An afternoon with Carol Doak
It's been a crazy month since my class with Carol Doak, and most of it was spent without Internet at home. I don't know what I would have done without my Blackberry.
Carol was a great teacher, she made paper piecing very easy although it's not fool-proof. I cut through the paper pattern a couple of times during class. The picture above is of me at the class, Carol took it. :)
We were lucky enough to see several of her paper pieced quilts, including one that has 300 paper pieced blocks in it.
Since the class I've made one of her paper pieced heart blocks to serve as my name tag at the Mississippi Valley Quilt Guild and I'm almost done piecing the top to the wall hanging we started during class.
