Recovered! Quilt left at Panera

May 12 2012

Ginny Feikert hoped had someone found a quilt that she was currently working on. She accidentally left it in Panera (St Louis) Bread Co at Mid Rivers Mall in St Peters, Missouri. It was not turned in to their lost and found. It was last seen on July 7, 2011.

On May 12, 2012 she rejoiced, “The quilt has been found! I was sure I had taken it with me to Tulsa, but since it was not in the car when I got there, I assumed that I must have left it at Panera. It was in my sewing room the whole time, and I am too happy to be embarrassed!! Praise the Lord. I am going to name the quilt ‘Amazing Grace’ as it ‘was lost, but now is found.’” We rejoice with her!

The quilt is a “4 patch posie” quilt intended for her daughter. The rows are mostly finished and are ready to be sewn together. The main colors are light blues, dark blues, pinks, greens, and purple.

Coastal Life

Apr 30 2012

Barbra Torgusen is asking that everyone be on the lookout for this called “Coastal Life.” It was made by Barbra and members of the CCQG. The quilt was last seen on April 14, 2012 in San Leon, Texas. It was one of two quilts in a handmade quilted bag that was on the back seat of Barbra’s car. The car was broken into while she was staying at the Windmill Gardens Inn during an American Legion Convention. A police report was filed.

This quilt is about 45″ by 60″. The main colors are reds and blues. Each block is different and encorporates a wide variety of quilting techniques. It was made from challenge blocks in 2012.

Barbara is offering a reward for the return of this quilt. Obviously it is not replaceable due to the numerous types of handiwork that went into making the quilt top. If you find this quilt, please contact Barbra at ladyromanc@aol.com.

Peter’s Bug Collection

Apr 29 2012

Patty Macy is searching for a quilt that she made for her grandson, Peter Macy. This quilt was last seen in 2009 in Silverdale, Washington. The Navy family was moved to Italy for assignment. The quilt didn’t make it. It may have been packed in the household goods that were stored in Washington, but when the family returned to Silverdale and opened the boxes, they still couldn’t find the quilt.

The quilt is about 50″ by 59″ The main colors are blues, reds, yellows, greens, browns, black and white. Patty used the bottle quilt pattern with various bug fabrics, so it looks like bottles of bugs sitting on shelves. The quilt is machine pieced and machine quilted. It is custom quilted with bug shapes and bug names in the black open spaces around the bottles. The label reads something like: “Peter’s Bug Collection, created with love by Patty Macy 2005.” It is sewn on a back corner.

Patty has made several similar quilts, but each one is a little different. One is hanging in a grandson’s home in Virginia. Others were donated to CASA kids and to A Partner’s In Care Fundraiser, El Dorado County, California.

If you’ve seen Peter’s quilt, please contact Patty at patmacy@gmail.com.
