About Diane's Native American Star Quilts

It all started way back in 1988 when I created my Native American Gift Shop.  I began to make star quilts then.  In 2001 I went online with my business, and every year since then my website has scored #1 in internet searches for Native American star quilts and patterns.  

Update 2020.  Well here it is, 30+ years later and...  Now I consider myself a pro star quilt maker, a professional expert if you will.  HOWEVER.   A big change in my business has occurred in the past two years.  Due to  the deterioration of my vision.  I can no longer sew because I cannot see the fine stich line.  I can still design quilts on my computer, but I can't physically make quilts any more.  

But all is not lost.  In fact, I believe that things are better than ever for me right now.  Because I have found two exciting, fantastic quilt makers who are going to contract with me, making quilts and tops for me.  I am so pleased with their work that I will put my guarantee behind it.

The first person is Elk Whistler, and he is a young Lakota man.  Please welcome him.  He is a wonderful star quilt maker in my humble opinion.  And I've seen a lot of star quilts in my day!   

The second person is a young Lakota woman who I am still sweet talking into making quilts for me.  Wow her work is awesome, trust me.  

You'll love the work of both of these true artists.   You have my word that they aim to please.  QUALITY is number one with me.  After all these years of experience, I can spot a flaw in a star quilt from a mile away.     :-)

My patterns have all been updated to include new information such as adding borders to make your star quilt a certain size.  I plan to design many more  beautiful star quilt patterns in the near future, so please check back from time to time about these.

My how-to star quilt book continues to be a hot seller, "Creating the Native American Star Quilt, Vol. 1:  A Beginner's Workbook."  The book goes into great depth and details about how to make a perfect star quilt no matter what your skill level is.  Very clear instructions.

The Native American Design patterns section could use some more Native designs, which I plan to also come up with.  I'm always open to suggestions for new designs, too.   But check out what I do have, especially the eagle feathers and medicine wheels design patterns.

As always, I welcome emails and questions and whatever about my products, so drop me a line if you wish to, OK?  dianesnativeamericanstarquilts@gmail.com
