Please be on the look out for these two stolen original quilts by Patsy Thompson. They were last seen in Holland, Ohio when Patsy placed them in her suitcase. She spent the night at a hotel in Corbin, Kentucky on February 29, 2012. Someone broke into her car and stole most of what was in the car, including the suitcase containing these quilts. A police report has been finled.
This original tulip quilt was partially quilted and not yet bound. The blocks are 22″ square and set on point. The overall size of the quilt is about 48-50″. The block background is dark blue, the feather appliques are green, and the tuplis are reds, pinks, and oranges. The setting triangle blocks are variegated green and blue. The appliques were cut from Appli-K-Kutz dies. This quilt is machine pieced, fused applique, machine applique, and machine quilted. It was made in 2011-2012. It does not have a label because it had not yet been completed.
This green flower quilt top is about 65″ by 62″. It has a hand-dyed green and rust, cotton sateen background fabric. The many flowers are yellows, blues, purples, red, and the swirls and leaves are a variety of greens. The flower shapes were cut from many different Sizzix die shapes and Appli-K-Kutz die shapes, and then arranged to form flower shapes. There is extensive trapunto work and free motion machine embroidery all over the top. This quilt top is fused and machine appliqued. It also has free motion machine embroidery on the applique shapes and the grapevine curly-cues coming off the swirl stems. This quilt top was also made during 2011-2012. The photo does not show the amethyst border that was attached later. All of the flowers also now have embroidery and/or trapunto.

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.
