Ellen had travelled to Wintersprings, Florida with a suitcase containing her fiber art. She remembers showing these quilts, along with many others, to the quilt guild president on May 9, 2002. She left her packed suitcase at the home she was staying at while she went out with some of the guild members. When they returned, the teenage daughter of the homeowner was showing the quilts to five or six of her friends. Ellen did not watch while the quilts were repacked. Instead she went to bed and left early the next morning to catch a plane. She left the suitcase packed in a locked location until she needed to bring it with her to a show in Edmonton, Canada on May 21. At her class the next morning, the students unpacked the quilts and put them up on the wall. Not all of the quilts would fit up on the walls, so Ellen didn't realize until the following morning that these four quilts and the jacket were missing.
All of these quilts are original designs and are heavily machine embroidered. For more information about Ellen's artwork, you can visit her website at http://www.ellenanneeddy.com.
Ellen adds, "If these pieces are found and returned, there is a reward and no questions asked." If you can help recover any of these pieces, please contact Ellen at [email protected].
