Cultivating Community Through Quilting with Dianne Miller

Episode #8

Here are the highlights from my Women Developing Brilliance interview with Dianne Miller on Cultivating Community Through Quilting.

Who is Dianne?

Dianne is forever creative. She says, “For as long as I can remember I could be found with a needle and thread or paper and crayons, always happily creating.”

She now owns and operates Carriage House Quilts in Naples, NY. This is not only a gathering place for the community to join like-minds and artistic souls, it’s a safe space to cultivate conversation, celebrate wins, and establish lifetime memories one piece at a time.

Overcoming Life’s Struggles

Taking in a multitude of other people’s suggestions and opinions was a challenge for Miller. She had to establish boundaries that would help her stay in alignment with her true nature, as well as meet her personal business goals. At the end of the day, she kept the advice that could be implemented and discarded the rest in order to maintain integrity.  

Shining a Bright Light

Miller says, “There’s never a mistake. It’s always a creative opportunity.” 

Other words of wisdom that she lives by are always operate with integrity and treat others how you’d like to be treated.

#CommunityOverCompetition

I loved my time with Dianne because

Her love for people and their success is really inspirational. Whenever someone dedicates themselves to bettering the Community, I’m all in. Her “You Can Do It” attitude is something that we all can learn from.
