About Karen Johnson
Pick a spot on the Oregon/Washington coast that has a place to stitch and you've made Karen happy--rain and wind be darned! Karen has quite a few hobbies in addition to sewing, and there's a pecking order: quilting, knitting, crochet, and embroidery. Thereís dabbling too--jewelry making, beading, photography, macramé, and basket making. (She formed a guild for that last one.) Karen has worked for such well-known companies as REI and Crafts Americana Group--home of KnitPicks, Artist's Club, and Connecting Threads, where she created and moderated the popular online quilting community, Quilt With Us. She (and her two helpful kitties, Marty and Tucker) recently moved to Seattle to join Martingale.
