Mona Lisa
Susan Raymond is hoping to recover two quilts that were lost during a move. They were last seen when the quilts were packed in June 2008 in Phoenix, Arizona. Two other families also had belongings on the truck, and were moving to Washington state. To date, the moving company still hasn't been able to locate the missing quilts.
This king size quilt was made between 1987 and 1994. It is hand painted. The central portion is based on the famous Mona Lisa painting. The blocks are hand painted and the border blocks are pieced. There are six Tree of Life blocks and 12 Islamic Puzzle blocks in the corners. This quilt is hand pieced and hand quilted. The main colors are greens and browns.
The second quilt (not pictured) is based on Edvard Munch's "Scream" painting. It is a small wall hanging which is also hand painted, hand pieced, and hand quilted. The borders are pieced.
Susan writes, "This quilt has many emotional ties to my family, as the piecing and quilting were done during significant events. I am willing to offer a reward for the return of this quilt." If you can help in the recovery of this quilt, please contact Susan at [email protected].
