Fiona (Gondek) Murray is searching for a Country Bride Quilt made for the wedding of her best friend, Sherri Andrews. The quilt was last seen in Port Washington, Long Island, New York. Her friend was living in an apartment with her husband when they broke up. Both left the apartment in a hurry and neither remember taking the quilt, nor can they find it. Sherri’s brother, who was the last to leave the aprtment, said there was nothing left behind. Fiona is hoping it may have been donated somewhere, and someone may have purchased it.
This quilt is queen size, approximately 88″ by 108″ It features pink hearts and doves, green leaves and stems on a muslin background. It is hand appliqued. The vines and birds’ eyes are embroidered. It was made in 1996. It has a label written to Sherri and her husband, David Mroczka.
Fiona writes, “I hope someone has found it and lets me know. It took me three years to make the quilt and it feels like I have lost a loved one. I wonder where the quilt is and if it is being cared for.” If you’ve found this quilt, please contact Fiona at fmquilter@gmail.com.
Please be on the lookout for Sally Schneider’s “Farmer’s Daughter” quilt. It was last seen on January 26, 2012 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was being shipped to Martingale & Company, home of That Patchwork Place. It was to be included in her book that will be published in January 2013.
