Teresa Fusco’s Lone Star Pennsylvania Dutch Quilt was last seen on September 3, 2011 at the Waterfront Restaurant in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It became missing when the Conestoga River overflowed 41 feet and covered the restaurant, destroying everything. The quilt disappeared along with numerous oil paintings by other artists. It could not be found when all of the debris was removed, so Teresa believed it was swept away by the waters.

In December 2011 Teresa wrote, “My quilt has been found! My daughter went to work on opening day about 6 weeks after the flood, when she walked into The Waterfront Restaurant… she saw my quilt sitting clean and folded on the bar. How happy that someone found the quilt in the river, cleaned it and returned the quilt to the restaurant. It was well marked because it was hanging in the restaurant for sale.”
