    Kim Diehl

    After falling in love with a sampler quilt pattern in the late 1990s, Kim impulsively purchased it, taught herself the steps needed to do the project, and realized she was completely smitten with quiltmaking. Winning a national contest with only the third quilt she'd ever made turned Kim's life down an unexpected path, and her new-found hobby quickly blossomed into a full-time career.Kim's favorite quilt designs combine traditionally inspired patchwork and applique, and she loves stitching her projects from richly hued prints using modern time-saving techniques. In addition to being a prolific quiltmaker and authoring her ongoing Simple series of books with Martingale, Kim designs quilting fabric collections and Simple Whatnots Club projects in her signature scrappy style for Henry Glass & Co.Since retiring from an extensive travel and teaching schedule in 2015, Kim enjoys spending her days at home again and doing what she loves most - designing quilts and fabrics, baking, stitching, gardening, and being a nana to her grandbabies. Kim Diehl lives in Pocatello, Idaho.
