Back Cover Information

From the popular author of Simple Blessings, Simple Seasons and Simple Traditions, here's a fresh assortment of inviting quilts. In Kim Diehl's signature style, these 12 projects feature traditional patchwork combined with charming appliqué. Exuding warmth and comfort, each quilt is perfect for tossing over the arm of a chair to be used at a moment's notice. But with such beautiful artistry, they could easily end up on the wall instead!

About the Author

With just the third quilt she'd ever made, self-taught quiltmaker Kim Diehl entered and won American Patchwork and Quilting magazine's "Pieces of The Past" quilt challenge in 1998. This win took her life down a new and unexpected path, and with her fourth quilt, Kim began publishing her original designs. In the years since her challenge win, Kim has seen her work published in numerous national and international magazines. In 2004, she began writing her best-selling "Simple" series of quilting books for Martingale & Company.

The opportunity to begin designing fabrics for Henry Glass in 2008 enabled Kim to combine her love of richly hued prints with her "scrap-basket" approach to quiltmaking and her fabric designs reflect this. What could be more fun than designing a quilt, and then creating the fabrics to bring it alive.

Kim makes her home in scenic Idaho surrounded by her family, her much-spoiled pooches and her country-style gardens. When she's not designing quilts and fabric, sewing patchwork and working in her fragrant flower beds, Kim travels extensively around the country, teaching her easy invisible-machine-ppliqué methods and sharing her quilts.
