Valerie Funk hopes someone has seen this original quilt which she gave to her friend, Veneta Benton. Veneta was moving across the hall into a new apartment when someone walked into her home and stole the quilt. It has never been seen again. It was last seen in 2012 in Terre Haute, Indiana.

This is quilt is roughly the size of a crib quilt, although the exact dimensions are not known. The main colors are pink, purple, greens, browns, orange, and yellow. Valerie used raw edge applique for the tree and leaves, the sun, and the rolling hillsides, and it is free motion quilted. She finished the quilt in 2010. She does not remember if it has a label or not.

Valerie writes, “This quilt was the quilt I chose to use as the cover photo for my first book. It has a dear sentimental value to me as I had given to the lady that helped care for my father before he passed away.”
