Sailor Son

Dec 05 2006

Sailor Son by Vicki Crawford

Sailor Son by Vicki Crawford

Vicki Crawford made a very special quilt for her son, Philip Crawford. In November 2003 she mailed it to him. It was delivered outside of his apartment in Visalia, California. Someone (a stranger) signed the recipient’s name for the box, which also contained some household items. Philip went door to door questioning the residents. The police were contacted. The local newspaper even wrote an article about the theft and printed a picture of the quilt, but it was never recovered. Sortly afterwards, Philip was relocated by the Navy. However, this quilt has enormous sentimental value, and the family still hopes it will be returned.

This 68″ by 80″ quilt was adapted from the “Random Stars” pattern from Celebrate the Seasons with Quilts. It has a variety of 3″ to 12″ stars. The main colors are red, white, blue, and tan. All of the stars are made of patriotic fabrics on tan muslin background. It is embellished with four Navy patches: Top Gun, Navy Symbol, Oceana VA, and NAS Pensacola. On the label, Vicki wrote an original poem to her son about his naval service.

Bull Dozer Orphans

Aug 04 2006

Bull Dozer Orphans by Marie Taverna

Bull Dozer Orphans by Marie Taverna

This original quilt was last seen on May 23, 2006. The blocks were designed by Helga Curtis and the quilt was made by Marie Taverna. Marie had given it to Helga so it could be used in a lecture and photographed for a book Helga is writing. Helga placed the bag with the quilt in her car after a quilt class. On May 24 she stopped at Second Glace Thrift Store in Brooksville, Florida to drop off a donation of clothes. On May 25 she discovered that she accidentally dropped off the bag containing the quilt instead of the bag containing the clothes. She immediately went to the thrift store and waited for them to open, but she was told the quilt sold for only $50 right after she dropped it off. Helga went to the local newspaper and had a front page story printed asking for the person who bought it to please return it, but no one ever came forward.

Marie writes, “Only another quilter or quilt lover would understand why I would like it back. It was meant to hang on a wall in my home. I would also like to ease Helga’s mind about this error so she can stop blaming herself. I appreciate this opportunity to have the quilt community help locate this for me and Helga.”

This quilt is about 54″ by 68″ and was made in 2005. The main colors are browns, blues, and greens. Bark fabrics were used for the trees, sky fabrics were used for some backgrounds. It is hand appliqued and hand quilted. Marie did a three-dimensional affect on the owl’s head and the bunny’s tail. She also used cotton ribbon for waters foam. It is labeled on the back with both Helga’s and Marie’s names. The handing sleeve was not yet sewn on.

If you have any information about this quilt, please contact Marie through the Lost Quilt Come Home Page.
