Allison Aller is hoping that someone has found her missing quilt called “Crazy in the Garden.” It was last seen on May 14, 2011 at Quilt Market in Salt Lake City. It was in the C & T Publishers booth, but it never arrived back at C & T’s headquarters after the market was over.
This original quilt is 46″ by 46″. This heavily embellished quilt features garden colors; blue, green, pink, orange, and purple dominate. The quilt is covered with three dimensional flowers. It also has appliqued, machine embroidered hummingbirds and butterflies. There are several beaded butterflies as well.
This is the quilt that is on the cover of her book, “Allie Aller’s Crazy Quilting: Modern Piecing and Embellishing Techniques for Joyful Stitching.” The quilt also won a second place in the Embellished Quilts category at the IQA Houston Show in 2010.
There is a label on the lower right corner of the back that says, “Crazy in the Garden by Allison Aller, Washougal, Washington, 2009.”
If you find this quilt, please contact Allison at aaller@gmail.com.
C&T is offering a reward of $4,000.00 — no questions asked — for the return of the quilts. If one quilt is returned, the reward will be based upon the appraised value of the quilt.
