Red, Yellow and White Turkey Track
This treasured family heirloom was stolen from Marcy Kenyon�s New York City apartment about five years ago (1995). They believe the thief probably used it to wrap the other items they were stealing, not knowing how priceless the quilt really was.
This quilt was made in 1961 by Bessie Beulah Kenyon in Fort Wayne, Indiana. It was made for her son and wife who were the owner�s father and mother. It is a double bed size. She used a red and yellow print fabric with a white background to make her Turkey Track pattern, shown to the right. It has a tremendous amount of quilting, white on white. At the time of the theft it was in excellent conditions. There was no label or signature.
