Her mom told her she could make a living doing LA quilting, and Karen did, but only after a long learning curve and her own inventivness! And now...the rest is history. So here are some pictures. I asked her if I could post them, and she gave me permission.
thats awesome that you got to meet her. She is amazing, wish she would come hang out at my house for just one day :) and ...I agree with everyone else on the quilt with the gorgeous border. It was meant to be the way she made it. |

Your post was the final "pro" I needed in my list of pros and cons and I just registered to take her class that will certify me to be an instructor in McTavishing. Woo Hoo, I am so excited.

I have taken a class from her and won her class sampler. I was tatally siked..

What wonderful work. I don't blame her I would have kept the quilt. It had a beautiful boarder. What a great day you had.
