If you are a regular follower of my blog, you might remember this quilt. I made/donated it for the 2011 SAQA auction. The quilt was purchased by the Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collection. Del Thomas is one of the biggest supporters of art quilting that I know. Visions Art Museum in San Diego, CA recently named a new gallery after Del. The Del Thomas Gallery celebrated its opening on February 3.

| A Little Birdie Told Me 12" x 12" Collection of the Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collection |
I was totally thrilled to learn recently that the quilt A Little Birdie Told Me was to be included in the special exhibit at Del's gallery opening, Selections From The Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collection. The exhibit, which includes forty 12" x 12" quilts from Del's collection, is going to run from February 3 to April 22. If you are in the area or planning to be going that direction, please stop by the museum and check out the exhibit.
This next quilt is one I made a few months ago but didn't share here yet. I made this quilt as a gift for Del. She very generously sponsored the Twelve by Twelve exhibit at IQF Houston 2011, IQF Cincinnati 2012 and IQF Long Beach 2012. Del blogged about the quilt here.
