You’ll hear the story of how I started making Baby Windmills, and how I built a trunk show of designs based on one simple block.

Plenty of tips on scrap quilts will be included, along with how-tos for making Windmills in any size you choose.

Color Coded in American Patchwork & Quilting

Written by Diane Harris on April 10, 2019. Posted in Blog, How-tos and Ideas, Quilt Lifestyle, Trunk Shows

The latest edition of American Patchwork & Quilting went on sale this week, and I’m delighted to share that I have my first quilt design in its pages. This is Color Coded from the June 2019 issue.

I’m so pleased with the photography! That yellow door makes my heart sing. And the rainbow bookshelf? Oh my word. I love it so much. Jay Wilde was the photographer.

Thoughts on Purple and Some Big Magic

I’ve been working on a new quilt design to add to the Windy Wonders trunk show. That program is booked for Omaha Quilters’ Guild next week and I want to give them lots of eye candy. I thought a few more quilts would be nice, and since my sketchbook is overflowing, it wasn’t hard to do.

I grew up near a little town called Battle Creek here in Nebraska. Our colors were purple and gold so I spent many days in those colors.

How to Build a Windmill (Quilt, Farm, Whatever)

Written by Diane Harris on October 8, 2017. Posted in Blog, How-tos and Ideas, Quilt Lifestyle

A few years back I had an idea to build a trunk show of quilts based on one simple Windmill quilt block. I’ve been working feverishly on the quilts because I’ll give the presentation for the first time next month in Holdrege, Nebraska.

I hope to present it many more times in 2018 and 2019. So you could say I am building a wind farm of quilts.
