Fiber Artist, Commercial Interior Designer &
FPQG member. Karen says, “My work is an outward
expression of an inward emotional response to
the everyday influences of the world around me…
things that press in demanding to be seen
and felt. I love using fabric and fibers to
create visual interpretations that are also
tactile, engaging the viewer to not only see and
think, but also to desire to reach out and touch.”
APRIL-2011 - "One Woman’s Scraps Are Another Woman’s Quilts"

that press in demanding to be seen and felt. I love
using fabric and fibers to create visual interpretations
that are also tactile, engaging the viewer to not only
see and think, but also to desire to reach out and
touch.”
DECEMBER-2010 - "Pot Luck - Holiday Celebration"
NOVEMBER-2010 - “Raggedy Reverse Appliqué”, host: Kim
Deneault enjoys introducing quilting in a fun, fast and forgiving way!
She is the designer of “Raggedy Reverse
Deneault patterns. Each finished project
has so much texture that everyone who
sees it, wants to touch it!
Kim is originally from North Dakota. She
has also made a home in Indonesia, South
Africa, Kansas, Texas, Louisiana, Virginia,
and North Carolina. She travels around
the world speaking and teaching
her simple quilting technique.
Kim has seventeen patterns that are great for
everyone! These quick projects can start with
a pillow cover then continue on to bigger
projects like a wall hanging or quilt. PBS
“Sewing With Nancy” will feature Kim and
her book on an upcoming episode in 2009-2010.
Kim taped with Ricky Tims and Alex Anderson in LaVeta CO for
TheQuiltShow.com. The segment is now available for viewing
on their website. Kim and her designs were seen on HGTV
Simply Quilts with Alex Anderson. Quilter’s World Magazine
featured a new pattern of Kim’s in their December 2006 issue.
Krause Publishing released Kim’s “Raggedy Reverse Applique” book
in July, 2007. Quilters News Network (www.QNNtv.com) is
currently showing three KidzSew programs that Kim filmed on
her farm in North Carolina and in her studio in Atlanta.
Kim worked with the Home Sewing Association on the Girl Scout
Bali Blossom Pillow Cover Kits. 5000 kits were sent to the HSA
which then distributed these kits to Girl Scouts free of charge.
Kim has also taped for PBS New Mexico on Creative with
Cheryl in 2006. Kim only started Living quilting 6 years ago.
All these exciting events have taken place in that short span!
Oh, I almost forgot to mention, Kim also was fighting breast
cancer with three lumpectomies and finally a mastectomy during
this time too.
OCTOBER-2010 - "Brenner Tree Workshop/Program"

Kathleen Baden will feature a trunk show and have a special guest and friend,
Karen Poetzinger. Karen is very well known for her hand dyed wools and has
taught rug hooking for almost 30 years. She is a member of the Piedmont
Craftsmen. She will have several hooked pieces using appliqué patterns and
will also have some of her wools for sale.
AUGUST-2010 - Shirley Hummel:
"A Square in a Square."
