I was so saddened to read about Libby. Not only a generous quilter/teacher but a wonderful artist. My thoughts go out to her family and friends at this difficult time.

I feel so, so sad about this. I love that Libby is such a good quilt instructor, but even more than that I love her sense of humor. I can't believe how much she made me laugh at the Super Seminar I attended last summer. I learned so much at that seminar and I expected I would. What I didn't expect was how much I laughed and a lot of the laughter was the result of Libby's antics. It just seems to me her spirit is way too big and way too strong to go quickly or easily. Hang in there Libby! Like Frank, I don't believe your work here is finished yet.

Thank you Frank. I'm sure all the TQS family feels the same way. God Bless You.!!

Thanks to all responsible for this update site. Without it I would have been totally ignorant that something awful happened to Libby. Although I have never had the pleasure of speaking to her in person, I have attended the seminars and have her DVD, so I know what a wonderful person she is. She always seems to have a twinkle in her eye, because she is witty and has a great sense of humor.
I'm babbling, I know, but like most of us, the news is terribly upsetting. I can not stop thinking about her and praying for her. I will follow the family's wishes and just send a card for now. But I'm making a heart to send her at the appropriate time, and will certainly make a quilt block whenever that project is coordinated and announced to the TQS family.

Please dear Lord, forgive me for saying this, but we need her more than you do. Please help her recover.

I appreciate "the voice of reason" and updates from Ricky. I, like Lorchen, feel bewildered and helpless and hope and wish for a positive outcome. In the meantime, I realize I have absolutely no reason to complain about anything.

Even though I have never met Libby this all feels so personal, she comes across as such a lovely person.
Like everyone one else I feel so helpless, all we can do is pray for her to come through this safely.
This great outpouring of concern is coming from around the world and just goes to show how much we in the TQS family care about Libby, and also what a great bunch of people quilters are
My best wishes to her family also, I'm sure they are comforted by all the messages for Libby.

Thanks to everybody for the up-dates.

I'm sure that right now most of us feel bewildered and helpless.

Lynn, thanks for setting up this forum topic, and I hope that whoever sees any new posts will add it here.

I agree that just cards or quilted cards will be best at this point so as not to overwhelm the family.

Prayers and well wishes from around the world are a very good thing.

Thankful for all positive news! Thanks Ricky!

Thank you, Lynn and Pam. I am not on Facebook, so I really appreciate having updates here. Saying many prayers for Libby and her doctors!
