Diane's Quilt Gallery
 Emily's Baby QuiltI designed, created and stitched this quilt for my 4th granddaughter. Her name is Emily; she was born in late December, 2013. The quilt turned out much more beautiful than I had imagined. |  Teddy Bear Stitch BlockThis is a compete stitch out on my longarm machine. It was fun stitching the quilting design on a plain block. |  Embroidery Rabbit on BabyQuiltThis block is a cross-stitch design that I was able to stitch on my Bernina Sewing Machine. I was thrilled that I didn't have to hand stitch all that cross-stitch. |

 Wild Flower QuiltMy Wildflower garden quilt was the first quilt that I used my Bernina 640. I love embroidery and this quilt took my breath away. I love the flowers and the colors. |  Red Stars QuiltI pieced my Red Star quilt on my vacation at York Beach, Maine. The week that I was there, it rained for 3 days straight and I was able to piece all the stars and the 9 patch blocks. I was glad that I brought my sewing machine and fabric with me......who knew! |  Round Robin Mariners Compass QuiltWhen I was living in New England, I began my journey into quilting by joining a local guild "The Material Girls" in Leominster, Massachusetts. It was a fun guild and I decided to participate in the "Round Robin" challenge. The center of the quilt with the mariner's compass was my block that the group had to build around. I used the book "Mariners Compass Quilt by Judy Mathieson". The ladies in the group created a wonderful Round Robin quilt that hangs in the quilting studio today. |
 300 Hexagons Later QuiltThis quilt is a gift to my husband, Mike. This twin size quilt is all hand stitched hexagons except for the border. At first he didn't want to accept the quilt as a gift because he knew all the hours it took to stitch all of the hexagons together. I told him not to worry.....I'm going to make another one that will be all BATIKS! |  Star Delight QuiltMy first Block of the Month is the "Star Delight" by "The Quilt Show by Alex Anderson". I first saw this quilt at the Houston Quilt Show. I just had to have it! It took 12 months for all the blocks to be pieced and then it had to be quilted. There was NO WAY I was going to "PUSH" this 85 X 85 size quilt thru my pfaff. I found a place that I could rent a longarm and that is when my life changed. My Joy of Longarm quilting began! |  White Wonder QuiltMy "White Wonder" is my first attempt at machine applique. I fused all the flowers and then I sewed a satin stitch around all the edges. The blue trellis is strips inter-weaved and all hand stitched. I used a large lobster pot lid as my template for the scalloped edges. |
 Lone Star QuiltThis is my first attempt at bias. This Lone Star quilt looks harder to make than I thought it would be. I used the book "Radiant Star by Eleanor Burns" and her instructions were fabulous. Mike and I sleep under this wonderful quilt every night! |  Roland's Quilt"Rolands Quilt" is special. Roland is a dear friend who, unfortunately, was taken from us by cancer. While he was being treated with Chemo, his quilt kept him warm. He is greatly missed. |  Piper's Baby QuiltMy first granddaughter baby quilt is a Noah's Ark" theme. I found the animal shapes at the library in the children's section. To this day, my granddaughter loves animals.....I wonder why! |
 Thomas Kinkade QuiltMy daughter loves Thomas Kinkade paintings. When she saw this pattern in the Keepsake Quilting catalogue, she ask if I would make it for her for Christmas. It hangs on her living room wall today. It was fun to make. |  Brianna's Baby QuiltMy 2nd granddaughter wanted a quilt with giraffes. I found this pattern "Zirafah by Toni Whitney" and she loves it. I decided to quilt it using the design KD 1088 Giraffe Baby. It's so cute! |  Redwork Snowmen QuiltMy Winter Wonderland quilt shows two border designs and a center quilting pattern. |
 Redwork Snowmen Winter WonderlandDesign EZ1038_Flowersplash and white thread was used so that the quilting would blend into my redwork in the quilt. |  Brianna's Baby QuiltThe back of the quilt is shown below. Many times the back of the quilt shows the long arm stitching better than the front of the quilt. |  Snowball Fight in Redwork QuiltWhite thread was also used on the red and black borders. Here I wanted the stitching to be visible. For the red border I selected the design FR1016 and for the black border I selected SE1014 |
