Gorelick
Shelter
2007
Pieced and hand quilted cotton
48-1/2 x 28-1/4 in.
$800
"When I am arranging the colors, and viewing the pieces to see how they work together, I feel like I am painting with fabric."
Carol Gorelick of Charlotte, NC and her
husband Shelton, are avid collectors of craft, particularly
ceramics. They are actively involved with Penland and the
Mint Museum of Craft + Design. Carolís studio is filled with
layers of folded fabric sorted by the color wheel. One wall,
covered with felt, serves as the design wall where pieces of
cut fabric are arranged and rearranged as compositions
evolve. Patterns in the fabric are carefully chosen for
their place in the quilt. Originally from Columbus, Ohio,
Carol studied art history at Ohio State University. She
started sewing in junior high school and began quilting in
the 1970s. She makes her work exclusively for family and
friends and it is not generally available for sale. She
gives this piece to honor her love of Penland. |

years, nationally and internationally. He has received
four NEA grants, is a professor at the California
