Marica Odom is hoping to recover her pastel sampler quilt. In December 2006 she brought the pieced top, backing and batting to a quilt shop so it could be quilted. The quilter went out of the room to get change for a customer and when she returned the quilt materials were missing. The customer was not contacted because they were a new customer.

This machine pieced quilt is approximately 60″ by 72″. The blocks used include Rail Fence, Double Nine Patch, Shoo Fly, Monkey Wrench, Jacob’s Ladder, Ohio Star, Card Trick, Lily, Star in a Star, Wedding Ring, Bear’s Paw, and Drunkard’s Path. The main colors are pastel pink, blue, green, and lavendar, shown in the fabric swatch to the left. It has a yellow border.

Lorraine M. Kalisz hopes to recover a raffle quilt she made for a fundraiser for the C.T. Plunkett Elementary School Library of Adams, Massachussetts. It was last seen on September 13, 2005 at Tala’s Quilt Shop, Heritage Park, North Adams, Massachussetts. It was on display on a quilt rack in order to sell raffle tickets. Some time between September 13 and 14 someone entered the shop after hours and stole the quilt. No other quilt was missing and no money was taken. A police report was filed but it was never recovered. The quilt shop made a replacement quilt for the raffle.

This is a queen size quilt, approximately 84″ by 96″. The main colors are rich reds, blues, blacks and neutrals. Most of the fabrics are reproduction Civil War prints. Thirty different prints were used (shown below). Lorraine used a quilt pattern called Nite-Nite by U Can 2, Quick and Easy Quilts by Eileen Sullivan. It was finished in December 2004 and there is no label.

If you see this quilt, please contact Lorraine through the Lost Quilt Come Home Page.
