About Diana:
I have stitched in one way or another all my life. The quilting bug hit in 1976 during the rebirth of the quilting movement. But in the 80's a family ensued and making clothes and gifts for my family were a priority. During this time I took the opportunity to study advertising design at the Rhode Island School Of Design. I still go back and once in a classroom - I'm home. In 2002 I found myself between jobs and needing to make a change. I jumped in with both feet and bought a Longarm quilting machine. I was one of the first machine quilters to work on QsOV. I am completely hand guided, (no computer), and my favorite is custom quilting. My own quilts have been exhibited across the country and have won numerous awards. Some works have been exhibited in several galleries, a calendar, magazines, books and online. I have recently begun to work on my own patterns and to pattern some of my antique quilts. Antiques and American history are a big interest for me and feed my love of quilt history. I am also now an AQS certified quilt and quilted textiles appraiser.

 When I'm not in my studio or travelling to shows and conferences, I will most likely be in my backyard tending to my ragged gardens and fussing over my chickens. I KNOW I have the best job I have ever had. I get to share what I love with like minds. I'm very grateful and wouldn't change it for anything!
