Ribbon Log Cabin
In December 1996 a Ribbon Log Cabin quilt was lost by UPS while being sent from Leesburg or Travies, Florida to Berlin, New Jersey. Somehow it was never delivered and the tracking number was lost. The problem was compounded because the person receiving the quilt did not know it was being sent because it was a Christmas gift. Several months went by before it was discovered missing.
The scrappy quilt was made entirely of grosgrain ribbon in 1950. It was hand pieced and hand quilted and heavily embroidered like a crazy quilt might be. The quilt fit a double bed with a scalloped drop of approximately 8". The quilt was made by Maude S. Hager and is owned by Laura B. Pinchick. Maude, Alyce's grandmother, worked in a ribbon factory and she gave this quilt to Alyce's cousin as a wedding gift. The cousin then gave it to Alyce's sister for her wedding.
If you've seen a quilt similar to this, please contact Alyce through the Lost Quilt Come Home Page.
