Rebecca Dakan would like to recover a 30" square quilt that she made in 1990. It was last seen during July 1995 in Santa Cruz, California. It was tacked to the wall when their house was for sale. One day it was removed from the wall and stolen.
This quilt has a center panel with sixteen hearts (four across and four down). The hearts are in dark reds, navy blues, and tan. Their is a small border in tan dots on red, and a slightly larger border of navy blue with little ivory stylized flowers, and another larger border in dark red with an ivory diagonal design. The final border is more hearts which formed the selvage of the original fabric. Rebecca pieced them together to form a full border on all sides. This was the first quilt that Rebecca hand quilted.
Please contact Rebecca at rdakan@pacbell.net if you have found this quilt.

Morgaine McKibben is hoping to recover a quilt that was made for her by Anne (A.E.) Silas. The quilt was last seen around 2005 in Santa Cruz, California in a house on Padgett Street. It was in a hallway closet and apparently a roommate or house guest took it.
The beloved pink and black sea life quilt fits a twin bed. The pink “sea” and fish are lighter at the top and the colors are darker at the bottom. The fish and sea life were pink and black prints. The quilt is inscribed in permanent ink on the front, lower right corner with “To Morgaine, Love from Anne.”
This quilt is well worn because Morgaine received it as a child, and she misses it very much. If you found it or bought it at a second store, please contact Loretta at evilmacqueen@gmail.com.
