Carolina Oneto is an Industrial Engineer with a Master's degree in Business Engineering. She worked in the industry and was a university professor for more than 10 years.

She studied patchwork and quilting with Cecilia Koppman and Teresita Leal and since then she has been traveling to the USA every year to specialize with experienced quilters from that country.

Additionally, her work has been featured at art centers and galleries in Europe, USA and Chile.
Since 2020 she has been teaching online quilting and design classes, and she also creates many on demand classes for those who need to learn at their own pace and time. Online classes allow her to connect with students from many different countries, which is a very enriching experience. She has taught many quilters and quilt guilds all around the world.
