Monica McGregor Quilts
Monica McGregor is searching for three quilts which were on loan to Blue Ridge Books and Artworks, Blue Ridge, Georgia. Monica was not notified when the quilts were shipped back to her, so she was not aware when they were not delivered. Recently she asked the gallery owner about them and was informed they were shipped via UPS in November 2000. Apparently the package was either stolen off her front doorstep or was lost in transit between Blue Ridge, Georgia and Ojai, California.
"Mountains" is an original design that Monica made in 1999. It is 31.5" by 27.25". The main colors are black, white, light blue, biege, brown, orange and yellow. It is made with overdyed garment fabrics, stripes and mottled hand-dyes. It is machine pieced and machine quilted. Monica wrote her name, the year and "Ojai, CA" on the hanging sleeve or on the quilt back using a black pen.

"Cat's Eye" is also an orignal design made in 1999. It is 24" square. The main colors are blues, reds, yellows, and black. Monica used hand-dyed fabrics and overdyed garment fabrics. It is also machine pieced and machine quilted and is labeled in the same way as "Mountains" was.

"Blue Moon" in another orignal design. It is 36" by 24". It is mainly white, yellow, light blue, red, dark green, black and bright blue. Again, Monica used overdeyed garment fabrics and hand-dyed fabrics.
