A Tribute to Carol Ingram – We Love You

Carol Ingram – A Tribute

All of us at Sulky have lost a dear friend this week, Carol Ingram, designer extraordinaire. With her most generous spirit, Carol has shared her incredible artistic creations and designs with us for almost 20 years.

Many of you have seen and duplicated many of her beautifully designed projects created for the Sulky Certified Teacher Classes in either the Sit and Sew events, or now, online.

Carol died suddenly and peacefully Tuesday morning. She was an incredibly gifted artist in all mediums, and those of us who sew, are forever grateful to her endless generosity with her projects.

She was an inspiration to everyone she met, and more than that, she was a forever friend to all of us. Carol will be missed more than words can say.

    I was just preparing Carol’s Butterfly in Flight project from Teacher Certification to teach at the upcoming California Association of Machine Embroider’s annual event. Tuesday was the day that I was going to email the project to Carol to show her how I had added metallic thread to the wings. The project came out so beautifully that I wanted to share it with her. I have so much gratitude for her guidance and beautiful heart. I feel very privileged to have known Carol and will miss her greatly.

    This lovely lady has been such a part of my concept of Sulky. Her picture in all my books. Her presence in all the projects for Certification. Oh my, it is truly hard to take in that she is gone. I am glad that it was suddenly and peaceful

    She was a bright and shinning star and an inspiration to so many. I have always been in awe of her great talent. God now has a beautiful angel but it was too soon for those of us here on earth. Let us keep her legacy of kindness and sharing alive in her memory
