The creator of Quilt University, Carol Miller, passed away from cancer in late February. Her husband, Robert, wrote everyone in the March newsletter. My heart goes out to him and I mourn the loss of someone who was pivotal in my development as a quilter.
I never had the opportunity to meet Carol but she began the online Quilt University at just the right moment for me. I was traveling a great deal for work at that time and interested in learning more about quilting. My travels made it too difficult for me to take more than one-day workshops locally. Quilt University offered exactly the flexibility I needed - weekly assignments and the ability to interact with the instructor and other students online as my time permitted. It was through Quilt University that I discovered Dena Crain, the instructor who guided me into the world of art quilts and has remained a friend. Without Quilt Univerisity, I have no doubt that I would not be where I am now as an art quilter. Thank you Carol for opening the door to this now passion for me.
Please take a moment to say a prayer for Carol and good energy to Robert who has taken up the mantle of director of Quilt University. Carol will be greatly missed.
