Jo Palmer is searching for a Mariner’s Compass quilt. Ian said his grandmother borrowed the quilt in the summer of 2009 to put it in a quilt contest. The contest was at First Southern Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas. She became ill and didn’t get it picked up. She died in November 2010. Jo didn’t realize it was missing until Ian asked if she found it in her house when she was taking care of her affairs.

The full size quilt was made by Ian Edwards and Charlene Brown. The main colors are grey/black. The compass is burgundy, light yellow, and blue. It is machine pieced and hand quilted. It was made around 1988 or 1989. There is a label on the back that is a small version of the compass. The label says, “To Ian Edwards from Grandmother Brown” and it has a Bible verse. The label was had appliquéd to the quilt in a lower corner.

If you find this quilt, please contact Jo at jopalmer6@gmail.com.
