Caroline started rug hooking in late 2005 when a local library offered a free rug hooking class. She quickly found she loved primitive colors, patterns, and textures. As her passion grew for rug hooking, she began to study under teachers such as Barb Carroll, Cynthia Norwood, and Jayne Hester.  She has taught at several ATHA Conventions, Historic Franklin Rug School, Two Stars of Texas, and guilds in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Caroline, Georgia, Kentucky, etc. 

In 2011 she opened her studio, Eagles Nest Woolens. She now has over 100 patterns on her website, www.eaglesnestwoolens.com. She has been traveling and teaching the art of rug hooking since 2016. 

Caroline and her husband, Ron, live in Western Maryland. She’s filled her home with new and old hooked rugs. She’s fascinated by the warmth and character of antique rugs.
