On May 22, 2011 a tornado ripped through Joplin, Missouri. In the process, this quilt was torn off Cheryl Parker’s master bedroom wall and the house was completely destroyed.
The quilt was made by Cheryl’s mother-in-law, Judy Parker. It is king size. The main colors are green and yellow with Kansas sunflowers. It was made using a partial pattern by Kansas Troubles, which features a cream background with appliqued sunflowers arranged assymetrically to the left. The top horizontal row contains six West Wind blocks with a 2-1/2″ sashing underneath. Below this row there are vertical columns of Windmill, Rail Fence, the Kansas Troubles panel, Kansas Dugout, and Sunflower blocks. At the bottom is another group of blocks surrounded by Sunflowers and Roosters on a blue background with sunflowers. The quilt is machine pieced and machine appliqued. It was made for Christmas 2007. There is no label attached to this quilt.
Judy writes, “PLEASE, PLEASE search for this quilt. My DIL is very sad to have lost this quilt. It means so much to her. The quilt, since it was hanging on a wall, probably caught the wind and became a ‘magic rug’! It could be found anywhere from their home in Joplin towards Springfield, MO as the tornados took things that far in the ‘debris cloud’.”
If you find this quilt, please contact Judy at jjparker3@comcast.net.
