Carole Lyles Shaw is on a mission to infuse modern quilts with creativity, individualism, and freedom of expression. Her journey into quilting began as a heartfelt endeavor to create beautiful quilts for her nieces and nephews. This creative exploration led her to the African American Quilters of Baltimore, where she honed her skills and learned the art of quilting.
Modern quilting is Carole's passion, and she sees it as a platform for embracing personal uniqueness in every quilt. She firmly believes that modern quilts are a canvas for free expression and creativity.
As a dedicated educator, Carole shares her love for modern quilting through workshops that empower quilters to confidently express themselves in their quilts. Her students often praise her for inspiring them to let their creative voices shine through their work.
One of Carole's key workshop topics is "Sustainable Stashing & Stash/Scrap Jazz," where she explores practical and realistic approaches to managing quilting stashes. In a world where sustainable living is increasingly important, Carole encourages quilters to align their passion with eco-conscious choices. Her workshop delves into how to create a sustainable stashing process while supporting an eco-friendly quilting lifestyle. It's not about imposing extreme restrictions but rather adopting conscious textile consumption practices.
Join us in this episode as Carole Lyles Shaw shares her journey into modern quilting, her dedication to creative freedom, and her insights on building a sustainable quilting practice. Learn how to let your unique quilting voice shine and embrace modern quilting as a means of self-expression and artistry.
