Her award-winning quilts have been exhibited nationally and internationally in such venues as Visions, Husqvarna Viking Masterpieces touring Exhibition.
For Carol, the ability to dye any color and the increased understanding of the interaction of colors opens the door to spontaneity and intuitive use of color in her work.  It is this joyful key to color she hopes to give her students.
