Hi, I’m Carole. I
live in Burke, Virginia and have been quilting for 20
years. I started out hand sewing squares together just because I love
the look and feel of fabric. That was at the age of 9. I took up serious
quilting 20 years ago after taking my first quilting class. Just think
the rotary cutter wasn’t even popular yet! The first few years were
taken up making quilts for my 4 grandchildren and 3 children. Now that the
grandchildren each have 5 quilts (the oldest grandchild is only 7!), it was
time to move on to new things. I started teaching 10 years ago and
enjoyed it immensely. Then one day someone asked me to fix a hole in her
grandma’s quilt and that was the start of my business. I have always
loved the look of the old quilts. I have been collecting fabric at
antique shops and stores all over the country and now have a stash that
allows me to repair and match most anything. Over the years I have made
hundreds of quilts for customers both repairing their heirlooms and making
new ones.
I retired in 2000 as
the CFO of a wine importer and distributor and now devote full time to my
quilting.
