Ineke Thomas
Ineke Thomas' art is influenced by her Dutch heritage, early life in Indonesia and travels through many parts of the world. Thomas's attraction to fiber and fabric began at age 3 or 4 in Sumatra, Indonesia, when she would be seated on the floor watching her mother's work on her sewing machine.
Her mother gave her scissors, thread, a needle and sewing scraps and encouraged her to make dolls and clothes for those dolls. Thus a journey of 20 years started that led to Thomas' quilting and her quilt based art.
Some 40 years ago, when expecting her first child, Thomas acquired her first quilt. When she came to the USA from the Netherlands in 1964, she had never seen a quilt until her mother-in-law gave her one in 1970 at her baby shower. Star struck by the handwork and the multiple fabrics, Thomas developed an instant desire to create quilts.
Traditional bed size quilts made from available patterns soon became the products of Thomas's spare time. Following step-by-step directions, after 20 some years, eventually lost its appeal, which in turn catapulted her into a realm of independent design.
