Diane Murtha –

Peaceful Stitching

Whether it’s machine quilting or piecing in a restful state or hand stitching, slow stitching has gained popularity over the last 5 years. It has many creative and healthful benefits.

I’ll give you a variety of great ideas to add slow stitching to enhance your quilting andother projects. English paper piecing, embroidery, decorative darning, and big quilt
stitching are some examples. It’s for everyone!

Diane began as a traditional quilter in the late 90’s, gradually modifying patterns and gravitating to art quilts, specifically participating in art quilt challenges. Her quilts are included in 3 published books and multiple special exhibits traveling the country, including Houston’s International Quilt Festival.
