Artist Spotlight Karen Eckmeier: Laid-Back Creativity

Artist Spotlight Karen Eckmeier: Laid-Back Creativity

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
