Memories Of A Child by Annita Dias

On July 12, 2010, Annita Dias posted a quilt from Paraburdoo, Western Australia to Dubai. It was made for her niece who has autism. The quilt never arrived. The post office said that once it left the country they could not track it.

This is a queen size quilt which Annita named “Memories of a Child.” It features a Sunbonnet Sue blocks. The background is plain and the colored blocks have green and pink borders. The pink border is the “pink breast cancer fabric.” This quilt is machine pieced, machine and fused appliqued, and machine quilted. There is also some embroidery on it. The label says something like “Memories of a Child / My Darling Tanya / from your loving Aunty Buddu.”

Annita writes, “If some one has or has seen this quilt please return it. I made this quilt for my niece who has severe autism. It has drained me emotionally as i took a lot of time and effort in making it especially for my niece Tanya.”

If you find this quilt, please contact Annita at diacdias@bigpond.net.au.

Jason’s Quilt

Jason's Quilt

Jason's Quilt

Ronda Covey hopes that someone found the quilt that her mother, Barbara (AKA Granny B), made for her son, Jason. The quilt was last seen in 1999 on I-70 between Colby, Kansas and Hays, Kansas. They were traveling along I-70 when the bag that the quilt was in was sucked out of the bed of their pickup truck when a semi passed them. The normally four-lane, divided highway was down to two lanes on the east-bound side, so by the time they were able to turn around and go look for it, they couldn’t find it. They couldn’t stop immediately because of road construction. This quilt was very important to Jason and he was devastated.

This is a king-size quilt. It has forest green strips around the nine-patch blocks. There are four large squares in the middle that Barbara called “Overall Sam” or it may be called “Suspender Sam.” They were made from Ronda’s grandfather’s overalls. The quilt is machine pieced and tied. Along one side, Barbara machine embroidered “Jason – Granny B 1998.” There is also a red heart embroidered on it.

If you’ve seen a quilt that fits this description, please contact Ronda at dee_dee2259@yahoo.com.

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 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.
