Nancy Brown is a Bay Area quilt maker who creates fabulous hand-appliqued, hand-quilted works, usually depicting animals. I have admired her pieces at Pacific International Quilt Festival every year and also at East Bay Heritage Quilters QShows. Today Mary and I went to EBHQ, held at the Oakland Convention Center and saw three of Nancy's quilts displayed.
"Elegy" (28"W x 23"L) is based on a photo of a tiger named Tatianna.
"Rocky" (15"W x 12"L) This sweet little tabby was part of the silent auction.
"Henry" (13.5"W x 18"L), also part of the silent auction, is named after the "Laugh-In" character Henry who appeared onstage with a flower and a poem. "Henry" will come to live in the Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collection. Hurrah, there is finally a Nancy Brown quilt in the Collection!

Corky will be so pleased to see this new quilt in your collection. Will you hang it at his eye level?
Henry is delightful.
This is a wonderful addition to your collection! "Henry" just makes me smile!
