She has a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Colorado, where she studied art, history and education. She made her first quilt in third grade as part of a section on learning about the American West. Since she was a small child, sewing, quilting, tailoring, leather and canvas work has been taught to her. She comes from a long line of sewists, makers, and re-creators. Karena Wells is an artist, teacher, tutor and lecturer. She and her husband have managed a successful small business for more than 30 years, and she recently launched her quilt venture appropriately named Kelly Loves Quilts. Kelly lives in the heart of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains and is a member of the Star Quilters Guild and the Virginia Consortium of Quilters. She’s always excited to book a class at your quilt shop or visit your guild for a lively gem workshop. When first introduced to my Birthstone Series and Diamond Diva Series, she knew she had found a totally different technique she wanted to share with confident beginners and seasoned quilters everywhere. She is an award-winning quilter who especially enjoys foundation paper piecing and hand appliqué. Kelly believes that teaching is learning, and learning is a lifelong journey. With a degree in Communications and Journalism she knows how to tell a story and share her love of quilting in small classes and large workshops. Now she turns her attention to bringing the joy of quilting to a new generation of eager students as a Gem Affiliate. Quilting has always been her refuge and her muse. She spent 35 years in local television news and has certainly seen her share of heroism and heartbreak. Kelly Zuber believes there is just something special about creating beautiful quilts that melts away the stress of the day. Registration is now open!
