Family Baby Clothes Quilt
Pam Burkland made a queen-sized quilt for her daughter using fabric from her children�s baby and toddler clothes which she had carefully saved for years. The backing is navy with tiny white hearts. The backing wraps around to the from and is piped in kelly green. The quilt was being hand quilted in kelly green. The blocks were no specific pattern except for an x-shape in the center using a bright green with pink and yellow medium sized flowers. This same fabric was used as a block in each corner of the quilt. On the edges, Pam had used a sunny golden block and she embroidered "To Ingrid", the date, and "Love, Mom."
The quilt was either stolen out of a storage space in Mountain View, California in 1994-1995 or out of a storage space in Portland, Oregon in 1995-1996. In Portland, it is possible that it was misplaced during the move of the household out of the storage space and down several floors to the truck.
Pam says, "I have been heart-broken over this loss and so is my daughter. I am planning to make another quilt for her but it can never replace the one with all their baby clothes fabrics in it."
Can anyone help Pam find this quilt? Please contact her at [email protected] or [email protected] if you have any information you can give her.
