Giraffe and Animals by Robin Hansen
Robin Hansen Buchholz hopes to find a quilt that has been missing since Spring 1993. It was last seen at Tillamook Junior High School during a show-and-tell session. Her daughter brought it to her eighth grade class for a report on pioneers. She took an antique crazy quilt throw, an example of an Hawaiian quilt square in blue and white, an appliqud quilt top of a dinosaur sitting on an egg, and an embroidered quilt wall hanging we called my “Giraffe Quilt”. This was a quilt that I had dreamed of doing. I woke up one night about 2am in the mid-1980’s, after seeing this quilt in a dream. It would use up all the whimsical patterns from cards that my boyfriend in high school had sent me when I was laid up from a bike accident. It had a large giraffe in the middle, surrounded by animals and flowers all embroidered mostly in satin stitch. It had the first lines from “All things bright and beautiful!” poem on the quilt.
Please contact Robin at smakagemor@yahoo.com if you have this quilt.
