[This giveaway has ended.]
Kim Diehl is having a super busy year. Her beautiful new book Simple Appeal is available today and it is about her love for using beautiful color combinations in patchwork and appliqué scrappy quilts for everyday use. Scroll down to the bottom to find out how to enter to win a copy of Simple Appeal and a bundle of Kim's fabric.
The projects are designed with classic pieced blocks and adorned by Kim's signature floral appliqué designs. The beauty of her designs is how easy it is for any quilter to stitch one for herself! There is always a warmth and charm in all of Kim's designs. The projects in Simple Appeal are no different and are perfect to use in decorating your home.
Martingale & Co. has done a fabulous job with the photography and the design of the book. The instructions are clear and there are plenty of great diagrams that accompany the written directions. Make sure that you head over to the Martingale & Co. website to order your copy of Simple Appeal.
On the fabric front, Kim has been designing several new fabric collections for Henry Glass this year. The first line to debut will be Vintage Farmhouse in June. The fresh and pretty palette will be a great foundation for any of the quilts in Simple Appeal.
Henry Glass and Kim are excited to introduce you her new Simple Whatnots Club this year. All the details are on the Henry Glass website here.
Martingale & Co. is featuring Kim and her book on their blog, Stitch This! today. They have a great interview with Kim are hosting another fabulous giveaway.
Good luck!

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 457 of 457i make all size quilts but few are on beds. my husband's number one job is to make unique things that quilts can hang from so that they can be all over the house
I haven't kept many quilts. Most are kids' charity quilts. Hopefully retirement later this year will give me time to do some for myself and put them on display on the sofas and beds.
I make all sizes of quilts, from hot pads to king sized bed quilts. I like the versatility and completion speed of smaller items, like table runners. They can go on dressers, the freezer, over the backs of chairs, or the couch or be used instead of a throw rug in a no traffic area. I love Kim's design's and the fabric bundle would be awesome, too. I really hope I win and thanks so much for the opportunity!

I mostly make kids' charity quilts that I deliver to a kids' chemo unit. Maybe with retirement at the end of the year I can make myself a "grown-up" quilt!
I decorate with quilts in most of my rooms. I have one hanging in the kitchen, at least one in each bedroom, etc.
Wall quilts are my fave, with table runners/cloths a close second. Quilts add such a great splash of color wherever you put them.
I like making small wall quilts, table runners, placemats. The fabrics are just gorgeous! Kim's quilts are exquisite.
I like to decorate with wall hangings and table runners.
I like lap quilts. They brighten up a room when hung over the back of a chair or couch and are handy to cozy under. Thanks for offering the lovely giveaway.
mainly my sofa!
I mostly like wall quilts, mug rugs, throws, queen size quilts. But when it comes to applique, I like table toppers and place mats. Thanks for the opportunity to add such a nice book and fabric to my collection.
I like to make bed quilts and table or dresser toppers to match
Where don't you use quilts? I have them on my walls, tables, beds. I love Kim's combination on piecing and appliqué and her color selection is so happy and pleasing!
I used to just make table toppers or wall hangings but now I decorate with my quilts everywhere! My husband thinks I'm crazy but he likes it. LOL! I'm in love with the octagon shaped table topper in this book!
618I love to make table runners, throw quilts, and wall quilts. Eventually I would like to make a quilt for every bed in our house!
I'm a new quilter and have so far made bed and throw quilts, table toppers, and a Christmas tree skirt. I'm ready to continue learning how to do different projects.
I like to make quilts of all sizes. I have not made a wall quilt yet, but I have the space for one. That will have to be sometime in my future.
I have been making wedding quilts and graduation quilts but I think I am about at the end of that and am making lap quilts instead of bed quilts.
I have made bed quilts for weddings and graduations but now am making throws.
I like to use smaller projects as "accents" throughout the house. For example, I will put a table runner on an old buffet. Small projects can be used in bread baskets or to make a wicker basket look lovely. Thanks for a chance to win Kim's latest book and the fabric line--very beautiful!
I love all sizes and types of quilts. I am very happy Kim has written a new book and I love the new line of fabric!

Most of my quilts are made for snuggling on the couch.

I haven't been quilting long and so far I've made 2 baby quilts, 2 wall hangings, 2 mini quilts and 2 table toppers. Looks like I'm stuck on 2s.

I seem to make a lot of QS quilts but love the lap size or table toppers as I can finish them so quickly. Thanks so much for sharing
I like smaller quilts. I have more places to put them and they make such nice gifts.
Everything gets decorated with quilts! Beds, walls, tables in my house, in my children's apartments and homes. The back seat of the car, my god daughter's dorm room, my mother's bed.....
i love making large quilts for my large bed.
I never win anything so I'm really only adding that I quilt everything from donation quilts for still born babies to king size and love doing them all.
I have been making lap to twin sized quilts in the recent past and they are all "decorating" other peoples spaces. It's time to make something for me. But how do you pick which of Kim's wonderful designs to make first?
I love to make table toppers and runners. I also like to decorate with small wall hangings. But I do make quilts of all sizes. Love Kim's fabrics and books.
So far my quilts have all been for the sofa and the baby's room, but I have a couple of table runners and a wall quilt in the works. Love Kim's book and fabrics!
I put quilts anywhere and everywhere. There are small blocks in frames on the wall, big ones hanging, some on the back of the couches, some on tables. I've been thinking about how to put them on the ceiling. Not sure how to do this yet. I love Kim's work. It is outstanding!
I like making bed quilts but also I make seasonal throws for the back of my couch.
I love Kim's Quilts. I made one for my kitchen table! I'd like to have more around the house!
I love Kim's color combo, subtle but bright & happy. I use my quilts everywhere. Beds, sofa, chairs, table toppers, walls,shower curtains, crocks. Just makes my home feel warm & cozy. Can't wait to take a class from Kim....
Kim has such beautiful quilts. I'd be she uses at least 40 different fabrics in some of her applique.
I enjoy using Kim's designs to decorate clothing, such as vests, jackets, purses, etc. I also make wall hangings as well. Laurel Turner
Although I'm still a bit of a newbie, I have often found myself taking on very large quilting projects- only to find myself overwhelmed by their size! So I am trying to scale down my quilting projects until I become more knowledgeable and comfortable with the entire process!
