Getting to know you
Hello, all--
I'm Diane. I'm an avid reader...mostly of fiction, lately of blogs! Favorite novels that spring to mind are "Angle of Repose" by Wallace Stegner, "The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd, "The Deptford Trilogy" by Robertson Davies, "Father Melancholy's Daughter" by Gail Godwin...
I used to knit a lot, and haven't for years. I've returned to knitting a bit in the last year as I've been unable to resist the amazingly luscious yarns that are around these days.
My primary creative endeavor is quilting. I make art quilts and contemporary quilts, and am addicted to fabric. I'm also a lawyer (working from home doing litigation -related research and writing), mom of an active, opinionated, horse-crazy 9 year old, and wife of a college psych professor. We all live in Healdsburg, California, which is in Nothern California's wine country.
I'm looking forward to talking books, knitting, and life with you all!
Diane

Welcome Diane! I've read Crossing to Safety by Stegner, but not Angle of Repose. I'll have to check it out. Can't wait to check out your quilts!

Hi Diane,
Robertson Davies is a favourite author of mine, too. His novels are wise and very funny. I've thoroughly enjoyed the other authors on your list, as well. The only book I've not yet read is Secret Life of Bees.
