Gina was inspired by Libby's quilt, Drift. Follow along as she shares with you some of the techniques she used to create her piece, Wishes for Libby. She shows off some of the "awesome" stitches she discovered on her BERNINA and discusses her cutwork attachment which works with her embroidery machine. Gina also demonstrates how to applique with a highly textured fabric using a water-soluable stabilizer. Using her Gammill, she demos a raw-edge longarm applique technique to emulate some of Libby's threadplay work.
Star members can watch Gina in Episode 308: Artistry on a Long arm and Episode 1005: "Twofer" the Money: Terrific Time Saving Techniques with Gina and Pat Yamin.
You can visit Gina at her website, www.GinaPerkes.com
Here are just a few of the artists who've created quilts "Inspired by Libby." Enjoy (and learn from) their videos and slideshows as they share their love for this marvelous lady.

July 1 will start a Summer Class that will yield an amazing quilt. It's just 30"x30". You can do this as a summer project and have it ready for your walls or as a holiday gift.
"Happiness" is coming your way with award-winning quilter, Jacqueline de Jonge. Jacqueline's quilts scream with color and precision. With her quilt titled "Happiness" you will learn circles, corners, sashing, mitered corners, spikes and curves. Use your stash to create an explosion of color, or create a neutral quilt with personality. The instruction is great and the result is a quilt you will be proud of.
There is a pattern that comes with pre-printed foundation paper to make this an easy journey. The price will be slashed to just $19.95 so everyone can play.
Please raise your hand by adding a comment to this blog saying you are interested in the pattern with the foundation. You are not bound to this decision. It is for planning purposes only.
Get a taste of what is coming by watching Jacqueline's TQS Show 911. Free for everyone through June 30.

We've been showing you all the wonderful quilts being created by some amazing artists that have been inspired by Libby Lehman. Now we thought we'd show you some of Libby's amazing quilts. While she was in Houston in the fall, Alex toured an exhibit of Libby's quilts with Libby's sister, Ellen, as her guide.

The next time you're giving a quilt as a gift, why add a quilt pouch to the back? This great idea was sent to us by TQS member Marlette.
"When I give a quilt as a gift, I make a small muslin envelope, 4 x 4 inches, and mark on the outside that it contains fabrics from the quilt for any needed repairs. I put 3 x 3 inch squares of all the fabrics inside. I then stitch the envelope closed and slip stitch it onto the quilt backing in the corner opposite the label.
"The envelope can easily be removed if desired, but I encourage the recipient to keep it attached as the swatches will be laundered the same as the quilt, and will be a closer match (if they're needed) than if they were stored in a drawer."
If you have a great tip to share send it to us here. I will add link.
