This evening was the reception for the "Recent Acquisitions From the Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collection " at Visions Art Museum in San Diego. There were about 90 people attending, not bad for a holiday weekend! It was a lovely group of people and they all seemed to enjoy the exhibit. One of the VAM Board Members suggested that we do a popular vote, so all the guests are handed a little ballot and a golf pencil to vote for which quilt they like best. Several ask me which is my favorite, but I tell them I don't have a favorite - how could I? They are all my favorite or I wouldn't have added them to the Collection!
I was so busy talking and answering questions and explaining techniques that I didn't take a single picture, or even think about where my camera might be - in my purse! But after my meeting tomorrow I'll go back to the museum and if there aren't many people there I will take more pictures.

I'm pleased to hear the exhibit and opening night were a success! But, then with so many fabulous works of art and a collector with a very special eye, how could it have been any different. Congratulations!
Yesterday my sister and I visited VAM in part to celebrate her birthday. The exhibit is exquisite, dynamic and inspiring. Thank you for collecting and so generously sharing with the public!
Del, It was a magical evening! We enjoyed it so very much. I lost my husband at one point and found him, glasses off, face two inches from a quilt, receiving info from Del. (He is not a quilter.) The exhibit catalog is the best I have ever seen. Can't wait to go back. XO
Sounds like a smashing success. You deserve it!!! Happy for you :)
