Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

After falling in love with a sampler quilt pattern in the late 1990’s, Kim impulsively purchased it, taught herself the steps needed to make the project, and realized she was completely smitten with quiltmaking. Winning a national contest with only the third quilt she'd ever made turned Kim's life down an unexpected path, and her new-found hobby quickly blossomed into a full-time career.

Kim's favorite quilt designs combine traditionally inspired patchwork and applique, and she loves stitching her projects from richly hued prints using modern time-saving techniques. In addition to being a prolific quiltmaker and authoring her on-going Simple series of books with Martingale, Kim designs quilting fabric collections and Simple Whatnots Club projects in her signature scrappy style for Henry Glass & Co.

Since retiring from an extensive travel and teaching schedule in 2015, Kim enjoys spending her days at home once again and doing what she loves most - designing quilts and fabrics, baking, stitching, gardening, and being a nana to her grandbabies.

    I love the fabric lines by these ladies. The quilts in this book are of various sizes and difficulty. Using modern fabrics would be fun with many of these traditional designs.

    I have two patterns picked out of this boo so far to make quick! The cover quilt will go on one of our sofas for what we call a "nap quilt" and one other to go on the wall of my sewing room. I'm excited to begin (as I always am when I get a new Kim diehl book). The lady is by far my favorite designer of fabulous quilts.

    I'm a huge fan of Kim Diehl's work and this book is no exception. I love everything in this book and can't wait to start working on some of the projects. Even though the fabrics from this book are no longer being produced I love that her current collection of fabrics will match perfectly. Her instructions are well written with diagrams and she gives excellent tips that are very helpful.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Not straight forward, left me guessing...
    Reviewed in Australia on October 23, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    I did not like the instructions of these quilts, they left me guessing at what exactly I was cutting and piecing together. I finally just cut my own flying geese and started the quilt on my own. I looked at a few of the other quilt directions and unfortunately they are the same. I'm not happy with this purchase. I have bought other quilting books from Lynette Jensen, and her instructions were easy to follow, her images and directions on how to piece were good. This book is a major disappointment! :(
