ME


Hi! I am Karen, a North Dakota girl living in the Minneapolis burbs with Chris, my husband of 15 years.  I am a 40-ish SAHM to 2 very busy boys: Jon, age 9 and William, age 5.


When I have ANY free time I enjoy quilting, sewing, decorating & gardening.  Before I had kids, I worked very competently in the fast paced financial world... I wore a business suit nearly every day and commuted 50 miles each way to work. Nowadays, I just TRY to keep up with these boys of mine and sometimes even stay in my pjs all day!  I aspire to develop my quilting passion into an entrepreneurial endeavor of some sort...making my commute just two flights of stairs down to my sewing machine.
