Karel’s Kreations

The Wheels on the Bus song is what inspired this fun children’s quilt which features a sunny yellow bus in the center. Whimsical cars and a pick up truck, done in cheerful colors with embroidered details surround the bus. The pattern feature bright colored patchwork which frame the hand appliquéd blocks. The border fabric echos the cars and bus as the children on bikes and jumping rope ride around the border. This playful quilt is ready to become a child’s beloved snuggle blanket right now. The workmanship is beautifully done and the hand quilting enhances the overall design. A hanging sleeve and Karel’s signature tag are included on the back of the quilt.

A Christmas wreath with a cute little cardinal are the center of this new quilt design. Look closely at all the hand embroidered pine needles tucked behind holly and berries in the wreath. Ribbon star blocks surround the wreath along with corner poinsettia and pinecone blocks. A checkerboard inner border highlights the center wreath design.

This is one of Karel’s most popular designs, the trumpet flower, and it continues to be a customer favorite. Winding trumpet flowers, vines and leaves are surrounded by small log cabin blocks and primitive stars in each of the 4 corners.

Karel enjoys incorporating many different fabric prints in her designs along with hand quilting and hand appliqué that are beautifully done.

A classic color palette was chosen for this charming, original Starberry design. Using pieced, neutral log cabin blocks for the center background was a creative choice. Stars and berries with a center flower are beautifully appliquéd along with precise piecing done on the corner log cabin and 54-40 or fight star blocks. Hand quilted diamonds called cross-hatching has been used on the background triangles that surround the center. All the elements of this design come together in such a delightful way in this stunning quilt. A hanging sleeve and Karel’s signature patch are included on the back of the quilt.
