I am so glad you have stopped by my web site. I would love for you to browse around, look at some of my quilts and see the workshops and lectures I have to offer. My husband, Joe, says I am so passionate about my quilting and he is correct. I love to quilt. I am also passionate about teaching. I enjoy sharing what I have learned with others.

I consider myself very lucky in that my quilts have won awards and have been shown on the covers of magazines, including Quilter's Newsletter Magazine. I recently read a wonderful quote from Oprah. "Luck is preparation meeting opportunity. If you hadn't been prepared when the opportunity came along, you wouldn't have been lucky." So even though I have been very lucky along my journey some if it is because I have worked very hard to improve with each and every quilt I make.

I hope you enjoy your journey looking through my web site and will feel free to contact me if you should have any questions.

After many requests we are finally able to give you Perfect Ovals™. They work just like our Perfect Circles®. There are 20 ovals in each package, 2 of each size along with detailed directions.

I am very excited about our other new product, Perfect Pulls™. Each one is unique. They are designed by local glass artist Deborah Feller. I use my pull for my scissors but there are other uses for the retractable pulls as well. See the exciting seletion of pulls on our store page "Perfet Pulls".

Hand and Machine Appliqué The Karen Kay Buckley Way (DVD)

In this DVD I discuss all the supplies you’ll need, making templates, the appliqué stitch, inner and outer points, smooth curves, Perfect Circles, several methods to make stems, reverse appliqué and squaring the blocks. It really covers everything you'll need to know to have beautiful hand and machine appliqué. If you like appliqué you'll want this DVD. The close-up shots of the stitching are simply amazing. I do not hold back on anything. I tell you everything I know to help make your appliqué the best it can be.

The Appliqué Society says:
"All information on this DVD is presented in a clear easy to understand manner with excellent film work. It was a pleasure to get a peek at some of Karen’s many quilts used in the background as she moves from segment to segment."
