Denim Quilt Stolen From Car
"Nailhead" is looking for a denim quilt that she made as her children were growing up. It was stolen from her husband's car on Christmas Eve 1999. The car was parked outside the Holiday Inn in Hastings, Nebraska.
This denim quilt is very large; large enough to cover a king-size bed and have the ends touch the floor. "Nailhead" estimates it is approximately 144" by 120". There are various sizes of patches, all made from denim blue jeans. Towards the center of the quilt there are two large patches of thin, dark denim, each about the same size. These were the first two patches and over the years more were added as her children outgrew their jeans. Near the center of the quilt there is some embroidery. The back of the quilt is a cotton/poly blend. It is brown with small navy blue rectangle bars placed in a square. The quilt was tied with yarn and some of the ties were beginning to break when the quilt was stolen.
She writes, "This quilt was to be a family treasure. Now I have a grandson and would treasure using the quilt for family outings with him."
Can you help find this quilt? If so, please contact "Nailhead" at [email protected].
