Auction ends this Wednesday, April 12 at 8:00 PM CDT

This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to bid on quilts made by the author of Threadplay, quilt artist and innovator Libby Lehman.

Libby’s quilts have graced the walls of numerous museums, including the Smithsonian, and private collections around the world. One of her quilts, “Joy Ride,” is recognized as one of the twentieth century’s 100 best American quilts.

There will not be another opportunity to acquire one of Libby’s quilts. In April 2013, Libby, who is considered the innovator of machine embroidery, suffered a near fatal brain aneurysm followed by a stroke. While Libby has made an amazing recovery, she is no longer creating quilts as she once did.

Libby and her husband, Lester (pictured below with one of Libby's largest quilts, Frenzy) have decided to offer her remaining quilts in this online auction, which is comprised exclusively of quilts created by Libby.

Several quilts featured in Libby's book, Threadplay, are in the auction. Frenzy, Flotsam, and Tidewaters are three of her largest quilts featured in the book and in the auction.
