Design Inspiration:

I've traveled with Libby and judged shows with her. She was the fastest to say 'release' during the viewing process. We all know Libby was a world traveler with a passport full of exotic destinations. On our way to teach in Calgary Canada at immigration, I watched the agent look at Libby and say- " Libby, hello come right in". My fondest memories of Libby were when we were on faculty in Houston. Libby would greet us - Do you need anything? I can bring it to you tomorrow, wine, art supplies, comfort food? Always Libby to the rescue. It me she is the Real Texas Star! Quilt is a modified center medallion with Log Cabin set.
