About Carol Cooke:

You may be curious to know who I am. I have gone down many paths but have always been making something.  University gave me courage and confidence to be this new person.  Retirement came suddenly late one night, when an offer to sell our busy company became a reality.  Since then, I am busier than before, but being busy doing what I want. Stitching calms me. It allows me to breathe. It takes away stress and worry. 

Because I am Anything But Zen
