Hopkins, Carol

Carol Hopkins' interests revolve around sharing her love of teaching and learning. In her daytime job as a professor of literacy and language education at Purdue University, she prepares future elementary teachers to teach struggling readers. During evenings and weekends, when she's not spending time with her husband, three adult children, and grandchildren, she pursues her passion for quiltmaking. Through her pattern business, Carol Hopkins Designs, she markets quilt patterns that she has designed for eighteenth- and nineteenth-century reproduction fabrics.
