12X12 quilts in the Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collection 5 08-27-23

I didn't realize time was slipping away from me and I didn't blog all week.  As always I will try to do better.  

Here are six more 12X12 quilts in the Collection from the SAQA auctions over the years.  I do have quite a few  birds and will show more in a future post.  The 2023 SAQA Auction starts September 14.  You can see all 380 of the quilts at   www.saqa.com/auction and read how you can register and bid.   I always go through them all several times and make a list of those I am interested in.  This year there are 24 on my list.  Depends on the price and who is bidding,  but I will  probably acquire  3 or 4  new pieces for the Collection.

Quilt by Helen Godden added to TCQC 10-30-16



"Blue Wren"  Helen Godden  2016  12" X 12"

Original design painted on black cotton with Lumiere Acrylic paint and free motion quilted.



Another quilt from the SAQA 2016 online auction.  Helen Godden is well known in Australia and you can see her website at www.helengodden.com   She is an accomplished painter along with her quiltmaking abilities.  The Blue Wren is an Australian bird and like all wrens its tail is erect.  The quilting is quite intricate and goes beautifully with the subject of the quilt.
