Best in this site is Carol's generosity with her explanations of techniques and her close ups of her work - we can really see the detail!

Expository Magazine has an article by Carolyn Lee Vehslage that highlights Tatlor's career(s) - and how she began quilting in 1993 - just ten years ago! The article describes how she works in the creation of the Crop Circles series: "You can tell by the joyous nature of the Confetti Series that Carol is having fun with her new direction. She starts by using randomly cut small pieces of hand dyed cotton sateen fabric to create a textured surface. The pieces are enhanced by appliquéing a shape, such as a circle or square, in the center of each piece. As she assembles the smaller components into a larger composition the colors interact and begin to glow."
