The Western North Carolina Quilters Guild (WNCQG) accepts applications from graduating high school students in Hendersonville and Transylvania counties for a $1000 scholarship plus a compact sewing machine. Applications are open to any student who is interested in textiles, fabric production, graphic design, fashion and needle arts (quilting and sewing), although the student’s major field of study may not necessarily be related. Guild members have a broad array of academic and professional backgrounds but share a love of quilting as an avocation which we wish to encourage in each new generation.

Diana was a Western NC Quilters Guild member from 1999 to 2007. She is a retired math teacher. Writing books teaching math through quilting was a natural for her.
Diana's books, Mathematical Quilts and More Mathematical Quilts 
have blackline activity masters and
directions for making the quilts. Books are geared toward middle and high school math students and are accompanied by colorful posters. The quilts in the latest book represent mathematical concepts such as fractals and 3rd and 4th dimensions.
