Beatrix Potter Baby Quilt
Priscilla Wilbur still misses the Beatrix Potter baby quilt that was inside a piece of luggage that was stolen from the Seattle-Tacoma airport in November 1985. She holds onto the slim hope that this quilt is still out there somewhere.
The crib-size quilt was made for her daughter. She embroidered each square with a Beatrix Potter character including Jeremy Fisher, Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddleduck, Benjamin Bunny, the Two Bad Mice, Mrs. Tiggy Winkle, as well as others. The quilt is a tufted quilt with alternating squares of baby pink and triangles of blue rosebud calico. This was the first quilt she had ever made.
