 Since Karen’s first quilting class in 1982, she has sought every quilting class possible to improve her techniques. In 1986 she opened her own quilt shop and by 1988 began creating her own classes and patterns. In 1989 she left the shop owner aspect of quilting behind; she now devotes her time to teaching, designing and writing.
She is the author of six books; Earthy Delights: The Perfect Finish was released in 2006. The most recent is Japanese Garden Quilt. In 2008, she released her DVD, Hand and Machine Appliqué: The Karen Kay Buckley Way. Karen has appeared on “Simply Quilts” and the AQS show, “American Quilter.”
Karen has created more than 250 quilts and her work has received numerous awards including eight Best of Show. She has thirteen cover quilts to her credit and considers herself very lucky! In 1997, she was voted teacher of the year by The Professional Quilter. Her work has been featured in numerous magazines and calendars. |
