Ski Dreamin'
Caroline Reyes is looking for a very special quilt, Ski Dreamin', which she designed herself. It features hand-painted downhill skiers and the center panel is a photo of a boy in a body cast leaning on ski poles. This is a large full or queen sized quilt made of primary colors and the sashing is stripes of red, blue, yellow and green. It is machine pieced and machine quilted and was made in 1983. There may be an embroidered label which says "Caroline Reyes for John Reyes."
The quilt had been placed in a storage locker near Denver, Colorado around 1986. The lock was cut and everything in the storage locker, including the quilt, was stolen. At the time the quilt was stolen, it had never been washed. The fabric paints had been heat-set, but if it was washed improperly at a later date, it is possible the colors could have run.
If you have seen a quilt which fits this description, please contact Caroline at [email protected].
