What a lovely surprise!! Many of you probably know the name Bobbie Aug, an author, instructor, and may be best known as a knowledgable Quilt Appraiser. Bobbie passed away a short time ago. Her family hired a professional auction house to host an online auction of her huge personal quilt collection. It consisted of mostly beautiful vintage quilts.
I had totally forgotten Bobbie owned one of my pieces which was made by invitation to be donated to the 2006 Pilgram/Roy Challenge, (a charitable program).
A collector of my work who was also very good friends with Bobbie purchased this piece at Bobbie's online auction. It warms my heart that we three friends still had this connection and love of quilting.
The piece was appliquéd and heavily beaded.
