Karin Oostergaard - Denmark

---

Karin lives and works from a farm on the brink of the Danish fjord Limfjorden in the northern part of Jutland.
Her quilts are colourful and very often depicting the surrounding landscapes.
She mixes machine piecing, machine quilting and hand embroidery and quite often also adds texture in the form of different techniques to her surfaces.
Always having been creative she learned to sew from an early age from her mother and grandmother, so it was a natural thing for her to continue using textile techniques to express her joy of life and nature.
She started to exhibit in the nineties all over Denmark and abroad solo and with QQTextilkunst. Her mayor solo exhibitions are the patchwork meeting in Alsace, 2007 and Festival of quilts in 2013.
