Old Woman in the Shoe Quilt
Gail Surrena is asking for help is finding her baby quilt which has been missing for a long time. Her mother pieced the baby quilt and her great-grandmother quilted in in 1954. This treasured quilt was used to bring both of her sons home from the hospital.
On September 12, 1980, when her youngest son was eight days old, her family and some friends went to the White County Fair in Searcy, Arkansas. The quilt was inadvertently set down along with a stuffed toy, and both disappeared.
The quilt is an applique of the Old Woman in The Shoe. It is trimmed in baby blue, which is worn from so many years of tender love. The edges are scalloped. The shoe is brown. The quilt also has a blood stain on it.
Gail adds, "I would love to have the quilt returned. No questions asked."
