| Carolyn Renaud Carolyn comes to the shop from a New England background & worked in health care management before retiring. Having 7 granddaughters, sewing their dresses & clothing became a full time hobby. She became interested in machine embroidery & quilting & specialized in stained glass quilting. She has designed stained glass quilt patterns & enjoys teaching these special techniques as well as other quilting classes. Her husband's light boxes enable her students to trace with ease the large stained glass quilted wall hangings that result from taking one of her classes. |
