Design Inspiration:

Inspired by Libby's quilt "Escapades". The design and the name for my quilt were derived from what Libby Lehman means to me and to thousands of quilters around the world.

"Radiance" is a measure of the quantity of radiation that passes through or is emitted from a surface.

Through Libby's teachings, she emits power and energy to others. She passes this energy on to her students, to create beautiful works of art. Libby's "radiance" has touched so many.

Radiance is measured by "joules". The stronger the radiance, the more joules of energy and power are emitted. Libby, you are a very strong and powerful source of radiance.

My quilt is a tribute to Libby Lehman, a powerhouse of creativity, emitting mega volts of energy to the quilting industry.

You are a jewel and we adore you!!!!
