With just the third quilt she'd ever made, self-taught quiltmaker Kim Diehl entered and won American Patchwork and Quilting magazine's "Pieces of the Past" quilt challenge in 1998. With her fourth quilt, Kim began publishing her designs. In addition to her best-selling "Simple" series of quilting books for Martingale & Company, Kim Diehl has published many of her designs in American Patchwork and Quilting, McCall's Quick Quilts, and Quiltmaker magazines.

When's Kim's not designing quilts and fabric, sewing patchwork, and working in her fragrant flower beds, she travels extensively around the country, teaching her easy invisible-machine-applique methods.

Kim Diehl is no stranger to many quilters. They look to her for new trends and she never disappoints. Take her "Mug Mats", simple, quick, and you get to use up your scraps. They can be stitched super quickly and are great gifts for quilting friends. Her "Pie in the sky pillowcase" with path work star band can easily be made into a throw pillow. Her patterns are so versatile. Take her "Fowled Up" design; it can be made into a colorful bed quilt and a t-towel. Her silhouette rooster will appeal to all fowl lovers. Kim never disappoints, she epitomizes simple graces!

Simple Graces is a quilt book that has several projects that appeal to me and that I want to make. This is great, because so often there is only one or two patterns in a book that I actually want to make. I definitely got my money's worth this time!

Loved this book, my first Kim Diehl book and I can't wait to start creating from it. My first quilt will be Pie in the Sky, just love it.
