For about 20 summers, Karen Schoepflin Hagen hit the road and showed off her quilts in gymnasiums and cafeterias across the Western U.S. Now, the quilts she’s made over the past 45 years — hundreds of them! — cover the walls of the former Masonic Lodge in Genesee and are available for public viewing. “To me, it’s just a dream come true,” Karen said.

The two-story building on the corner of Laurel Street and Ash Avenue is called Kascha Quilts — named after the first two letters in each of her names. 

The public can view Karen’s work from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday through Saturday or by appointment. To schedule an appointment, call (208) 285-1786. There is no admission fee, but donations are accepted.

Our visit to the museum was a treat! Karen's enthusiasm and humor are infectious, and she has so many original ways to use fabric and create dimension and depth in her quilts.
