Disciples of Christ Banner by Jenny Gallo
In November 2011, Jenny emailed to say the quilt had been recovered!
The main colors of this banner are green, blue, red, and gold with a white border. It has a label that says “Carrot Top Studio.” The label is stitched into a seam, probably along the top edge on the back.

The last bar code scan of the package was made in Las Cruces, New Mexico. FedEx is suggesting she file a claim.
This origial quilt is 15″ square. It has a black background combined with purple, lavender, gold, orange, and lime green fabrics. It is a miniature art quilt, abstract design, with various sized overlapping and interwoven circles and bars. It is machine appliqued and machine quilted with rayon thread.

Crazy Patch Quilt owned by Muriel Fitzgerald Jones
Muriel believes this quilt top was made between 1900-1940 by her maternal grandmother and her family. It is a double size quilt top made mostly of fancy dress fabric scraps, including silk-like and velvets. She recognizes a few scraps from dresses her grandmother wore. The tops of the seams around each fabric were hand embroidered with a feather stitch in gold-colored embroidery floss.
Muriel grew up playing under a quilt frame in their Pennsylvania Dutch community. Naturally this quilt top has enormous sentimental value. If you are able to help locate this quilt top, please contact Muriel at mfjpsy@charter.net.

Asian Elementals by Stephanie Vesik
Stephanie used four Kona Bay Emperor panels which she machine quilted and bound with black cotton. Each panel is hand embroidered to emphasize the gold foil highlights. Each panel is individually quilted to represent fire, air, earth, and wind with a Japanese symbol in the top banner’s binding. Each panel is held to one another by means of Velcro bridges. This was done so the quilt could be displayed either as a traditional two by two panel quilt or as a banner with four across. Each panel has two loops at the top for hanging. Stephanie labeled each panel on the back with black ink. It says, "To Grim (heart symbol) Steph."

Love, Lorrain
Kiki Zusan is searching for a quilt that she made for Lorraine Zusan. The quilt was last seen in March 2009 at Cerenity Care Center – Marian Care Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota. They assume it was lost, possibly in the laundry.
This is a lap-size quilt. Kiki used a commercial pattern which is a modification of "Sailing Flags" which is a modified "Lazy Log Cabin" design. The quilt is hand pieced and machine quilted with a star pattern. It was made in 2001 from her mother’s leftover scrapps. Some fabric is a herringbone-type design using white, yellows, and golds. Another is an aqua-colored background with mice. One is a red calico with small flowers. The five top fabrics in the picture to the left were used on the front of the quilt. The back is white with small geometric designs as seen in the bottom of the picture to the left. There is a label on the back that says, "Love, Lorraine" and "Hand pieced by Kiki Zusan Christmas 2001."

Compass Star by Nancy Goldsworthy

The quilt, made in 2007, is machine pieced and machine quilted. It has a label which is hand appliqued to the lower corner that says, “Made by Nancy Goldsworthy, Portland, Oregon, for my mother Irene Stephens. Happy Mother’s Day.”
