Jana’s Special

Jan 29 2011

Shara-Dee Seiter hopes some one has found a pink and white, twin size quilt that she made for Jana. She last saw it in Phoenix, Arizona. It was possibly lost during her family’s move to Tempe, Arizona in 1982 or maybe shortly after that.

The quilt was made with pink gingham and there was hand quilting across the top that said something like, “Sleep tight.” Every square on the quilt depicted something of Jana’s young life: her family, school, church, etc. Every square was hand appliqued and embroidered. It may have also had Jana’s name on the quilt.

Shara-Dee writes, “It’d be a miracle to recover this long-lost treasure, but there’s always hope :)” If you’ve seen this quilt, please contact Shara-Dee at shara-dee@cox.net.

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.”

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.

Recovered! Charming Circles

Jun 03 2010

Charming Circles by Kimberly Einmo

Charming Circles by Kimberly Einmo

In January 2010, Kimberly Einmo had reported that her quilt, "Charming Circles," was stolen. It was one of several quilts that were passed around at the Scrap and Sew Open House Event in Lutz, Florida. There were about fifty people in attendance and the store did not have security cameras, so there is no way to know who might have taken it.

On June 3, 2010, Kimberly wrote,"I’m very happy to report that Charming Circles has been RETURNED to me! I promised amnesty — no questions asked — if whoever took my quilt would return it. The quilt was returned to me last week and I promised I would not give the details other than to say it may have been an honest mistake that the quilt was taken in the first place. The bottom line, I am thrilled that the individual did the right thing and returned the quilt to me. Happy ending!"

This quilt is featured in her new book, "Jelly Roll Quilts & More." It is an original design of arc blocks set in horizontal rows and rotated to create circles. It is 22" square. Kimberly used modern, bright colors including the Woodland Bloom fabric line by Lila Tueller.
