Flowers in the Cabin displayed at the MQS show

Flowers In The Cabin

This quilt, Flowers in the Cabin, was lost by UPS in June 1999 during the return shipment after being displayed in the MQS (Machine Quilters Showcase) show in Springfield, Illinois on June 9-12, 1999.

The top was pieced by Kristi Sims-Kirkegard and it was machine quilted by Shirley Sims. It is 71" by 82". Kristi made this quilt for her dad for Christmas. The quilt pattern was inspired by the book "More Quick Rotary Cut Quilts" by Pan Bono. Notice the distinctive backing and label.

This quilt is the victim of a suspected theft. Though UPS has compensated Shirley monetarily, needless to say, she is very upset and would much rather have the quilt safely returned. She has offered a reward for the return of the quilt, no questions asked. If you have any information on this quilt, please contact Shirley Sims at [email protected].

Posted August 31, 1999.
