Purple Sampler Quilt Top

On October 22, 1999 Karen Semore sent her purple sampler quilt top out to be quilted. Two weeks after she mailed it, she was told it had not arrived at its destination. Karen mailed the quilt by through the US mail from Lakewood, Colorado to Paso Robles, California.

The quilt top was a full size sampler with twenty 12" squares. She used white on white for the background and sashing. Each block has a black border and is made up of different shades of purple. She did not take a picture of the finished quilt top because she was waiting for it to be quilted.

The blocks that were included on this quilt top are:

  • Double Pinwheel
  • Eddystone Light
  • Ladies Aid Album
  • Double X
  • Contrary Wife
  • Darting Birds
  • Simplex Star
  • Thrifty
  • Ohio Star
  • Swamp Angle
  • Basket
  • Card Trick
  • Union
  • Album
  • Broken Window
  • Corn and Beans
  • Summer Winds
  • Churn Dash
  • A Star is Born

If you have any information regarding this lost quilt top, please email Karen Semore at [email protected].
