Carol has co-authored Playful Fabric Printing with Melanie Testa, published by Pokey Bolton of Crafting A Life LLC.
Carol specializes in teaching fabric dyeing and surface design techniques for quilters and fiber artists. She is widely known for her intensive color mixing classes where students learn to mix hundreds of colors using only yellow, red, and blue dyes. Carol offers a variety of workshops from 1 to 5 days in length. Carol was a finalist for Teacher of the Year in 2013 and again in 2015, awarded by International Creative Arts Professionals.
As a quilt artist, Carol is known for her use of color to create transparent, luminous, and dimensional effects of great subtlety. Her work incorporates hand-dyed, hand-printed, and discharged fabric in combination with commercial fabrics and intensive stitching.
Carol maintains an active teaching schedule throughout the United States and in Canada, teaching her color mixing techniques at ProChemical & Dye in Massachusetts and Nancy Crow’s Timber Frame Barn in Ohio and Pacific Northwest Art School in Washington. Her award-winning quilts have been exhibited nationally and internationally in such venues as International Quilt Festival (where she was a Best of Show winner!) Visions, Husqvarna Viking Masterpieces touring Exhibition.
