And everything else.... - Karla's Quilts

And here is everything else..... prices are BEFORE shipping;
I think it will be lower for these smaller items and I'd like to be accruate.

Talk-About Books are the most popular item I’ve made. The background story is I saw a quilt called “Surprise” by created by Karen DuMont at Karie Patch designs. It had adorable “peek-a-boo” (my description) blocks. The teacher in me saw those blocks in a book!

I contacted Karen with my idea, and she gave me permission to go for it. So I worked on many prototypes until I got it just right.

All the first ones sold to friends, so one summer I made the goal of making 40 more. They all sold. Then I made 20 more, and still have about 7 left. I’ll definitely be making more.

My dil asked if I could make one smaller for the car, so I did. It has more pages, but no peek-a-boo pages. That one my daughter named “Talk About Too.” Love that. I only have one left, so making more is on the to-do list

These are washable and come with a page of suggestions on how to use it for vocabulary development and the building of a child’s imagination.

Customers had a hard time choosing which book(s) to buy. At craft shows, one would look through each of the books on the table, and set aside the maybes. Then go back to that pile and choose 1 or 2.

These photos show pages from different books. I had a few requests to make some more specific to boys, so there are some.

Custom books are not made, but we can chat and pick a book with at least one important fabric–such as kittens, farm animals, puppies…

10.5″ square. $37. Does not include shipping.

Two 18″ scrappy pillow covers. These were great fun to make. All batik fabrics give them an earthy feel. I love the quilting on these.

Envelope backs make washing easy.

Sold separately. #1 and #2. $30 each–does not include shipping.

Pillow form not included.

Pillow cover #1

Pillow cover #2

Another 18″ pillow cover. This is a wonky, scrappy log cabin made with batiks. I love the colors so much, I almost kept it, but it just doesn’t match where it’d have to go.

Some straight line quilting adds wonderful texture. And a deep orange envelope back finishes it perfectly.

Pillow form not included.

$30 Does not include shipping.

Log Cabin in Blue place mat. Several orphan blocks were used to make pretty place mats. The idea I had was older folks in assisted care facilities or nursing homes may not have room for a quilt, but might love a small version to use as a place mat.

12.25″ by 19.25″
