Carol's Carol Doak Foundation Paper and Carol Doak's Keepsake Frame Cards are very popular items for paper piecers around the world.

An impressive range of her beautiful blue-ribbon quilts have been featured in several books, such as Great American Quilts 1990 and The Quilt Encyclopedia and on the cover's of Quilter's Newsletter Magazine, Quilt World, Quilting Today, Ladies' Circle Patchwork and McCall's Quilting.

Carol's history in the quiltmaking is nothing short of remarkable, and the future of quiltmaking will benefit from her generous knowledge, enthusiasm, and most of all from her love of quilts.

Carol lives in New Hampshire, where she claims the cold winters give her plenty of reason to stockpile a fabric stash for insulation purposes!

5.0 out of 5 stars C. Doak's EASY Mix & Match paper piecing is just that, EASY, May 23, 2001

This review is from: Easy Mix & Match Machine Paper Piecing (Paperback)

This book has many paper piece patterns that could make up any hundreds of quilts. The book has many colorful pictures of quilts finished for inspiration. I have made several quilts using this book and still go back to it often. I would recommend this book to beginning and veteran paper piecer's.

If you follow Carol's instructions your quilt is a "no fail". Her instructions are very easy to follow and there are so many combinations with all the blocks.

This review is from: Easy Mix & Match Machine Paper Piecing (Paperback)

As a person who has managed to nearly loose her mind trying to remember all she has learned about "Paper Piecing", I needed additional input and suggestions. This is one of my selections and was suggested by the person trying so hard to change me into a non-challenged paper piecer. I like the mix and match theme and the idea that I can hopefully get rid of a lot of scrap material and also make something that is useful and looks good.
