  • RESPECT

  • It doesn't matter what disability you have, you are never discriminated in my eyes. All comes to me conditioned or not, I am the inspiration of the future. All is possible in my eyes, all can be done where there is a will, there are ways to make it happen.

  • 100% inspirational, wow what a woman!!

  • I love the story in the beginning very inspirational

  • Not throwing the BS card, just wondering... why does a blind person wear a watch? Or am I blind too?

  • @bigassdogbite The blind guy I knew growing up had a watch that the glass flipped up on so he could feel the time, by feeling where the hands were.

  • @bigassdogbite They used to have watch faces that open up so they can feel the hands. They may have something more technologically advanced now, though.

  • @bigassdogbite the have some that tell the time out loud as well as braille watches

  • I guess the 27 ppl who disliked this are the "Whoa is me, my back hurts" complainers!

  • It's amazing how people with the biggest obstacles actually have incredibly better outlooks on life than those without. Truly inspiring.

  • I wish they showed her friend/sewing teacher answering why/how it occurred to her to ask/offer sightless Diane to even try such a challenging craft.

  • nice that she can do something now but i find it sad that people think god did this. your friend a real person showed you how to do it. she is the one who helped you not god. this is why the world is so messed up because people go around saying god helped them when a real live person helped you. maybe her friend is better then her and would like some plugs but nope no name. only god.

  • @Goobzor Or maybe her friend knows and loves God and wants Him to have all the glory. He made us for His glory and to enjoy Him forever. So sad that you don't understand. That's because you are on the outside looking in. God welcomes you to come in and enjoy the party.

  • What is the proverbial definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over & over again & again & expecting a different out come? What do you call voting? It has been said that it's not those who vote that count, it's those who count the votes.

    "A nation of well educated men who have been taught to understand and cherish their God given rights cannot be enslaved. It is through the regions of ignorance and apathy that tyranny prevails.

  • I think she is cool. I hope she finds love so she won't be alone. Someone should get her some cool looking sunglasses to wear for future tv appearances. She is inspirational and awesome. I think she is groovy.

  • thank you diane how can i get one of your quilt's 

  • Thank you Diane. You are such an inspiration!

  • I love her already ;)

  • this should have 0 dislikes

  • 13 people need a Hug! that video is just wow and yes I cried what an inspiration!

  • Diane, you are a role model, an encourager, you bring light into the dark places in peoples' hearts. What if you had never asked God, "So now what do I do?" and what if you hadn't felt Him answer? Thank you for sharing your faith and your life with us not to mention your sense of humor!

  • Wow - what a talented lady, just amazing what she can do.

  • Oh, man! This one weighs in at about a 9.3 on the Hankie Scale. Somebody should put up an advisory on these tear-jerkers!

  • Her hands have been anointed to do miracles!!!

  • I have had the pleasure of meeting Diane last month. Getting to know her over the phone for months and then meeting her in person was uplifting. She is a breathe of fresh air. There is nothing fake about her. God is in her heart .

    Her web site tells all about her and how to meet her. This video reminded me to stop complaining about what I can't do,like sew a straight line. We all have talents to share and be thankful for.

  • God Bless you, Diane!

  • This woman is unbelievable. How loving! How full of grace!

  • Hnbjbn mn.xj hhhhh

  • This is worth sharing.

  • how wonderful is this !!!! what an awesome attitude as well...

  • Well well well... so that is what you've been up to for 30 yrs!! Do you still sing Diane?

  • Simply wonderful x

  • WaaaaW from Israel

  • I am a sewer myself, and being fully sighted, I'm embarrassed that I have ever complained while sitting at my sewing machine!! More Americans should have her passion and "get over it" attitude.

  • I went to high school with Diane and she was amazing then as well. Never in a funk or bad mood, and just had a positive attitude about everything! I am so glad she's led a great life so far. I had often wondered how she was doing. You go get 'em, Diane!!

  • This was an article on one woman's testimony not for the athesits to be on here to dispute everything, if you don't believe in God then why do you spend so much time trying to disprove him, or are you stil trying to convince yourself there is no GOD because if you are you are doing a poor job of it

  • @007NOTARYINC - We understand it's "her" testimony of perserverance. Why do you religious freaks spend so much time trying to convince us there is "One"? To state an imaginary being "made" you do something IS lunacy. It's like saying God made you walk across the street while any reasonable person could tell you that your two legs did the job.

  • Comment removed

  • @Jeffemano - - One day, you'll stand before the Master, and surely know for yourself, that He is real! When you have a personal encounter with Him, all things will be made known... even to a poor atheist like you. The Bible says, It is written: "As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God." You are a lonely, single debater desiring attention and what better way to get it! You've lost, because He doesn't need humanity to prove who He is!

  • @itsmytime50 - you poor deluded bag of meat. You're the perfect example of why religion is contorting to the masses. I'll not beleive in whatever the hell I want and give my opinion to those that I want. Why argue back? Because you fools can't help, but try to infect the people who don't follow what you do. Go ahead and stand before your master...sheep...baaahhh.

  • An Amazing testimony to the Power of God and how she has accepted what the Lord has for her and turn lemons into lemonade!!!

  • This is a nice story. I can't believe 7 people don't like this! What tallent she has!

  • God is a cop out...I would be more amazed if she took credit for her own ability to overcome her handicap instead of praising a figment of mass hysteria.

  • This is the American Spirit of independence and self-reliance personified.

  • Amazing! Very touching and wonderful story.

  • this is freaking beautiful. i want to give her a hug. people with huge obstacles in life can go and do something so amazing, while there are so many who have nothing wrong with them and choose to not do jack with their life. its just amazing. God bless you sister!

    Barbara in Indiana

  • You go girl.

  • How could 7 people not like this? Are they the ones on the couch complaining? Man, she makes me feel guilty for not achieving more.

  • @dldakin46 Because they are jerks and don't know how to give polite comments.

  • What a wonderful story. Thank you Lord for showing her the way!

  • what a fantastic lady with a wonderful talent. i started learning how to quilt a year ago, i have full use of my eyes and i am nowhere near this ladies level. brilliant video it brightened up my day i stopped feeling sorry for myself

But the diabetis is the rough one & a med she was using, ~~ Thanx again Lady Di

  • There are some who talk "the talk" but don't "walk the walk".. Then the are those like this woman who simply "walks the walk". I've been inspired.

  • why would anyone dislike this???? those six people need to be blinded!

  • wwwwwwwwoooooooooooooooooooo hhhhhhhhhhhhooooooooooooooooo baby!

  • I just started quilting at the age of 56. This lady absolutely encourages me to 'press on.'

  • Wonderful show. I am a quilter from Michigan - wintering with my daughter here in

    Texas....You are an amazing lady with a GREAT talent...I enjoy the Texas Country

    Reporter each Sunday while I am here. I am so glad he found you - to share your

    beautiful quilts with others...kls

  • wow... the narrator sound jut a little... special...

  • If u would like to see quilts available for purchase visit Diane's website theamazingquilter

  • God's Warrior !!!!

  • You are amazing

  • Diane, You are a Proverbs 31 woman. You are a blessing and an encourager in more ways than you can imagine! What a mighty woman of God, and on that day when you see Him Face to face, He will say "well done my great and faithful servant!"

    You are beautiful inside and out! Blessings, Cobi

  • you want to be an encourager? You are an encourager Diane!!! You encourage me! May God continue to bless you. What a lovely miracle He caused you to SEE that night in the rain. Thank you so much...........thank you more than so much! Love, Roxanne

  • i love diane! you are my hero! 

  • awesome!!! This woman really puts the guilt trip on me. >_>

    I really gotta get off my butt and count myself blessed to have the things that I do. What can I say....I'm inspired LOL.

  • That is just super. I am just amazed at all the beautiful work she can do by feel alone. Truly inspiring.

  • What an inspiration. God has truly blessed you!!!

  • God Bless her always--she is a very Wise and Gifted woman!!

  • I've been quilting 40 years and it takes me a long time to do a quilt. Now I feel really inept. She is blessed. What a delightful Lady. I'm grinning ear to ear, with wonder in her.

  • Incredible. Never ever underestimate someone who can't physically see, because the other 4 senses see more.

  • You have given me hope in mankind my dear! What an inspiration you are!

  • This woman is amazing holy cow... :) very blessed

  • wow! she really is a blessing ! she did so amazing ! god really can do anything and everything! god bless her!

  • She is truly an inspiration....I will order a quilt for sure. I need a part of her strength in my home as a reminder of how blessed we are.

  • there will be those for and those against most things in life we just have to chose which ones to focus on... i will take the positive every-time... ; ))

  • The 6 dislikes have a problem with her giving all Glory to God.. We should pray for them..

    Please check out Diane's website to order a quilt or for her contact information. She does sell her quilts and loves to travel to speak at quilt shows, church groups, ect.... theamazingquilter

  • This is a simply amaging story. Wow, I think we can all take notes from this wonderful lady.

  • How could these 6 people actually "dislike" what they're seeing? Perhaps if they were NOT seeing they'd get it. She's not talking about selling her work or trying to plug something, she explaining all's not lost because you lose one thing, you still have a myriad of senses waiting to be shared with others. She's trying to TELL people something, if they're willing - if not, they're wasting life. LOOK at her, a real example of how to bless others with whatever you have to give.

  • Thats amazing! very proud of this lady, she's an inspiration to all !

  • What a blessing you are! I would love to know how you figure out where things go and how you keep everything straight. You truly are an inspiration to those who have challenges, but more so for those who have no excuses for not being useful. God bless you.

  • What a cute lady. I feel sympathy for the 6 persons who took the trouble to register their "dislike" of this lady and/or her work. They have to be real downers.

  • @ eyeondsgn she has a PVC frame that she puts around the place where she's quilting... She is Very organized.. Check out her website theamazingquilter

  • Our Lord is WONDERFUL and so are you DIane Rose !!!

  • AWESOME!!!!! So inspiring...She's amazing!

  • What an incredible life.

    "...with God all things are possible."

    Matthew 19:26

    

  • She will enjoy the blessings that are in store for us as promised in Isaiah 35:6,7 when she will be able to see again.

  • I love hearing stories like this one. I have gone through quite a few health issues. They are a journey........I don't wish for anyone to feel t holds no positive energy.sorry......that doesn't accomplish anything productive.

    My question is: how do you keep the quilts straight and where you left off. Is there a system you have created?You are so right about the 'pity party'.......so boring to have one. It holds no progressive energy. BUT, the journey affords the time. eyeondsgn

  • WOW!!! AWESOME!!!

  • well I needed to see this. what a inspiration .. GOD bless

  • HOW AMAZING GOD BLESS

  • This story made my heart smile! Diane is indeed blessed!

  • Diane is totally awesome and and an inspiration to us all. God Bless her

  • @ SyverCyber the 6 dislikes don't believe in God.....

    @ adigers it's a braille watch the glass lifts up and she feels the dots.. they are expensive

    She is amazing and inspires me daily.

  • google theamazingquilter for order information

  • Awwww! What a beautiful, inspiring person! May God continue to bless you, Diane!

  • What an amazing person. No whining from this strong beleiver. A lesson for all of us.

  • Monday, 2/28/11. There are (6) people that did not like this video.  Why would that be? Content? Quality of video? Quality of reporting? What would be the reason that someone would not like this video. Just curious.

  • I love her wristwatch. Does she see or hear the time?

  • OMG! she's amazing! she's is very encouraging!

  • @GreyWolfEyes1222 wow! she's such an inspiration! she's inspired me to get back to making jewelery again. i'll share some soon. she's MY role model.

  • I just wish I had the gumption this lady has. Beautiful work even for a sighted person.

  • Is Diane's website

  • theamazingquilter

  • marry me diane!

  • She IS encouraging, such an angel and so talented. I always mean to take time and make quilts, and NOW NOTHING IS GOING TO STOP ME. From a 67-year-old great-grandma in northern CA. (9 children, 28 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren, and I have taught a lot to sew, knit and crochet)

  • WOW! I am utterly speechless...

  • Absolutely amazing! Love her!

  • what a way to show gods work. She is a woman that nothing will be able to stop her! She gives us all hope!

  • id like her address id like to buy some of her beautiful quilts

  • I must reach this extraordinary woman! Anyone who can help me, please email me at 911quiltmaker@charter.net I have a job for this lady that will change her life!

  • How could anyone dislike this video? It is such an inspiration. She is so right about things being an inconvenience. May God bless & keep her.

  • how do i order a quilt ?

  • I do like the part where Diane tells the interviewer / reporter that her blindness is an inconvenience. She does not construe the ailment as a tragedy. And yes, the reporting was upbeat, but I can't stand the sentimentalism running through the story. Before the uploader decides to slap me down, let me say this. I am blind in one eye and half-blind in the other.

  • amazing, what an inspiraton

  • What an awesome lady!!

  • Beautiful! Yes, a great inspiration.

  • What an Inspiration this woman is! And what a tremendous attitude she imparts.

  • So, here's what I see. A woman attributes her talents to God, and people have to debate about it. If she had attributed her talents to smoking weed or to a bad case of indigestion, nobody would have questioned it. : ) lol Admire it for what it is. A talent. If she wants to give the glory to God, so be it. It's certainly not hurting anyone.

  • Diane...U are a blessings and inspiration to ALL> Especially those of us legally blind! Thanks for your show of faith and giving dredit to our Creator!!

  • How can anyone not see this as a gift from the Creator?!? She has a special gift that not just anyone can have. Is there a way to buy one of these quilts? I would be honored to own one. I would hug it and love it for eternity. I think it would be a gift from God. Diane if there is a way PLEASE let me know. Thank you for the inspiration. PEACE LOVE RESPECT Crowwoman (ann_holley59@yahoo.com)

  • @CrowwomanAnn I do SOOO agree with you!! Only a person who's filled with the Holy Spirit can embrace life like she does. I too would love to own one of her quilts and cherish it as you would...a gift from God. Ellyc19111@yahoo.com. If anyone has any ordering info, please let me know. God Bless all. And especially you, Diane.

  • excellent, she overcame and thats great

  • Amazing story and woman..I would love to buy one of her quilts...do you know if this is possible.

  • Nice quilts and inspirational lady

  • Your story made me cry. your so right about what you said about getting off the couch and helping others, to take your mind off of your own inconviences as you put it so well.

    God has truly blessed you.

  • Thanks so much Diane, You sure have inspired me. I have severe COPD and your inspiration and determination helps get me a moving. is there a way to buy one of you quilts? Or have one made? Thanks and God Bless you, Nick Prom, Canon City Colo.(fuzzy7191@msn.com)

  • Praise GOD!!!

  • I had just noticed that myself. 5 dislikes? Really!?!?!? I loved this piece. And Diane is just an amazing inspiration!

  • @pward1164 I noticed the 5 dislikes also, doesn't make sense, this woman is incredible, he was truly blessed, I too find her very inspiring.

  • I wonder how 5 people can dislikes this.  Your amazing Diane!!!

  • This is truly an amazing woman! "I can do ALL things through Christ, who strengthens me!"

  • Simply amazing....you are an inspiration to everyone

  • Diane,

    What an amazing role model you are! Your quilts are beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing your talents with the world!

  • Diane, I love you.

  • Addressed to Skeptical bliss - you truly show your ignorance of the bible in your statements, and I can only take it that you have superficial understanding of rudimentary english. Are you a catholic?

    Zech 14:1-2 - speaks of a future event, this was prophecy, it is not God condonning it, it would befall the people.

    all of your references are without merit as being evil, read with understanding, this is why the conclusion you are either a catholic or muslim

  • What a women!! And yes, Diane, you are an excellent role model for others.

    Thank you for all you do.

    God Bless, Linda
