My 12 x 12 quilt “26 Hours 6 Minutes,” which I donated to the Contemporary QuiltArt Association (CQA) for FUNdraising and the Steadman Challenge, sold at the Vashon Center for the Arts last month during CQA’s Quilts Unlimited exhibition.

When a good friend and fellow quilter moved to Omaha, Nebraska, she gave me a large bag of her fabric scraps, which I combined with some of mine. I call this small art quilt “26 Hours 6 Minutes” because that is the time, according to Google Maps, that it would take me to drive to her house. Fortunately, thanks to Zoom and email, our friendship remains closer.
