There are over a hundred 12"X12" quilts in the Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collection, about a third of the total. Most of them are from SAQA online auctions. I like to support the organization and also support the quiltmakers, who have donated their work. This piece is from 2010 and was made by Deborah Boschert, who is currently president of SAQA. It is very typical of her work then and now.
"Possibilities" Deborah Boschert 2009 12" X 12"
Hand dyed and commercial cottons, sequins, beads, embroidery thread.
Raw edge machine applique, embroidery, beading, machine quilting.
In addition to the label on the back, Deborah pinned her business card.
Each square sequin is fastened with a tiny crystal seed bead.
Notice the embroidery thread worked over the binding.

What fun to see this quilt! I am delighted that my work is part of your collection. Goodness... 2010! So long ago and yet... I continue to explore some of these same materials, techniques and themes. Thank you so much for being such a long-time, dedicated and generous supporter of SAQA and fiber artists.
I love seeing Deborah's quilt from your amazing collection, Del!
