So impressed with Libby's threadplay background I had to jump in. Here's my background with stylized flowers.

My effort isn't anywhere near as exciting. I saw a quilt on Libbys legend show in 2009, it was an early one without a name before she used thread play to sew the ribbons.
This is my quilt inspired by that show

Sorry can't add from iPad back in a minute

Maybe somebody from TQS will collect the photos of the challenge quilts and send them to Libby.

Beautiful job Nancy! A great tribute to Libby! Will she get to see it, or a photo of it?

Very nicely done, Nancy! I love the quilting you did for the water! I've done that once and it is so much fun to do, huh!? It's wonderful that you were able to bring so many of Libby's techniques into one small quilt!

April has finally arrived and time for the Inspired by Libby reveals. What I decided to do was watch her DVD and incorporate as many techniques as possible in my project. Her ribbons reminded me of seaweed, so I decided to do an underwater scene. Here's what I came up with:

Included techniques:
- Ribbon threadplay
- Reverse applique
- Applique with sheers
- Bobbinwork
- Couched thread in binding

Here are some detail shots:

I had a lot of fun working on this!

Here in the banana belt of Montana, at the base of the Rockies, we are having nice spring days! Maybe in the 50°s for the most part. The nights are down around freezing, and the only snow right now is a nightly dusting at higher elevations. The lake has completely thawed now, too. I guess I have no excuses to start daily walks again! :unsure:

Dawn,

Glad you are having some sunshine Lois, and long may it continue.

Terrie, we are well used to changes in weather here in Ireland - we can have four seasons in one day, even in summer. :lol: So we always have something warm and something waterproof nearby just in case. Layers of clothes, so that some can come off or some can go on depending on the weather. ;) The temperatures you experience in Canada are so far outside my experience - if we get into minus figures it's a big deal here. Temperate climate, temperate people here in Ireland. :lol:

I am happy to say we had sunshine in central PA today. Most of the snow is gone and the temps were in the low 40's. At least it looks like spring even if its a bit chilly. Sometimes in our area we completely skip spring. The daffodils bloom then we have 85F days and they are fried. I might not complain were that to happen this year.
