Carolyn has a loyal following as a successful and established pattern designer, award winning quilter and a fabric designer for Robert Kaufman.

In her work, she draws inspiration from features of the Florida landscape-its long leaf pines, palmettos, water, scrub land, sand-as well as her background in architecture.
