It is with a profoundly sad heart that I share the sad news that Judy Gale Roberts, Intarsia artist, has passed away from liver disease and other complications.  I cannot express what an inspiration she was for me.  To be associated with a world renowned artist is amazing to me.  To call her and Stephen friends. To gain artistic insight, view what I see through a different lens, to not settle for okay in my projects are but a few of the lessons I gained from her.  Her kindness and sharing heart of her craft inspired thousands,if not tens of thousands.  Prayers for her husband Stephen and the family as the sad days go forward.

Judy was the Intarsia Queen.  She will be missed.  Pray for her Husband, family, and her staff.

Amen.

When I was born the people laughed and I cried.

May I live a life where when I die, the people cry and I laugh.

I imagine as she looks down upon us, Judy is smiling and laughing as we cry, she touched so many people in so many ways with her gifts and generosity.

A sad day in the scrollsaw/Intarsia world. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and woodworking family.

Although made during and for those lost during Covid, it is apropos for the news regarding Judy.

This is one of my favorite hymns.

I have made several of Judy Gail Robert's patterns and I plan to do many of them once more. She was truly a giving and talented woman who will be missed world wide. I feel so sad for her husband as I know he was with her as she helped so many to excel in Intarsia work and brought so much joy to so many people. I know I will miss seeing her new patterns she continually made and sold to so many. It is truly sad to know she will no longer be here to help so many people. I will pray for her husband for sure as I know it has to be extremely difficult for him at this time.

I was thinking today.   All the outpouring, of sympathy, condolences, sadness, respect, admiration, and sorrow, that has been on here, on FaceBook and I am sure other social media, must give some comfort to her family.  She certainly was a very giving, talented, lady.   I wish I would have had the opportunity to meet her.

We should also direct our prayers to Judy's two assistants, Marianne and Judy.  They have been with her a long time and when you work in a small office it becomes like a family.

The hymn was so touching. I have been told the legacy one leaves when they pass on is what one works for all there living days. So many of us are so Blessed to experience Judy Gale Roberts legacy in our lifetime, she will never be forgotten
