Sorority Quilt Lost in the Mail
Shannon Johnson made a special quilt for her sorority sister�s daughter for the daughter�s college graduation. The daughter had been spending the summer in Washington DC, so Shannon sent it to her home in Mason City, Iowa so she wouldn�t have to carry it home with her on the airplane. When her mother received it, however, she decided to forward it to her daughter. Unfortunately the mother wrote the wrong address on the package and the daughter never received the quilt. It was sent UPS, or possibly through the US post office.
Naturally Shannon is heartbroken and needs help finding this quilt. The quilt is made with their sorority colors: red, buff (yellow), and green and she included pictures of their college times on the quilt. In the center is a large picture of their entire sorority with "Alpha Gamma Delta" machine embroidered in an arc over the top. The photos are all done by photo transfer technique. The quilt also features the names of six members of their family tree: Jean, Lori, Shannon, Karin, Jennifer, and Amy. In the corners are two squirrels, a red rose and a yellow rose. The fabrics are mostly prints with solid color muslin behind the pictures. The back of the quilt is red marbled fabric and it is tied with yarn. It is about 54" by 66".
This quilt was lost sometime during the summer of 1998. If you know anything about this quilt, please contact Shannon at [email protected].
