Del Meets the Twelve by 12 Quilts

Tonight I attended the preview night for IQF Long Beach and got to see our wonderful array of quilts again. It still knocks my socks off. I found Del Thomas, our angel, at the Visions Gallery table. I was so excited to see her and the quilts together. She had taken a quick look at our quilts and will spend more time with them tomorrow as she was on duty for Visions all night.

Here is a long shot (sort of) of the show. The quilts are in one long row with a divider between the theme set and the color set.

I missed having other twelves with me. I hung out when I saw a group gathering. I got the wonderful comments - like best thing at the show. Several had purchased our book and were excited to see them.

I am looking forward to seeing Terry and Karen tomorrow. I hope to get a photo of us with Del.

Del Thomas Gallery

Friday night was the opening of the Del Thomas Gallery at Visions Art Museum in San Diego and I was so excited to be there.

Del is the Patron Saint of Art Quilts in my opinion, and judging by the crowd I'm not alone in thinking that. Several of the Twelves had pieces hanging in this show, and it was so great to see these familiar works hanging on the gallery wall. Del prepared a catalog with a little blurb about each quilt hanging and it was interesting to read her thoughts on her collection.

 Lucky me, getting a photo with the star of the evening.
