Green Embroidered Quilt by Christine Hindle
Christine Hindle is hoping to find the green embroidered quilt she made in 1968 when she was a teenager. She last saw it in 1974 when she sold it because she was stranded and in need of funds. She is hoping to buy it back from the woman’s descendents, if she can locate them. The quilt was sold in Rhode Island. Christine hopes it might still be there since many families have lived there for generations.
This is a full-size quilt made of embroidered blocks set with 1930′s style solid green fabric and hand quilted. The blocks are white with rust, apricot, brown and light green embroidery. If it is labeled, it should have the name “Ingerson” on it.

Sailor Son by Vicki Crawford
Vicki Crawford made a very special quilt for her son, Philip Crawford. In November 2003 she mailed it to him. It was delivered outside of his apartment in Visalia, California. Someone (a stranger) signed the recipient’s name for the box, which also contained some household items. Philip went door to door questioning the residents. The police were contacted. The local newspaper even wrote an article about the theft and printed a picture of the quilt, but it was never recovered. Sortly afterwards, Philip was relocated by the Navy. However, this quilt has enormous sentimental value, and the family still hopes it will be returned.
This 68″ by 80″ quilt was adapted from the “Random Stars” pattern from Celebrate the Seasons with Quilts. It has a variety of 3″ to 12″ stars. The main colors are red, white, blue, and tan. All of the stars are made of patriotic fabrics on tan muslin background. It is embellished with four Navy patches: Top Gun, Navy Symbol, Oceana VA, and NAS Pensacola. On the label, Vicki wrote an original poem to her son about his naval service.
