>> THE DIANA DIAMOND
COLLECTION, TELL US ABOUT
DIANA'S COLLECTION EXPL EVERY
YEAR WE DO A CHALLENGE.
WE PICK A THEME AND A COLOR.
THIS IS OUR SEVENTH YEAR WE
ARE DOING IT.
DIANA IS ASSOCIATED WITH PINK
BECAUSE SHE HAD A LOT OF PINK
CLOTHING.
I READ IT WAS HER FAVORITE
COLOR.
WHETHER THAT'S TRUE, I DON'T
KNOW.
I HAVE A BUNDLE OF THREE
SHADES OF PINK AND WHITE.
THE ARTIST WOULD USE THAT
BUNDLE ONLY.
BUT COULD ADD OTHER COLORS.
THE IDEA IS HAVING A LIMITED
COLOR PALETTE AND SEEING WHAT
THEY CAN COME UP WITH.
YOU WILL SEE SOME OF THE
COLORS IN THE PIECES BUTTH ALL
CHERRYWOOD HAND DYED.
EVERYTHING IS TIED TOGETHER.
THEY ARE SMALL.
THEY ARE ONLY 20-INCHES
SQUARE.
IT'S NOT INTIMIDATING, IT'S
EASY TO FINISH.
TO HAVE A DEADLINE.
IT GOES THROUGH A JURY
PROCESS.
QUILTS WE HAVE HERE AT THE
GREAT WISCONSIN SHOW IS ONLY
HALF OF THE EXHIBIT.
THE OTHER HALF IS TRAVELING TO
DIFFERENT PLACES.
FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR --
ACTUALLY A LITTLE MORE -- THIS
EXHIBIT GOES ALL OVER THE
COUNTRY.
IN THE PAST WE HAVE ACTUALLY
HAD OUR EXHIBIT TRAVEL TO
FRANCE AND AUSTRALIA.
>> CONGRATULATIONS.
THAT'S EXCITING.
>> YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE THESE
EQUIPMENT ARE GOING TO POP UP.
>> THEY ARE AMAZING.
ALL OF THEM, LIKE YOU SAID,
YOU HAVE TO USE ALL THE SAME
FABRICS.
YOU CAN ADD A FEW OTHERS.
THEY HAVE TO BE THE SAME SIZE.
BUT THEY COULD BE ANY
TECHNIQUE.
>> YES.
>> TELL US ABOUT THE
TECHNIQUES USED.
>> ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF.
PIECE AND APPLIQUÉ.
PEOPLE ARE DOING RUMPING AND
YOU CAN USE PAINTS AND INKS
AND COLORED PENCILS.
THERE ARE SHADING.
PEOPLE CAPTURE HER PORTRAIT
REALLY WELL.
SO I DIDN'T WANT TO IT LIMIT
PEOPLE TO, LIKE, JUST
FOLLOWING A PATTERN.
THESE ARE ALL ORIGINAL.
THEY HAVE COME UP WITH THESE
ALL THEMSELVES AND HOW THEY
PORTRAY IS UP TO THEM.
I DIDN'T WANT TO LIMIT THE
CREATIVITY.
EVERY YEAR THE BAR GETS RAISED
HIGHER AND HIGHER.
>> IT ABSOLUTELY DOES.
EACH COLLECTION IS JUST --
>> SOME OF THEM CAN BE SIMPLE.
NOT TO GO OFF THE DEEP END.
PEOPLE THINK IT'S SO
COMPLICATED, I CAN'T DO THIS,
BUT YOU REALLY COULD.
SOME OF THE WINNERS ARE
NONCOMPLICATED.
JUST BEAUTIFUL COMPOSITIONS.
SO TOPICAL WITH THE QUEEN'S
PASSING.
>> IT'S VERY IRONIC.
THIS IS SUCH A TRIBUTE TO
DIANA.
IT BRINGS UP SO MUCH EMOTION.
TODAY EVEN MORE EMOTION.
