Marijke Vroomen Durning wanted to find Jennifer’s Hug Quilt which she made for Jennifer Gregory. It was last seen on June 15, 2015. It went missing during shipment from Montreal, Quebec to Wake Forest, North Carolina. The tracking information says the package was delivered on June 18th, but the recipient never received it and none of her neighbors received it in error.
On September 13, Marieke received the wonderful news that the quilt has been found! Apparently someone in the recipient’s family saw the box (which a reused box from coffee pods) and they thought that was what the box contained, so they stored it in the pantry. Just this morning, the quilt recipient went to open a box of new coffee pods…. and found the quilt.
This quilt is 40″ by 50″. The main colors are purple, green, blue, and off-white. Marieke used batiks. The off-white pieces have signatures and well-wishes. The backing fabric is of the Norther Lights. This quilt was machine pieced and machine quilted in 2016. It has a label on one of the corner signature squares that says, “For Jennifer Gregory” along with “Montreal, Quebec, May (or June) 2016.”
Thank you for spending the time to allow us to search for missing quilts. Although it turned that our quilt wasn’t missing, just hiding, you never know who may see something and be able to return a loved piec of art.
I agree! So glad yours had a happy ending!
