March 10, 2025 – Dora Cary of Orange Dot Quilts
We are very excited to have Dora Cary from Orange Dot Quilts coming to TBQ in March. Dora will be our guest speaker on Monday, March 10.

We met Dora Carey at Road2CA Quilt Show! She is excited to visit Prescott and the TBQG in March!
Orange Dot Quilts was created in 2016 by me, Dora Cary, a Romanian-born engineer and designer who moved to the United States in 2001, discovered quilting in 2006, made my first quilt and became an American citizen in 2008, and wrote my first quilt pattern in 2013.
Now I have more than 30 quilt and bag patterns and even more patterns are waiting to be created. I have several notebooks filled with ideas and sketches waiting to be turned into quilts, bags, or something else altogether.
I love quilting for the creativity and freedom of expression it gives me, and I love the quilting community for the amazing generosity and sense of camaraderie.
Sew much love!
P.S.: Why Orange Dot Quilts, you ask? Because I love orange and polka dots and quilts. Because ORANGE, DOTs, and QUILTS make me happy.

I love teaching people to sew and quilt. Inspiring creativity is my passion! I got my hands on a needle and thread at a very young age and I’ve always enjoyed making art. For the past several years I’ve been blessed to be a textile designer and quilt educator as the host of Man Sewing. Now I teach quilting all around the world.
I am known for the machine quilted art quilts I have created over the past twenty years. But, like all artists, I often find myself inspired to work in other mediums as well like embroidery, knitting, wood, pen and ink, as well as music. I’ve even created a unique quilting tool called the Shark Applicutter.
