Julie's Round Robin
Julie Higginson would like to finally receive her round robin quilt. It was last seen around December 2007.
Julie writes, “This was a Round Robin project. The last lady to work on it lives in Brooklyn, New York and she added the Delectable Mountains blocks. She then sent it to the next lady in the group who lives in East Bend, North Carolina. That lady let us all know that she did indeed receive the quilt top and would get to work on her addition. We never heard from her again. Each of us in the group have emailed her, left voicemails on her home and cell phones, and I even sent her a personal check and asked her to just return the quilt top to me no questions asked. All to no avail. We had swapped with this lady in the past and never had any problems before, so we are clueless as to why she would do this to us…Several of us in the group have done some research on the lady who stole this quilt top and another one. At first we were afraid that perhaps something dreadful had happened to her, and we were worried about her. But through a bit of research on the internet and making some phone calls, we have found out that she is indeed in good health and still living and working in her community. As a good faith effort, we even sent her own Round Robin back to her recently…and she REFUSED to accept the package! Very strange.”
This quilt is about 50″ square. It is very scrappy, but there’s a great deal of reds and greens, as well as tan background fabrics. The center block is made up of four mini log cabin blocks with a pot of flowers appliqued in the center. The next round are more mini log cabin blocks with red hearts appliqued onto the light colored fabric. The next round is made up of Delectable Mountain blocks. It is machine pieced and machine appliqued.
If you can help with the recovery of this quilt, please contact Julie at [email protected].
