My name is Darlene DeVries and I have been quilting for the past 17 years. My very first quilt was cut, sewn , and quilted all by hand. I have come along way in these years. My first quilt machine was purchased six years ago and then four years ago I upgraded to a wonderful longarm, the Proto Stitch Wizard. I hand guide the machine and the stitches are computer regulated to get nice even stitching. the history, as well as the future, of the art of quilt making is near and dear to my heart. I have learned so much from the quiltmakers both past and present. With each quilt I do I bring my talent,creativity, and experience to make your quilt a true ‘Quilted Treasure’.

My Goal

My goal is for the quilting to the enhance your work…not to overwhelm it. I want to give you creative assistance in selecting the design or style that will blend with your project. I try to work very closely with the quilt maker so you will have a quilt that will last for generations to come.

Your goal

You may be looking for award winning quilt detail. I can help. You may want to just 'get the thing done!' I can do this too. You might need a simple, inexpensive finish. You might have a special heirloom that screams for exquisite detail. I am here to help with your goals, both design and budget. Rest assured that my studio is a smokefree/pet free zone. This is my business and I love it!

My Community

I am part of the rural community of Wheatfield, Indiana. My husband Dave and I farm here and have raised our family here. I wirte for the local newspaper, as well as a teach quilting throughout the year. Our local group of women is very active in Quilts For Wounded Soldier's. This is a national effort among various quilting groups to provide handmade quilts of comfort and love to soldiers who have been hurt . We want to honor those who have sacrificed so much for all of us as a nation.
