Boerne quilter much more than ‘sew-sew’

A local Boerne quilter added yet another first-place ribbon to her growing collection she has curated since she started the labor of love in 1994.

By the time Dianne Blalock took her first quilting class in 1994, she was already an “old pro” with a thread and needle, having found a passion in sewing from a very young age. In fact, Blalock would sew clothes not just for herself as a child but also for her sisters, mother and even her grandmother.

“When I was a young girl, I sewed for myself and my youngest sister and my mother eventually and even my grandmother, and I just loved sewing so much,” Blalock said. “It’s because if I had my way, I’d do that all day every day.”
