Carolyn is an accomplished quilt maker, teacher and author of several books and patterns. Carolyn has been sewing quilts for over 20 years and just loves using up scraps. She is constantly inspired by vintage quilt blocks that she finds on her travels and she brings them up-to-date with modern construction techniques – stitch n’ flip and Quilting on the Go are two of her favourites. She teaches both in the UK and abroad. You’ll always find her at the Houston Quilt Festival and Market. She likes her classes to be a relaxed atmosphere where students can work at their own pace, develop new skills and gain confidence in their creative ability and she is keen to include advice on quilting designs and binding. She has recently shared with us her ‘Joy of Sewing’ and we have a whole series of workshops coming soon on how to sew patchwork by hand – a great alternative to English Paper Piecing and not a stitch in sight!

Signature Technique:

Quilting-on-the-Go. Enjoy small bits of quilting without the dread of quilting in one go.

Top Tips:

– Mix fabrics, even if they are not from the same collection, manufacturer or decade.
– Little quilts are great because you can finish sooner and get ideas for larger quilts
