Jackie Briggs wonders if anyone found her long-lost quilt. It was made by her grandmother or possibly great-grandmother. She last saw it in 1981 in Colorado. It was left in a chest which her father had made. There was a burlap covering, and other momentos were in the chest including items from her wedding and an old camera. It was left behind at a friend’s house when she had to move, but they do not remember what happened to the chest.
The quilt is tan on one side and brown on the other. Autumn-colored leaves are on the tan side. It is approximately full-size. It is hand stitched with a diamond pattern and the year 1937 or possibly 1837 is embroidered in a corner with the name. It had won a blue ribbon in the LA Fair.

Virginia Baeten hopes to recover her missing patchwork pillow. It was last seen in the 1970s in a grocery store parking lot on Wisconsin Avenue, Appleton, Wisconsin. She and her husband were transporting parts for her husband’s job, and they were in a very uncomfortable truck. Virginia was using the pillow as back support. She thinks it must have fallen out of the truck when they stopped, or it is possible it was stolen. It was missing five or ten minutes before they noticed it was gone. They reported it to the store and left their name and phone number, but never got a called.
The pillow is about 9 to 12-inches square. The main colors are rust, cream, and brown. She remembers there were half square triangles forming the design. It was hand pieced and hand quilted with beige thread, and sewn together on the edges by machine. The backing was probably brown or rust.
Virginia writes, "This was my first quilt project that I made while taking a quilting class in Kimberly WI. I now teach quilting and would love to have my first project back." If you have this pillow, please contact Virginia at vbaeten@charter.net.
The pillow was hand pieced and hand quilted with beige thread and sewn together on the edges by machine. Backing was probably brown or rust.
