State Flowers of Arizona and New York

Jul 04 2011

State Flowers of Arizona and New York by Lori BiehleLori Biehle is hoping someone knows where this special quilt is. She made it for her grandmother, Greeta Pelton, on her 90th birthday in 2004. At the time, she and her two children flew to Arizona for her party. She chose to depict the state flowers of New York and Arizona since that is where her grandmother spent her adult life. When she moved into Faithful Heart Assisted Living in Tucson, Arizona, Lori assumed the quilt went with her.

The quilt is about 40″ by 60″. The main colors are cream, black, yellow, and red. It includes a fabric with red roses on a yellow/cream background and another fabric with yellow saguaro cactus flowers with some black. The pattern is a “camp” pattern. It is machine quilted on a home sewing machine. It has a label on the back that says it is a 90th birthday gift for Greeta Pelton from Lori, Jim, Julia, and sam.

When her grandmother passed away in December 2010 at age 97, some of her things may have ended up in Herndon, Virginia with family. Lori was told that most of her things were donated to charity. However, Lori is hoping she can recover this quilt. If it was donated to Goodwill or Salvation Army, she is happy to repay the purchaser plus shipping, and make a matching donation to the organization.

If you find this quilt, please contact Lori at ljbiehle@sbcglobal.net.

Thangles II by Judy Currie

Thangles II by Judy Currie

Judy Currie reports that two of her quilts have been lost during shipment. They were sent from Clayton, North Carolina to Virginia on June 10, 2010. Unfortunately, they were never delivered and the shipping company cannot give Judy any information except they “think” her package was sent to the “slow mail” distribution center in Greensboro, North Carolina. Judy filed a claim that was sent to Florida where they send packages that are undeliverable and have not had any results.

The lap quilt, above, is 60″ by 75″. It has the Thangles II label as shown below, bottom left.

The table topper, below center, is approximately 36″ across and it is an octagon. It has a hand written label sewn to the back, bottom right.

If you can help with the recovery of these quilts, please contact judy at judyandmartyn@nc.rr.com.

Quilt of Valor

Sep 18 2010

Quilt of Valor by Barbara File

Quilt of Valor by Barbara File

Barbara File hopes it is still possible to recover her Quilt of Valor quilt. It was shipped on July 6, 2010 from Little Egg Harbor, New Jersey. It was received by a transfer station in Pennsylvania and sent out to Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, but the tracking was never updated. Many calls were made before she was told it was in a fire, but now no one knows anything about a fire on a truck. Barbara wonders if it has been stolen.

This is a large, lap-size quilt. It has a red border, blue sashing, yellow cornerstones. The blocks are red and blue Churn Dash. She used a fabric with red and blue stars on white for the background. It has a label on a lower corner with Barbara’s name.

If you’re able to help, please contact Barbara at tobylehnj@juno.com.
