Diana Lodge has edited and contributed to numerous books on quiltmaking and embroidery, and is the author of Traditional Needle Arts Patchwork (Mitchell Beazley). She read history at Oxford University and went into publishing soon after. Coming from a family which has been involved in the wool business over many generations, it was perhaps natural that she should make textile arts her subject. She combines a very keen interest in the history of textile crafts with an enthusiasm for the work of today's textile artists, who continue to expand and develop this living tradition.
