Quilting Among Friends
Pattern designer Linda Everhart was returning from the International Quilt Festival when she received a crushing blow. On November 4, 2002 she stayed the night in a hotel in Dallas, Texas and her van was stolen. The van was later recovered, but the contents of the van, including sixteen quilts were not recovered. Fifteen of the quilts were made by herself and another quilt made by her friend, Amy Bradley. Not pictured are a second "God Bless America" quilt, another sunflower quilt and an angel quilt.
These quilts were the pattern samples for Linda's entire line of patterns which are sold through Quilting Among Friends (http://www.quiltingamongfriends.com/products.htm). The quilts are made using a fused reverse applique technique called Fusique™. The quilts were made in 2001 and 2002. These quilts were also shown on "Simply Quilts" Episode No. 805.
Linda writes, "I also feel that this had nothing to do with the International Quilt Market and Festival that I attended in Houston...I made a mistake by leaving them in the van, and would like to share this information so others do not get hurt this way."
Linda needs your help in recovering these quilts. A $1,000 reward is being offered for the return of these sixteen quilts. If you have any information that can help Linda, please contact her at [email protected].
