: -Start at […]

Karlee Curls For Everyone!

Hey my lovely people! I hope you all have been enjoying your 2018 thus far. Things over here have been quite crazy, to say the least. I booked myself a pretty busy first quarter of the year, and I am super excited to tell you all about what I’ve got going on in the next couple months. First of all, for all you computerized quilters out there, as per usual, I have a few new fun designs that have just launched. Over the last 15 years or so (way before I got into quilting) there was this design that I […]

New Year, Same Me.

I know that I am writing this a little bit late into the new year. But I feel like 2018 is going to be just a little bit different for me. Last year, instead of setting concrete New Years Resolutions, I decided to choose a word that I wanted to emulate throughout the year. Last year, that word was “Hustle”. This year, after much soul-searching, I have decided that the word I want to emulate this year is “Content”, as in, learning to be content in life. As in, being content with where I am in life, and not always […]
