Diana began quilting six to seven years ago with Kathy in the Wednesday morning class. Having made dolls and sewed for 15 years, her sisters – quilters both – (one sister doesn’t quilt) encouraged her to make quilts.
One of the other ladies in her church who played hand-bells, mentioned San Lorenzo Adult School and Diana joined ASAP!
Diana Johnson told her about Pieced Together Quilters and she joined last winter. Diana so loves being with people who have the same interest and learn new things and socialize with loving quilters.
We love Pieced Together Quilters – as Diana says – because it was as if we all came here alone. There was no long history of being together and forming cliques but we were able to come together quickly as friends.
Married 43 years to the most wonderful man in the world. Diana’s husband is Persian – they we met in college in Montana. David was studying mechanical engineering and Diana was studying psychology. They met in a college bar and when Diana saw him across the dance floor – she fell in love! It was December 1st and they were married June 11 – just six months later.
They have a boy and a girl who gave them three grandchildren. Diana was born in Montana and came to the Bay Area by way of Oregon. After a few years in Oregon, work brought them to Fremont. They now live in Oakland.
Diana is a twin. Her fraternal twin sister is also a quilter and lives in Bend, Oregon.
