A Quilter’s Diary

Filed Under Books, Designers 

Mimi Dietrich is one of our most venerated appliqué designers. She’s been doing beautiful appliqué and writing books for many years. At Spring Market in Portland, I attended a Schoolhouse session where Mimi introduced her newest book, A Quilter’s Diary: Written in Stitches.

I really warmed to the concept. Mimi presents a wide variety of blocks, both patchwork and appliqué, and encourages quilters to choose designs that represent significant events in their lives. The hook that ties a block to you can be a stretch, can be humorous… as long as it means something to you, it works. By making a sampler quilt of these representational blocks, quilters can tell their own personal stories.

Here’s a link to the book on Amazon.

Until next time,
