Carol Doak discovered her love of quilting in 1979 when she took a seven-week basic quilting class. She taught that class the following year and discovered that she loved to teach others how to make quilts. Since then she has taught more than a million people to quilt through her best-selling books, DVDs and traveling to teach around the world. An innovator in the industry, Carol continues to wow the quilting world with her creative uses for paper piecing. Carol lives with her family in Salem, NH, where the cold winters give her a reason to stockpile fabric for insulation purposes. www.caroldoak.com
