Fall Leaves Quilt
Mikki Fulcher would like to recover a quilt that was made by her mother, Glady M. Horton. The full-size quilt is made in fall colors like orange, gold, brown and burgundy on a white background. The quilt was made from a pre-stamped kit that had leaves, vines and branches appliqued all over it. The backing is bright orange satin. It was hand appliqued and hand quilted in 1968 for Mikki's graduation.
The quilt was lost around 1990 when her husband used it as a moving pad. They were moving an organ from Mikki's aunt's house in Seattle. The quilt may have been left in Seattle or it may have blown off during the trip or it may have been taken out of the back of the truck.
Mikki says, "Let this be a lesson on Labeling...hard learned." If you have found this quilt, please contact Mikki at [email protected].
