Carol Schmold - Traditions - Roots and Branches

Beginning in 1999 Carol discovered the joy of quilting and the history of quilts.  Through the years she has grown from a traditional quilter into a contemporary art quilter but always resorts back to the skills and knowledge of the past.  This trunk show demonstrates her fascination with the historical side of quilting and how it continues to lead her in a more contemporary way of working.
