Diane
Phalen is known to quilters nationwide for her charming and original quilt
designs and her quilt-oriented landscapes.
Diane grew up in the
heart of Pennsylvania's Amish farmlands. "As a young
girl," she says, "I sketched barns, mills and covered bridges
close to our homestead. A rainbow of quilts
seemed to be hanging on every clothesline, fence and porch rail."
Today she continues
to roam country roads for handmade inspiration. "I especially
enjoy using quilts to express the brilliance of changing seasons",
she explains. "I like to say 'I quilt with my paint brush'.
Quilt-making is art to me and the colors I see inspire my own color
palette." And to good result - Diane Phalen is America's
foremost painter in the world of quilts and quilting.
Diane's education includes training in commercial art and design,
drafting, technical illustration and architectural design, but her first
love is incorporating lovely quilt designs in her warm paintings of
country America.
Articles on Diane Phalen have appeared in most major American quilting
publications, and she is a welcome speaker at many quilt shows
around the country and on special quilting cruises organized by major
quilting magazines. Her work appears on prints, cards, an annual
calendar, a host of home decor and home fabric products and especially in
her books on quilting, which include "Diane Phalen Quilts from the
Painter's Art", "Diane Phalen Quilts: 10 Projects to
Celebrate the Seasons" and "Painting the American Heartland in
Watercolor".
