Elizabeth "Libs" Elliott (born 1974)[1] is a Canadian quilter and designer known for her use of procedurally generated geometric quilt designs.[2]

Work

Elliott studied textiles at OCAD University (as well as photography at the University of Ottawa and cultural studies at Trent University) but did not start quilting until taking a class in 2009, after a 15-year career in advertising.[3][2]

In 2012, she was introduced to the Processing design software by a friend, the digital artist Joshua Davis, and began experimenting with quilts based on random geometric patterns output by the program.[4][2] Her work has been featured in Canadian Interiors,[5] Casa Vogue Brazil,[6] and Make:;[7] and exhibited at the DesignTO festival,[8] the Wisconsin Museum of Quilts and Fiber Arts,[9] and at the International Quilt Museum.[10] She designs fabric for Andover Fabrics,[11] and sells quilting patterns through her website.

Outside the quilt world, she has designed the branding for a limited-edition Absolut bottle commemorating the 150th anniversary of Canada in 2017,[12] and various patterns for the electronic device case brand GelaSkins.[3]
