About Me

Hi! I'm Diana and I am a professional longarm quilter. I use my HandiQuilter Avanté (fondly named Peggy) to do freehand quilting on quilts of all sizes. I have a Master of Fine Arts degree in theater design and production - specifically stage management and I was lucky enough to work professionally in New York City and in regional theaters across the country for over 10 years. Ever since I was little, I've always had a creative streak and a need to create things! I no longer spend my time backstage, instead opting to work in guest services at an amazing performing arts facility in downtown Orlando. I work mostly evenings and weekends which allows me to focus on quilting during the day. It's the perfect balance of work and home.

My mother taught me to sew when I was little, and I also had to learn costume construction in college but I didn't start quilting until 2012. My favorite part of quiltmaking has always been the actual quilting part and even on my domestic machine I jumped right in with freemotion quilting. From there things moved quickly. I started using a friend's longarm in 2016 and purchased my own in 2017. I look forward to helping others finish their quilts.
