Diane began sewing at age 8 from her mother, who was a very accomplished sewist in her own right.  She was quickly hooked, and soon was making all her own clothes, including – eventually – her own wedding gown, veil, and bridesmaids’ dresses.  Nursing, running a nursing home, raising a family, and eventually getting her law degree took up most of the next 20 years, and it wasn’t until the mid 2000s that Diane dusted off her sewing machine and returned to quilting, which she’d done sporadically through the years.  Needing a bit of a refresher in quilting techniques, Diane took a class at Cate’s (Intro to Quilting) a couple of years after she and her husband relocated to Guilford, and it’s been “quilting love” ever since!  She is excited about teaching quilting, and sharing her love of fabric, quilt designs and all things “quilt-y” with anyone who cares to join her!
