Her vibrant displays of color are considered high art and have graced the walls of museums around the world. She collaborates with another celebrated quilter, London-based Kaffe Fassett. Together they have produced four hardcover books and 13 glossy pattern books that feature the duo’s fondness for traditional patchwork. Quilts in Glorious Color, an exhibition of Lucy’s works mounted in honor of the anniversary of the arrival of Lafayette’s first women students in the fall of 1970, is on view through Dec. 31 in Skillman Library’s Lass Gallery.
