About Diane

A few words from Diane:

I am Diane Kraft Reichle. I have been married for 30 years; have 2 children, 8 grandchildren and 2 great grandsons. I have been quilting for 15 years. I am a self taught quilter. My previous career was accounting for 20 years. I have tested quilt patterns for several designers in the last 5 years and have learned several new techniques from this process.

I host three online groups for quilting, machine embroidery, and sales of items related to sewing. I am a member of my local quilt guild and have taught a few select people to piece and quilt. I began designing five years ago and love 3 dimensional patterns that use color play.

Diane's first quilt pattern for Arbee Designs is of south western style and called "Southwest Sunrise".
