GENESEE â Karen Hagen, who stitches her imagination into fabric art, has created a quilt display that is a treasure trove in downtown Genesee, which is halfway between Moscow and Lewiston, Idaho.
Hagen recently remodeled the old Masonic Lodge, owned by her lifelong friend, Eva-Marie Sher and her husband, Ron Sher, and turned it into Kascha Quilts, a private exhibit open to the public, free of charge, Thursdays through Saturdays, year-round from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. or by special request.
The Shers have moved to western Washington where they operate the Organic Farm School on Whidbey Island.
Inside the multi-level building with a twisting staircase, Hagen displays about 360 of her one-of-a-kind quilting projects, many that have been hand-stitched. There is a giant quilt in the shape of the United States. The fabric of each state is printed with the state flowers.
