Veronique Diligent

A fertile imagination coupled with an ability to “draw anything” are the basis of her creative endeavours, says Veronique Diligent, a Melbourne-based quiltmaker. Her eye-catching quilts arise from an ability to perceive fresh ways of seeing her surroundings, whether the familiar or the unusual. Veronique often adapts traditional designs, employing various techniques such as appliqué, embroidery, English paper piecing and Broderie Perse to structure, embellish, texture and otherwise create her quilts. She is an admired instructor, regularly teaching at her local quilt shop, Sewn and Quilted, and in overseas locations during 2019 such as the Quiltmania salon in Nantes, France, and the Red Thread Studio in Florida, USA.
