Wonderful Quilting Trips With Carol Doak
See Ireland The Way It Should be Seen
And Make New Friends Too!
October 1-8, 2010
I will be helping host this fabulous trip through McCall's Quilting Adventures this fall. If you read my blog in Februrary 2009 about the trip I co-hosted to New Zealand, you will know that McCall's does a trip like no other. This intinerary is just the right length but packed full with a combination of seeing the beauty and grace of Ireland and yet connecting on a personal level with local quilters and artisans. I can hardly wait and I would love to have you join us. Just click on the link above to read the full description, details and itinerary. THERE IS STILL TIME TO JOIN US!
Carol Doak Quilting Group
At the suggestion of one my students, I started a new group on Yahoo so those who enjoy making paper-pieced quilts from my patterns can share and chat. Our group has now grown to more than 5500 wonderful quilters from around the world. We are sharing photos of projects, participating in challenges and swaps and lots of sharing and fun are happening. I just started a Block of the Month for the group and the resulting blocks are fantastic!!! Read about us in the current Newsletter. Come and join the fun at:

CHECK OUT THE NEW MINATURE QUILT CDS!!
If you would like to take a class from me in the comfort of your home, this DVD is the answer. The DVD is broken into segments taking you through choosing fabrics, cutting fabrics quickly, getting organized to paper piece, assembly-line paper piecing, joining blocks and rows perfectly, how to measure, how to calculate yardage, how to make sure the fabric is going to fill the area and how to take out a mistake and much more. Just in case you think I don't make mistakes, we even included some of the fun bloopers from a day of filming. The July Book of the Month is the Simply Sensational 9-Patch Stars book. This is the book that I suggest for those who are just beginning their paper piecing journey because the blocks are so simple. They may be simple, but the creative oppotunities are mind blowing with 2500 combinations and many, many other options such as Storm at Sea and using the units for paper-pieced borders. It is already a great value coming with the Foundation Factory CD to print the foundations in any size you like. However, for the month of July, it is on sale at a reduced price.

What Are Quilters Saying About the Carol Doak Teaches You to Paper Piece DVD?
It is worth every penny and a delight to watch. I have been paper-piecing for a long time and learned new tips which goes to prove you can teach an old dog new tricks.
It was great! I'm new to paper piecing (never did it) and this video has taken all the mystery out of the process - Just Love It!
What a great clear and easy dvd to watch and learn from.
