Instructor

Carin Brimley — Certified Quiltworx Instructor
While growing up, Carin spent many happy hours rummaging through her mom’s fabric scrap bags and teaching herself to sew — starting with doll clothes and eventually creating garments, including her own wedding dress. She began quilting in her late 20s and fell in love with foundation paper piecing for its precision (and because picking stitches out is her least favorite part of sewing!).

In 2019, Carin began teaching Quiltworx classes and quickly became known for her vibrant, cheerful personality and her patient, supportive teaching style. Students appreciate her humor, clear instruction, and deep passion for the Quiltworx community.
