On or around November 23, 2011, C. Diane Thomas shipped a quilt from Columbia Falls, Montana to Waterford, Wisconsin. The shipping company says they delivered the package, but it never arrived. They are supposted to be looking into the situation, but have found nothing.
The quilt was intended as a gift to Anthony Hoffman. It is approximately 110″ by 120″. The main colors are black and white with a red and “snakeskin” checkerboard border which separates the central motif from the outer border. She used Alexander Henry’s “Born to Ride” fabric #1584, which depicts skeletons wearing leathers and riding motorcycles. She appliqued with red thread and has a curled up snake in the center of the quilt.
The quilt is machine pieced, machine appliqued, and machine quilted. It was finished in November 2011 just before she sent it off. The quilt has a 1/2″ strip label sewn into the binding on the reverse side near a corner. The label says something close to, “Made for Anthony Thomas Hoffman, Milw. Wis. from Uncle Anthony and Aunt Diane Thomas, Columbia Falls, MT.”
