Quilter Diane Schonauer

Sponsor Upstate Heritage Quilt Trail

In 2016, The Upstate Heritage Quilt Trail (UHQT) announced the selection of Anderson City resident, Diane Schonauer, as the UHQT quilter of the year. This program is sponsored by the Upstate Heritage Quilt Trail to recognize a resident of either Anderson, Oconee or Pickens County who has provided community service and leadership through their quilting.

Philanthropy is a core value of Schonauer’s. Her work with the Anderson Quilt Guilds, Quilters of South Carolina, Anderson Quilts of Valor and the Upstate Heritage Quilt Trail and other community organizations keeps her very busy most days of the week.

Schonauer selected one of her quilts Wild Thing to be replicated. She opted to donate the hand painted quilt panel to the City of Anderson which placed it on the City Parking Garage. .
