Karen lives in the small town of Simcoe, Ontario, Canada, which is on the north shore of Lake Erie about 2 hours west of Buffalo, New York. Karen says, "I have loved doing Celtic-style applique for several years, both by hand and by machine, and have been teaching the technique as well.  I teach a Celtic class and many other classes through a quilt shop called Quilters' Haven in the village of Renton which is just five miles from Simcoe."

Wallhanging made from multicolor batik and black, unknown source.

This quilt has blocks that were designed by Philomena Durcan from her book Celtic Quilt Designs.  Lynn decided to use one of Scarlett's borders from her first book, Celtic Style Floral Applique, to finish off this quilt.  The Celtic border is also available in "Celtic Medallion IV" as a pattern or as an e-pattern.
