In January 2009, she gave it to a quilter who does longarm and hand quilting as a business in Garden Grove, California. At the time the quilter said it would take three to four months to finish. Alice was willing to give her extra time and stayed in contact with her until sometime in 2010 when she was unable to reach her by phone or email.

It may have become missing during a move from Kingsland, Texas to Montclair, California. Once she arrived in California, she stored some of her belongings in a garage, which someone rummaged through.

This quilt is a little bigger than king size. It features a large spaceship which has landed on earth, and there is an alien standing outside of the spacecraft. It is hand pieced and hand quilted.
