Joaquin (Ricky) and Mona (Alex) [Show 511] had a swingin' time choosing their favorite entry in the Big Love Challenge. They were really stoked to tell you that the winner is "With Love and Peace" by Pattheclarinetist.
TQS will ship pattheclarinetist a really cherry lava lamp to deck out her pad AND a gift certificate for 1-year TQS membership. Now that's far out, Man! See the rocking out entries that were totally boss.

CATHERINE WARREN HENRY ANTHONY, the mother of TQS 2009 Legend Libby Lehman, passed away on March 29, 2010 in Houston, TX. Catherine was featured in the legend #513 show with Libby which was taped in November of 2009.
She was proud to be a fifth generation Texan and a resident of Houston all of her adult life. Born in Nixon, TX, she graduated as the Valedictorian of her class from Edna High School. Catherine earned a B.A. in 1946 from Rice University, majoring in biology and chemistry, where she met her husband of 61 years, James Phillip Anthony, Jr. Catherine was a member of the Rice Historical Society, and she and Jim enjoyed numerous international trips with Rice University alumni groups.
Catherine was an accomplished quilt artist, instructor, lecturer, and judge around the country and internationally. She was a certified member of the Professional Association of Appraisers of Quilted Textiles, and was the author of two books on quilt blocks, and another book featuring her special area of expertise, Amish Expressions: Patterns for Small Quilts. She also co-authored two books on quilting techniques with her daughter, Libby Lehman.
The "Quilt Patch", a retail quilt store, was co-founded and owned by Catherine for twelve years. Her distinct personal style was beautifully displayed in a series of quilts she made honoring accomplished women of Houston. She also used her skill in balanced design, color, and impeccable workmanship to create peaceful garden areas with plants, rocks and fountains as her "fabrics".
She enjoyed friendship and loving support in a Quilt Group that has gathered monthly for over 30 years. She was an expert on Native American Indian jewelry, sharing a specialty jewelry business called "Sacha Traders" with her daughter, Sarah
We know you will want to send Libby your thoughts and prayers, but rather than filling up her email box, please post a comment here.
Here is the obituary from the Houston Chronicle.
