Allison Aller was hoping that someone had found her missing quilt called “Crazy in the Garden.” It was last seen on May 14, 2011 at Quilt Market in Salt Lake City. It was in the C & T Publishers booth, but it never arrived back at C & T’s headquarters after the market was over.
This original quilt is 46″ by 46″. This heavily embellished quilt features garden colors; blue, green, pink, orange, and purple dominate. The quilt is covered with three dimensional flowers. It also has appliqued, machine embroidered hummingbirds and butterflies. There are several beaded butterflies as well. This is the quilt that is on the cover of her book, “Allie Aller’s Crazy Quilting: Modern Piecing and Embellishing Techniques for Joyful Stitching.” The quilt also won a second place in the Embellished Quilts category at the IQA Houston Show in 2010.
On April 30, 2012, C&T joyfully announced that all four missing quilts have been found!!! They had been carefully packed away in a mistakenly labeled, long-term storage box.

Hi, I am so sorry for you. I know the work put into that quilt. I live here in Vancouver close to Camas and saw you were local. I will pray that yours and others are returned. Mary

It’s devastating to me to hear that Allie’s beautiful crazy quilt is missing. How could this happen? I doubt that I would entrust my quilts to anyone.
Being a former x stitch designer, I’ve had x stitch models get lost over the years. It never bothered me much. But the thought of losing one of my crazy quilts sends my anxiety through the roof!
I pray that all lost quilts are found and returned to their rightful maker/owner.
