Grandma Flower Garden

Jan 27 2012

Alice Kennedy hopes to recover a quilt that was made by her grandmother, Etta Shaw. In January 2009, she gave it to a quilter who does longarm and hand quilting as a business in Garden Grove, California. At the time the quilter said it would take three to four months to finish. Alice was willing to give her extra time and stayed in contact with her until sometime in 2010 when she was unable to reach her by phone or email.

Alice’s quiilt top is about double or queen size. The blocks are vintage fabrics from the 30′s and 40′s and the background is muslin. The blocks are hand pieced.

If you are able to help Alice recover this quilt, please contact her at audiewee@earthlink.net.

Southern Trails and Stars

May 20 2011

Southern Trails and StarsMembers of Southern Stars Quilt Guild, Hollywood, Florida are hoping to recover the quilt top they made as a raffle quilt. The quilt top was last seen on November 15, 2010 when it was given to a local long-arm quilter. She resigned from the guild shortly after taking possession of the quilt top and now refuses to take their phone calls or respond to mail.

This quilt top is 93″ by 93″. It uses a variety of white-on-white fabrics and a wide range of blues. It is machine pieced. Since it was just a quilt top the last time they saw it, there was no label attached.

Wedding Ring Quilt

Mar 30 2011

Bernita Parker hopes someone has found her missing quilt. It is a wedding ring quilt, larger than full size, but not as big as queen size. It is off-white with some red and some shirt fabrics. The quilt was made in 1955 by her grandmother, Sallie Mae Lewis. Her grandmother’s name is written in a upper corner. Her grandmother gave it to her for her twelfth birthday. The last time Bernita saw the quilt was when she moved from Eminence, Missouri to Effingham, Illinois in 1998. She thinks it may have blown out of the truck during the move.

If you’ve found this quilt, please contact Bernita at bernitaparker@yahoo.com.
