Design Inspiration:
Inspired by Libby Lehman's "Crossfire". I first discovered Libby Lehman on TheQuiltShow.com. I could tell she was a pretty big deal, so when I saw her name as one of the judges in the very first Houston show I entered, I was THRILLED! I won first place with a small embellished quilt called, Alphabet Alchemy. Libby had written on the judge's sheet, "I LOVE this quilt!" Oh my gosh! THE Libby Lehman loves my quilt! I then had the privilege of taking a class from her a couple years later, and she was SO talented, SO amusing, and SO genuine. I was honored when Clara asked me to make a quilt for this exhibit/auction to benefit Libby. I used Libby's quilt, Crossfire as my inspiration. She has an amazing way with color. The solids I used are all hand dyed fabrics from my friend, Gilbert Muniz. I have a reputation for my alphabet quilts, and I think Libby would appreciate the letters and a few embellishments sprinkled over my quilt!
