In Box CDLXXII, donation to the SAQA Spotlight Auction

 

(Above:  In Box CDLXXII.  Approximately 7" x 5" and mounted to 10" x 8" white mat board. Click on image to enlarge.)

For the past few weeks I've had an item on my "to do" list which just didn't seem to get done until today.  This procrastination was unintentional because I really am in debt to SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Association).  I've learn so much from this international organization and have had several pieces accepted into their global juried shows.  I've written for the quarterly Journal (and was even paid for my writing!)  In the past, I've been a speaker at the annual conference.  Truly, I get much more out of my membership than I pay for!  Every other year, the conference is an in-person event.  This year, it is virtual but every year there's an on-line fundraiser called the Spotlight auction.  Art quilters all over the world contribute pieces that are put into provided 8" x 10" pre-cut mats (though mine is submitted "open" on the same sized mat board.)  Every year there is a deadline too.  Of course I wanted to donate but I almost missed the deadline.  Thank goodness I buckled down and finally made this piece!
