Blue and White Noah’s Ark Quilt

Blue and White Noah's Ark Quilt

Blue and White Noah's Ark Quilt

Marla Hayes is hoping to recover a Noah’s Ark baby quilt. It was last seen in Des Moines, Iowa on May 1, 2009. Her daughter was hospitalized at Blank Children’s Hospital for several days and no one realized the quilt was missing until May 6 when she was readmitted and they could not find the “blankie” to bring with them. Marla called the hospital and their security department several times over the next three months hoping it would possibly be found in the laundry, but it never was. The quilt was a gift in 2000 when her daughter was born.

This is a crib size quilt made from a commercially printed Noah’s Ark panel. It is machine quilted. The quilt had two or three repairs made by hand towards the bottom of the quilt.

Marla asks, “Even if this quilt is never found, do any quilters recognize this pattern or perhaps the material supplier that may have produced this design? If I could find this material at some fabric warehouse or vintage fabric store, I would purchase it in a minute and have a new “blankie” made for my daughter.” If you can help Marla, please email her at MHayes71@mediacombb.net.

Noah’s Quilt

Noah's Quilt by Debra Sue Zimmerman

Noah's Quilt

In February 2010 Debra Sue Zimmerman made a quilt for her friend’s son. She mailed it from Voorheesville, New York but when she addressed it, she accidentally transposed two of the four digits in the street address. Although she included her return address, nothing was ever returned. Both she and the recipient followed up with their respective post offices to no avail.

This is a machine pieced and machine quilted, twin size quilt. The top is made up of black and white blocks with a smattering of yellow blocks. It has a black, white, and yellow pieced border, and the backing is bright orange. Some of the black and white fabrics include the alphabet and a crossword puzzle fabric. There is a dedication to “Noah” on the back in one corner. It is signed by Debra Sue and dated with her SpiralZ Studios symbol (a spiral on top with a Z in the middle and another spiral on the bottom in a vertical design). The label is hand written and hand drawn.

If you have any information about this missing quilt, please contact Debra Sue at mamaodyssey@mac.com.
