About Me
- Selvage Quilter
- Litchfield, Connecticut, United States
- Quilt-making is my passion. I love the creative process. Sharing my artwork and the artwork of others on my blogs has become a favorite part of my day. Share your selvage creations by emailing photos to me at karengriska@optonline.net. Take a look at my new book: "Quilts from the Selvage Edge" published by AQS. Quilt collectors and quilt lovers will want to visit my Etsy store: Karen Griska Quilts. My husband and I live in the beautiful hills of Litchfield, Connecticut. We have two grown sons: a photographer in Nashville TN, and a glass artist in CT. We enjoy hiking, photography, watching movies, eating pizza, and visiting with family.

Wow!!! Too pretty to eat.
Very-very-very beautiful cookies!
Definitely more elegant than what comes out of my kitchen, lol.
Those are amazingly gorgeous! Such talent!
Amazing is right, these are too pretty to eat,
I agree - too pretty to eat but they would be sweet (pun intended!) at a special tea party.
