Maple Leaf Quilt
Sue Pelletier of Oakland, Maine is looking for her a king-size Maple Leaf quilt.
This quilt was made from a maple leaf pattern that was featured in a lady�s magazine many years ago. All the leaves were appliqu�d on with a machine feather stitch, probably with black thread. There were many different fabrics used including World War II cottons and 1950�s shirting material. The sashing was maroon, possibly not even 100% cotton. Each block was quilted separately by machine and the pack pieces were whip-stitched together.
She had lent this quilt to her brother-in-law. When he died in 1994, Sue�s sister sold the quilt at a yard sale in Orrington, Maine.
The quilt is labeled either with "S C Pelletier", "Susan C. Pelletier", or "Sue Pelletier". The dates when she started and finished, sometime during the 1980�s, were also on the label.
Sue would really like to get this quilt back. She is willing to reimburse whoever bought this quilt. If you know anything about this quilt, please contact Diana at [email protected].
