Guest Artist: An Expert Quilter and Dancer Too!

Recently, I sent out this thread order to the famous Libby Lehman. You probably know her as an outstanding quilt maker who travels the world teaching machine quilting with unusual threads. She is an expert! But I know her as woman who will dance the polka at the drop of a hat.

In this this wonderful quilt called Flying Colors, Libby uses my Size 3 hand-dyed threads couched to the surface. Couching is one of the many techniques Libby teaches in her classes along with how to work with those tricky threads that try to trick you.

Libby and I have formed a mutual admiration society. I love her work and she loves my threads. We also enjoy a good polka once in a while! Ya, sure ya betcha!
