It was in my sewing room the whole time, and I am too happy to be embarrassed!! Praise the Lord. I am going to name the quilt ‘Amazing Grace’ as it ‘was lost, but now is found.’” We rejoice with her!

Recovered! A Quilt for David…Girls are Afraid of Spiders

Dec 29 2011

Girls are Afraid of Spiders by Jan CunninghamJan Cunningham was hoping someone might know the whereabouts of a quilt she made for her grandson’s college dorm room. The quilt was made in 1999 and was last seen in early 2000 in a dorm room at Oxford College in Conyers, Georgia.

A week after the quilt was posted on this website, the strangest thing happened. She got a phone call from a couple who live in Florida, but keep a second home in Georgia. When they went to get out their blankets this year, they found a quilt wrapped in plastic that they had bought at a yard sale a year or so ago. When they unfolded it, they noticed the label with Jan’s name and phone number, so they called her right after Christmas. So now, after being missing for ten years, Jan’s quilt has returned home! It had been washed and was smokey, but otherwise the quilt was in good shape.

Jan called her original design, “A Quilt for David…Girls are Afraid of Spiders.” She made it to keep the girls off her grandson’s bed at college. It is labled with the quilt’s title and a scripture verse.

Girls are Afraid of Spiders (label) by Jan CunninghamThe quilt is about 70″ by 80″. It is a strip pieced quilt with a LeMoyne Star setting. The main colors are navy, burgundy and gold. A large gold colored star features a large stuffed black spider with long embroidered legs along with the words, “Girls are afraid of spiders” embroidered around the spider. The backing of the quilt is a fireworks designed fabric in navy and burgundy with white fireworks.

Recovered! Lone Star Pennsylvania Dutch Quilt

Dec 10 2011

Teresa Fusco’s Lone Star Pennsylvania Dutch Quilt was last seen on September 3, 2011 at the Waterfront Restaurant in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It became missing when the Conestoga River overflowed 41 feet and covered the restaurant, destroying everything. The quilt disappeared along with numerous oil paintings by other artists. It could not be found when all of the debris was removed, so Teresa believed it was swept away by the waters.

In December 2011 Teresa wrote, “My quilt has been found! My daughter went to work on opening day about 6 weeks after the flood, when she walked into The Waterfront Restaurant… she saw my quilt sitting clean and folded on the bar. How happy that someone found the quilt in the river, cleaned it and returned the quilt to the restaurant. It was well marked because it was hanging in the restaurant for sale.”
