I’m thrilled to announce that Nature’s Fractal has become part of the Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collection (TCQC).
Del Thomas has collected over 250 art quilts since 1985. In addition to enjoying them in her home, she shares curated groups of her collection and promotes the art quilt through exhibits. It’s wonderful to know that my work will be cared for and act as ambassador for promoting the art I enjoy making.
And speaking of exhibits, Nature’s Fractal will be one of 48 quilts from the TCQC collection on exhibit at the Texas Quilt Museum in La Grange from July 3 through September 28.
Read about why Del collects art quilts and her most recent exhibit at the Visions Art Museum here.
