At the Visions Art Museum Veranda Sale last month there were a number of 12X12 quilts that had been donated to the museum by Visions members. Although they had all been available for purchase they weren't on permanent display. So, I hadn't seen them prior to the Veranda Sale, I was excited to purchase some of them to add to TCQC and several as gifts for friends. The one below I purchased just for TCQC - partially because it is painted, a technique that is not represented in my 12X12 collection. But I also find it beautiful and in some way inspiring - "write about now" something we should all be doing.
Ann L. Scott's work in collaboration with her son Cameron B. Scott was shown in the Valya Gallery at VAM during the same time period as the Fashion exhibit. Both exhibits closed August 25th. Already hanging and continuing until October 20th is a VALYA Retrospective. On the "challenge wall" are the member's responses to the felting challenge.
This quilt is from the Text and Texting Challenge held in 2012.

Hands are notoriously difficult to draw or paint or stitch. Ann has done a pretty good job with these typing hands on a symbolic keyboard.
The background of hand painted fabric is heavily machine quilted.
The back has "ghostly" hands on a backing fabric showing scattered leaves.
But Ann did sign the back and include her location. That would be some help to a person interested in locating more of Ann's work. But an e-address, website, or phone number would help more. Check out Ann's website: www.fiberdesignsbyann.com

Thank you for adding this little quilt to your collection and for sharing it here. Your "Not enough information" comment was spot on (I'm always learning). This was my first attempt at painting hands... great fun!
