Hi. I live in Normal, Il. Carol was so much fun to have as a teacher. She made things easy and solved some of my problems. I love The Treadle. Guess I’m not claustrophobic.

Carol,
Sew fun to see the quilt shops you traveled to while you were in my stomping grounds! Wish I could have made it to the class but I was in charge of a mini-retreat for our guild (Illini Country Stitchers) for that same weekend, in Danville, IL. at Threads of Time. You visited some awesome quilt stores – but you’re right about Vicki and The Treadle – oh man. I can hardly stand going in there – but she does have EVERYTHING! And if you know what you’re looking for, she will find it for you! But don’t try to go down the same aisle as your friend, cuz you won’t be able to! They are all one way only!! UGH!

Hi Mari: It is so nice to meet you here. Since you live in Houston, we might just run into each other at the International Quilt Festival in Houston. I will be there teaching classes and will present a “Meet the Teachers” on Friday. Bring your book and I would be happy to sign it then. So pleased you are enjoying paper piecing! All the best, Carol

Carol!
My name is Mariana, I am brazilian, but I live in Houston since octuber/2008. I started to quilt in the end of last year and I knew your job during my Paper Piecing Class at Sunflower, a quilt studio at Houston. Since that, I became a BIG fan yours. I have two of your publications: “300 Paper-Pieced Quilt Blocks” and the DVD “Carol Doak Teachers You to Paper Piece”, and I love them!!! Hopefully, I can have your autograph in both someday.
Congratulation, Carol, for your beautiful job!!!
Kisses,
Mari

Hi Carol
I will buy this book, it is very interesting, but I would like to know if there are the printed patterns for the stars or just the measurements to cut the pieces.
It’s more easy for me with the patterns. I am working on patchwork for a not long time ago.
Thank you very much in advanced for your answer.

I am looking for a quilt pattern called Granny Square Quilt. I saw it a while back at the gym and was unable to write down any info. It was an Alex Anderson episode and was about 2-3 years ago. My granddaught will be 13 in February and crochets Granny Square baby blankets for her church missions. I would like very much to make this quilt for her. If anyone can give me info on this quilt or a pattern, I would be very grateful.
Thanks, Pat Little
