Quilting Education and Experience

Carla was originally a self-taught quilter.  Her first quilt completed in 1982 was a hand-quilted king size quilt.  Since 2008 she has taken many classes through the Champlain Valley Quilt Guild (CVQG) and the Vermont Quilt Festival (VQF).    She quilts on a Viking Epic  and a Handi-Quilter Avante long-arm. In addition to her art quilts, Carla contributes quilts to the CVQG Community Quilts and the Vermont Modern Quilt Guild Community Quilts.
