This is inspiring, taking photos and creating from them something new, beautiful, & innovative. I’m sure people are reacting to this process the same way they reacted to longarm or any type of machine quilting. It’s called progress! The old ways don’t disappear, they are enhanced with new creativity. This may not be for all quilters, the same as other techniques are not for all. Choose your favorite or favorites and let others do what you don’t choose to do. Appreciate all the creative juices being presented and see if you are inspired to create something new. What Caryl is doing is tedious, time consuming, meticulous work, similar to the time consuming process of longarm custom quilting. I appreciate all this entails. Thank you Alex for sharing Caryl’s work with us. 😊❤
Caryl is a quilt legend! Thank you for the shout out. The exhibit ends March 10, 2024. We're located in Winterset, IA. Very convenient to I35 and I80 and fingers crossed the snow is done and won't be coming back!
Wow what an amazing Quilt piecing that would have been a nightmare, even tho it is a printed piece the quilting is truly amazing.
Absolutely amazing - thank you. Caryl has taken whole cloth quilting to a whole new level 👏
How fabulous! Such a variety of techniques and skills!
Loved seeing Caryl’s fabrics in Houston. I even got into two of her classes in Houston. She is great.
Her use of color is the best
Alex
Thank you so much for Caryl’s interview!
I was in one of her very first lectures to her guild PSQG in the early 80s and she is still my inspiration. It’s her innovation now that still amazes me and has for almost 50 years 😊.
Her booth in Houston was o much fun. I stayed there a long time each time I visited and purchased her hand dyed fabrics. Omg. Fun fun fun.
I have sent my own photos of flowers to Spoonflower a la Dream Big panels. I wanted to make my own. They are so fun. Spoonflower is amazing.

Hello from Long Island, NY
Alex ! Im running out of superlatives!❤
I attended her Silver Star Awards dinner too
Does Caryl quilt these by long arm or domestic machine? Her quilts are amazing! I was lucky enough to take lessons from her way back in the day, lucky me! 😍
Hello from San Diego
Hi from Virginia
Make the puppy a quilt!
It looks like Caryl uses Corel Draw on a microsoft surface studio(very nice indeed) . The surface studio starting price is $7000 in Australia. Corel draw, is a bit more user-friendly than Photoshop..... Just if you want to get techy. You can get a cheaper surface tablet and stylus and it is good , it costs around the same as an ipad pro and stylus.
I have e to agree. Caryl quilts were at one time ground breaking, something you wish you could do. That is why she held classes. But this is nothing more than using a printed panel, quilting on it and calling it a work of art.
Hi
So sorry. Misspelled...Caryl
She looks like mine
I am sorry , I really loved her pieced quilts, but these new quilts , no. a big NO, they are when all is said and done, it is still all computer generated patterns and printed commercially on fabric , then quilted. Anyone who is adept on the computer can do this with photographs , have them commercially printed , have them quilted by a good longarm quilter and there you are. Caryl used to be able teach others how to piece amazing quilts, piecing and dyeing is very hard time consuming work and like most older quilters , she is tired of the hard work of dyeing and piecing so she just manipulates designs on her computer sends the design out to be commercially printed and she quilts it herself or does she ? No I would call this cheating , she can’t teach techniques, except perhaps computer graphic skills. So her old teaching days are over, there would be no patterns to sell. So what does a new quilter do with this. If all young computer savvy quilters followed in these footsteps, the art of quilting as we know it would absolutely disappear. Too bad.
Wow, talk about disorientation. Yikes.
