May 1, 2008 - On April 15, 2008 Christa Ebert of Bad Zwichenhahn, Germany joined Studio Art Quilt Associates, Inc. (SAQA) and unknowingly became the organization's 2000th member.

"This is a BIG day for SAQA!  We have had amazing growth over the last few years, and it would not have happened without the many dedicated volunteers who have created an organization artists want to belong to.  My hope is that we can continue growing and retaining members - both national and international - artists, students, academics, collectors and other arts professionals," said Judith Content, President.

SAQA is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote the art quilt through education, exhibitions, professional development, and documentation.  With an active membership of established and emerging artists, the artwork created by SAQA members can be found in both national and international exhibitions, galleries, museums and private collections.
