During forty years of quilting, Carol has become interested in making both quilts and small quilted projects such as zipper bags, tote bags, table runners and table mats. Smaller projects do not require a large investment of time or materials, and therefore provide a perfect opportunity to exercise creativity.

As a retired physician, she enjoys bringing her technical mind to quilting.  She enjoys figuring out how to make the construction process easier while producing better results. She has also refined techniques for building, organizing, and using a fabric stash that make it a joy to have and to use.  She enjoys free motion quilting, quilting with the walking foot, and using metallic thread for quilting. 

Carol has been teaching quilting classes for more than a dozen years.  She loves sharing her knowledge with others and encouraging students as they try new projects and techniques. One of her favorite aspects of teaching is seeing students succeed at completing a challenging project.  Another is seeing students have “Aha!” moments during which they see how simple changes in construction technique can help them create projects that are fun to make and look great.

Carol teaches in both lecture and hands-on workshop formats, both online and in person. She has taught at local quilt shops, quilt guilds throughout the United States, the International Quilt Festival/Houston (2021-2024), the International Quilt Festival/Long Beach (2023) and the Great Wisconsin Quilt Show (2022-2024).  Her on-demand online class Walk Around the Block:  Machine Quilting with the Walking Foot is available on Creative Spark.

 Carol’s patterns for quilts and small quilted projects have been published in Quilter’s World, Fons & Porter’s Quick and Easy Quilts, and in books by Annie’s Quilting.
