Blue Ash
"Blue Ash" is an original quilt by Lorraine Roy. This quilt was last seen on January 9, 2004 at Fanshawe College Math Learning Centre, London, Ontario, Canada. It was stolen while hanging in a locked room sometime during the weekend of January 10-11.
This quilt is 41" by 22". The main colors are blue and dark red with some gold. The fabric was made entirely of small fabric cuttings, collaged, and stitched under transparent netting. It has a machine embroidered label on the sleeve on the back. It also has Lorraine's machine embroidered signature (LRoy) at the bottom and the Latin name of Blue Ash, Fraxinus quadrangulata.
Since the theft, Lorraine has made a second quilt very similar to this one. The new version, not to be confused with the stolen quilt, is in the collection of a lawyer in Toronto, Ontario.
If you have any information regarding this quilt, please contact Lorraine through the Lost Quilt Come Home Page.
