Lover's Knot Quilt Lost in Tornado

In May 1999, Oklahoma City was hit by a violent tornado with winds up to 320 miles per hour. This Lover's Knot quilt was lost in that tornado.

Diane Boisvert made this quilt for her brother and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Coffey. It was made in September 1998 . She used Eleanor Burns' Quilt in a Day Lover's Knot book. Diane chose the range of pink and green fabrics shown below. It was hand and machine quilted.

In March 2002, Diane reported that the lost quilt has been recovered! Her brother was going through a box that contained a variety of items found after the tornado and the quilt was at the bottom of the box.
