Ohio Rose Miniature Quilt

Ohio Rose by Debbie Miller

Ohio Rose by Debbie Miller

Please be on the look out for this miniature Ohio Rose Quilt which was stolen from Kalona Kountry Kreations in Kalona, Iowa. Debbie Miller had the quilt on display at this quilt store and it was for sale. One morning in 1995 two ladies came in the store and the quilt was taken down from the wall so they could look at it up close. After they were finished the quilt was put back up on the wall. Later in the day it was discovered that the quilt was missing.

This cream, green and burgundy quilt is 18″ by 18&quot. Fabrics used are shown below. Debbie used a pattern published by Needleart Guild of Grand Rapids, Michigan. She followed the pattern for the quilting blocks but when she got to the border she changed the quilting pattern. It is hand appliqued, machine pieced and hand quilted. Debbie doesn’t remember if she wrote her name on the back.

If you can help, please contact Debbie at grandrose55@lcom.net.
