Kim Diehl: Simple Appeal Review and Giveaway!


[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.

  67. I think quilts belong on beds or on a quilt rack for display. I love the look of them on tables but am in fear of someone spilling food or candle wax on them so I resist the urge to make table quilts. I do like runners, though, because you can take them off before people make a mess on them. Too much work goes into a quilt to have them stained.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Make quilts for beds, throws & wallhangings...just startin' with Table Toppers now too! Love quilty things everywhere round the house! :)

Thank you for a chance to win.

I am still fairly new to quilting, but have made, several quilted pillows, and a few lap-sized quilts, and also a few table runners, but my favorite size to make is the lap-sized quilts, because you can really let the pattern shine! Thanks for the fabulous giveaway!

  75. I make all sizes of quilts... It just depends on who I'm making them for or if it's just for a fun splash of color on a 12" frame in my entry. I love Kim's quilt books because she shows multiple sizes and uses!

  138. I've considered decorating using UFO's, but everyone would expect that ;>. I decorate the walls of my office with wall hangings and smaller quilts.

    Part of the joy of quilting is sharing so most of my quilts are decorating other people's homes.

    In my home I have collections of fabric, books, notions, etc. Perhaps there is a decoration scheme that would work with UFO's.

    ReplyDelete
  139. I make bed quilts, lap quilts, table runners, wallhangings...all of them. Love the feel and look of fabric and a quilted item in a room. It is comforting. Looking forward to the new book and the fabric is wonderful!
