Kaarin Smith of " Kustom Quilts by Kaarin" creates BEAUTIFUL custom quilts of original designs and patterns.
Although Kaarin's been sewing for as long as she can remember, it's hard to believe that "quilting" is something she took up just 3 years ago.
" I love quilting...it's a lot like music for me. I am able to express how I feel and it comes out in my work."
" I like having the ability to have a choice when I make quilts. It's all up to interpretation of it ...you can pick and choose whatever you want and put it however you want"... Kaarin goes on to say... "There's something about taking material, cutting it up...and making it greater!"
Well said, Kaarin.
Thus far, her very favorite quilt she created is the absolutely gorgeous "Kimono Quilt"
(see pictures below)
Kaarin created the "Kimono" pattern all on her own....its one-hundred percent Kaarin's own personal design....from the strategic fabric choices to the beautiful kimono patch-work center.
" The 'Kimono Quilt' is my fav because I was able to make my own pattern, and the person I was making it for is a really good friend!....I was also able to prove to myself that I could do something great...and it would look perfect!"
Iv'e had the pleasure of seeing and photographing Kaarin's work in person...."WOWZA!'...lol
Absolutely stunning work...the detail in some of it, is just beyond me.
She really enjoys doing custom work and creating her own patterns and designs for cliental...
"It's the best thing seeing the person's reaction when they recieve it....a piece of you becomes a part of them"...
Kaarin will have a few "ready to purchase" pieces available at my Fall Festival booth. Be there to view Kaarin's work! Purchase or order your very own Kaarin's Kustom!
