In this Spotlight with Karen Eckmeier, teacher, author, and award-winning quilter, we explore her creative process and laid-back approach to the craft.
Karen is most known for her "Accidental Landscape" quilts, "Happy Villages", and her work with curves. I think you'll find this conversation inspiring and encouraging as Karen is just delightful!
In this video, I talk with Karen about:
- Her creative process (it's VERY laid back and improvisational)
- How she designs her quilts
- Her surprising approach to color choices
- Where she finds her inspiration
- How she helps her students get out of their comfort zones
If you'd like to take Karen's Accidental Landscape class, you can do so by joining Meander (an International Online Quilt Guild). Learn more / join Meander, here.
You can find Karen's books and patterns on her website.

Thanks for sharing Karen’s stunning quilts, you both are inspirations!
Loved Karen’s quilts! Would be interested in a class.
I actually took a class from Karen and I love the landscape that I was able to create. The class taught me how to be freer with fabric and design. I loved the class.
love Your Landscapes.
What a marvelous interview. Thank you both for doing this.
