Design Inspiration:

Inspired by Libby's "Crop Circles" quilt, and an expression of my friendship with Libby, her accomplishments and memories of happier times. I chose Libby's "Crop Circles" quilt and I envisioned a garden for my (mostly round) circles because knowing Libby is like being in a garden, overflowing with an abundance of color, surrounded by lush green foliage, Libby's favorite color. As many different flowers grow in her garden as she has attributes - her brilliance, her bright smile, her abundant talent, her generosity in sharing her skills, her humor, her friendship - all attributes we have had the privilege of experiencing from Libby over the years, and more recently her courage, her strong determination, her fierce will = all as varied and intense as the flowers in Libby's special garden. May it bring as much joy as she has brought to all of us.
