Martingale acquisitions editor Karen M. Burns started with the company as an office-tour guide (getting paid in quilt books), and then quickly worked her way into the heart of the company. She's spent time as an account manager and as a communications coordinator, and now spends her time inviting a variety of popular designers to create and contribute to Martingale books. Karen has compiled many Martingale books and contributed to several more as a machine quilter, including "A Baker's Dozen, Jelly Babies, "and "Quilting with Fat Quarters". With a stack of more than 30 of her own quilts at home ready to be quilted, Karen compares herself to the cobbler whose children have no shoes--she's the quilter with no finished quilts. See less
