Fascinating to hear about the evolution of this young artist. Her self awareness and exuberance are a wonderful tribute to her teachers and all the people in her life who encouraged her talent. I am looking forward to part 2 and to seeing some of her quilts, as promised.

I would have liked to see a sample of her quilts so I would have an idea of what she was talking about.

How does this differ from Zen Doodle Quilts?

Karlee is so interesting and so talented and only 25! Amazingly articulate! All the best in getting her BA! Can Dr. Karlee be far behind?
