Emma Jean Jansen is asking for help in locating her two missing quilts. These two quilts were last seen in October 2013 in Houston, Texas, right after it was displayed at quilt market. They were in a suitcase along with several other quilts. The suitcase never arrived in Los Angeles, California. She was booked for an international flight the next day, but the airlines never found her suitcase.
One of the missing quilts is “9 Birds,” an original design that is 60″ (152 cm) square. The main colors are orange and turquoise. All of the fabrics are from Emma Jean’s first fabric line for Ella Blue “Terra Australis.” This quilt is machine pieced and machine quilted. The backing is birch colored linen. This quilt is labeled on the back with Emma Jean’s name.
Another quilt that is missing is “Waratah Pink.” This quilt is 82″ (209 cm) square. The main colors are pink and teal. This quilt is also made from Emma Jean’s fabric line. It also has a label on the back with Emma Jean’s name, date made, and her logo, an 8-pointed star in rainbow colors.
If you find this quilt, you can contact Emma Jean through Leonie Shaw at leonieanddavid@yahoo.com or through Ella Blue Fabrics at info@ellabluefabrics.com.
