About Broken River Quilts

Hi, I'm Karen.

Welcome to Broken River Quilts.

I've been quilting for more than 40 years, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that quilts are about so much more than fabric and thread. They tell stories, celebrate life's special moments and become treasured gifts that are passed from one generation to the next.

Broken River Quilts began from my love of creating quilts and my desire to help others experience that same joy. I design quilt patterns that give you the confidence to create beautiful quilts, whether you're making your first quilt or you've been stitching for years.

I live on a small farm near Benalla in North East Victoria with my husband and our five very curious chickens. Our property backs onto the Broken River, which inspired the name Broken River Quilts. I also love the reminder that "broken" doesn't mean imperfect—it reminds me that quilts, like life, don't have to be perfect to be beautiful.
