Karel’s Kreations

Karel’s heritage is rich in quilting history with generations of quilters behind her on both sides of her family.  As a young girl her mother taught her how to sew her own clothing which ended up being a great foundation, but it was sleepovers at her Grandma’s, with patient lessons in learning hand embroidery, that contributed to her love of hand sewing.

 At the time of her wedding her Grandma taught her step by step how to make a quilt which resulted in her wedding quilt and a passion for the art of quilting was born. Working for many years at a local quilt shop increased her knowledge of quality fabric and quilting techniques.

For 25 years Karel has been creating unique wall quilts and accent pillows to sell locally.  With a love for whimsical design, and combining appliqué with piecing and touches of embroidery, she especially enjoys creating seasonal wall quilts and pillows.

Residing all of her life here in Lancaster County,  she lives with her husband and their little dog.  She loves spending time with her family and being a Grammy. When she’s not sewing you’ll likely find her cooking, gardening, or reading.

  • Floral Wreath

    A Quilt by Karel's Kreations
    Size: Small Quilts
    42 inches wide by 42 inches long
    kkq10108

    A graceful wreath is the focal point of this stunning small quilt.  Tulips, buds and flowers are combined in a pleasing arrangement with corner appliqué blocks radiating out from the center wreath.  The ribbon star blocks make a bold statement as they frame the central wreath and next comes a checkerboard border just to set it all off.  Karel chose to use civil war reproduction fabrics because the tiny prints lend themselves so well to the small appliqué pieces.  The variety of fabrics includes stripes, florals and geometrics that add extra interest to the quilt.  As you can see from the border, the hand-quilting is beautiful as well.
