Tabitha Lustig is hoping someone has found the quilt she made for Samantha Casas. The quilt was made in 2008 for Sami’s 18th birthday, and it is the first quilt Tabitha made using free-motion quilting. The quilt was last seen in Henderson, Nevada.
It is a queen-size log cabin quilt, made mostly of black, white, red, orange, and yellow fabrics. The backing is orange flannel. It is machine pieced and machine quilted. Tabitha also quilted suns, moons, and the phrase “I love you Sami” in the quilt. Sami’s step-mother threw the quilt away.
Tabitha writes, “I am hoping that someone, if indeed the quilt was thrown away…by some miracle saved it and may still have it.” If you’ve seen a quilt that fits this description, please contact Tabitha at tabitha.lustig@cox.net.
Noah's Quilt
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.

Alicia Traywick is asking for help locating Sean’s Dog Quilt. It was last seen in September 2008 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The quilt may have gotten mixed up with other things and been accidentally given away to the Salvation Army.
Alicia does not have a picture of the quilt, this twin size quilt has dogs on it and the color black is prominently featured. The quilt is machine pieced and commercially quilted. She knows it had a label which said something like, "To Sean from Grandma Pat." It may also say "Happy Birthday" or "Pat Woodard." The label was on the back at the bottom.
If you have seen a quilt that fits this description, please contact Alicia at pssykat22@aol.com.
Virginia Baeten hopes to recover her missing patchwork pillow. It was last seen in the 1970s in a grocery store parking lot on Wisconsin Avenue, Appleton, Wisconsin. She and her husband were transporting parts for her husband’s job, and they were in a very uncomfortable truck. Virginia was using the pillow as back support. She thinks it must have fallen out of the truck when they stopped, or it is possible it was stolen. It was missing five or ten minutes before they noticed it was gone. They reported it to the store and left their name and phone number, but never got a called.
The pillow is about 9 to 12-inches square. The main colors are rust, cream, and brown. She remembers there were half square triangles forming the design. It was hand pieced and hand quilted with beige thread, and sewn together on the edges by machine. The backing was probably brown or rust.
Virginia writes, "This was my first quilt project that I made while taking a quilting class in Kimberly WI. I now teach quilting and would love to have my first project back." If you have this pillow, please contact Virginia at vbaeten@charter.net.
The pillow was hand pieced and hand quilted with beige thread and sewn together on the edges by machine. Backing was probably brown or rust.

Asian Elementals by Stephanie Vesik
Stephanie used four Kona Bay Emperor panels which she machine quilted and bound with black cotton. Each panel is hand embroidered to emphasize the gold foil highlights. Each panel is individually quilted to represent fire, air, earth, and wind with a Japanese symbol in the top banner’s binding. Each panel is held to one another by means of Velcro bridges. This was done so the quilt could be displayed either as a traditional two by two panel quilt or as a banner with four across. Each panel has two loops at the top for hanging. Stephanie labeled each panel on the back with black ink. It says, "To Grim (heart symbol) Steph."

Yo-Yo Quilt
Zoo Babies
Pamela Jones was searching for a Zoo Babies quilt which she made for her great-granddaughter, Madeline Jones. It was adapted from a commercial pattern in "Quilts, Bibs, Blankies…Oh My!" The quilt was last seen on October 6, 2009 in Ft. Polk, Louisiana. Pamela shipped the quilt in an un-marked box from Chapmansboro, Tennessee to Ft. Polk. Her local shipping company reports the box was delivered on October 10, however the recipient never received it. She filed a complaint with the shipping company.
This quilt is 48" by 72". It uses various green nine-patch blocks and has a pink doggy flannel on the back. Pamela also used various colors of cotton velvet for the animal appliques.
In March 2010 she received a call from the manager of the shipping company giving an excuse for the missing package, but they are still unable to find it.
Please contact Pamela at jonesgp6792@bellsouth.net.
I Thought They Were Deer by Cindy Sanders
On January 7, 2009 Cindy Sanders mailed a quilt to her brother from Pompano Beach, Florida but it never arrived. It is possible that the label fell off. She wrote letters and gave photos to the shipping company, but she got no response.
Cindy used a commercial pattern to create this quilt. It is approximately 54″ x 72″. The main colors are oranges, browns, and greens. There are also several photos on the quilt. One is a man (Cindy’s brother) by a horse, and the Viet Nam Memorial statues and wall. A large machine-embroidered eagle is on the lower right corner. There are some fabrics with horses, moose, and Army designs.
The quilt has a label which says, “I Thought They Were Deer / From the Heart and Hand of Cindy Sanders / Pompano Beach, FL / For my Brother Rick Mayo / In Honor of his service in Viet Nam / Christmas 2008.” The label is hand sewn with a blanket stitch to the lower back left corner.
