Welcome into the world of Dianne Stevenson where the past and the
present get woven into textile
work.
Growing up as a 5th
generation quilter in rural
Southern
Ontario, quilting is as much
a part of
her life
as fresh air.
Using traditional designs and
history as
her
springboard, Dianne revels
in breathing new
life into old fashioned
blocks. She has taught and
lectured
internationally and throughout British
Columbia. Canadian
history becomes the
celebration of our country’s past in
a class entitled “Canadiana in Cloth”, a series that is both
informative and entertaining. Fabric
manipulation of classic blocks is the focus for “Black
Crow Quilt
Designs” and subsequent
patterns. There is not much time left over for Dianne's other passions of photography, reading and the outdoors. Dianne lives in Summerland, British Columbia with her husband, her two sons and families close by. |
