Recovered!
Kennedy Quilt
Ann Drake was asking for help recovering a 50th anniversary quilt she made for Norman and Wilma Kennedy. The quilt was last seen in Fresno, California on September 23, 2009 when their home was broken into.
Thankfully, the quilt has now been found. Her parents had put the quilt away some time ago. When the break-in occured, they could not find the quilt and so they assumed it had been taken along with some jewelry. Later, Ann's father couldn't sleep one night and remembered putting it in a different closet.
This queen size quilt features 8-pointed star blocks. It has royal blue sashing strips, white background, and multicolored stars. Each star has a signature in the center. These include wishes from people who helped celebrate their 50th anniversary. The center block has a photo of the Kennedys on their wedding day. This quilt is machine pieced and hand quilted. It was made in 1997. It has a label hand-stitched to the back which says, "Happy 50th anniversary. Norman and Wilma Kennedy. March 23, 1997. Made by Ann Drake."
