Karel’s Kreations

The Dresden Plate pattern is a beloved favorite among quilt lovers and it’s a great way to use up those scraps that quilters always have too many of. Karel chose a basket of flowers and used a combination of wool appliqué with traditional appliqué on the central block. The triple border with small 9-patches in each of the corners highlights each block beautifully. There’s plenty of hand-quilting to be seen in the surrounding background triangles. A blue border fabric with tiny flowers in it completes the look.

Karel’s signature patch and a hanging sleeve are included on the back of the quilt.

The classic Whig Rose appliqué design has been used along with the 8-pointed star block in this design. The clever placement of light and dark fabrics have created a unique secondary diagonal design. The additional appliqué flowers in the center blocks are a sweet accent too. Done in classic colors with beautiful hand-quilting makes this a lovely quilt for your home.

This Christmas themed Sampler is Karel’s 2nd version of the Christmas favorite. Using some of her favorite Christmas blocks, such as a Cardinal, Christmas tree, little red truck hauling a tree and Father Christmas pulling a tree on his sled are featured among pieced blocks. Karel’s love of Christmas fabrics is worth taking a closer look at in this festive quilt. Candy canes amidst holly leaves on a deep red background border the quilt and show off tiny hand quilted stitches.

Five Dresden plates, set on point are featured in this fine, traditional quilt. The Dresden plates are machine pieced and then hand appliquéd onto the background squares. They are surrounded by Karel’s signature triple borders and corner squares as the sashing. Cross-hatching has been hand quilted on the set in triangles to create a small diamond pattern. Many different fabric make up the petals in each Dresden plate for a “scrappy” look. A small floral print in a soft green was used to create a perfect frame for all the colors.

This stunning new quilt was inspired by Karel’s favorite time of the year, late summer, and all the beauty of flowers in her yard. From sunflowers to zinnias, warm hues in golds, reds, oranges and plums play well together. The flowers are wool and are embellished with embroidery stitching with a Dresden plate at the very center. To create added interest, she used a number of different neutral prints for the center background square. The quilt is bordered in a green printed fabric to symbolize the color of leaves and how well this color goes with all the colors in nature. A hanging sleeve along with Karel’s signature patch are included on the back of the quilt.

Hollyhocks and a bluebird play nicely with flowers and buds alongside some of Karel’s favorite pieced blocks, including log cabin, churn dash and pinwheel. This quilt uses classic colors in this attractive design. It’s bordered in pretty floral fabric on a navy background for the perfect finish.
