With just the third quilt she'd ever made, self-taught quiltmaker Kim Diehl became the winner of American Patchwork and Quilting magazine's "Pieces of the Past" quilt challenge in 1998, turning her life onto a new and unexpected path. Her work has been featured in numerous national and international quilting magazines. In addition to her best-selling "Simple" series of quilting books published with Martingale, Kim has designed several fabric collections for Henry Glass & Co., enabling her to be involved in the full circle of quiltmaking from start to finish.
