Libby and her husband, Lester, have decided to offer her remaining quilts in an online auction, comprised exclusively of quilts created by Libby. The opportunity to own one of her quilts has now arrived. There will not be another opportunity to acquire one of Libby’s quilts.

 

 

Libby described “Windfall” simply as, “It’s big.” She said, “I wanted to make it about 50”, but it ended up 87” because “the quilt talked to me and said, ‘I want to be Big’.” So she just let it be Big. Libby always encouraged her students to “listen” to their art and to not be afraid to follow where it leads. She also liked to listen to music while quilting and was known to do a little line dancing between quilt steps if she had country western or Jimmy Buffet music playing. Libby used two of her favorite colors in making this quilt, orange and green, but then again, her favorite colors change from time to time. You can’t help but wonder - was that Libby’s choice or the quilt’s? 

 

The online auction closes on April 12 at 8:00 PM CDT.
