PAST PROJECT

Mother & Daughter

A set of gifts for three siblings, I made these quilts in memory of the siblings’ mom and grandma who passed away within the same year. Each quilt’s background color was chosen specifically for the recipient sibling, but the border’s purple color—the mom’s favorite—was placed on all three.

Both the mom and grandma lived and worked in Alaska, so their various T-shirts preserve important memories from Alaskan villages and events, centering on a place that became so important to this family.

“We met Diane at a quilt shop in Bend delivering to her a large tub that contained 3 bundles of logo tee shirts and extras. All three quilts met and exceeded our expectations. Diane was generous with her time and guided us to beautiful materials based on our conversation. She is professional and
great to work with.”
