Patty Macy is searching for a quilt that she made for her grandson, Peter Macy. This quilt was last seen in 2009 in Silverdale, Washington. The Navy family was moved to Italy for assignment. The quilt didn’t make it. It may have been packed in the household goods that were stored in Washington, but when the family returned to Silverdale and opened the boxes, they still couldn’t find the quilt.
The quilt is about 50″ by 59″ The main colors are blues, reds, yellows, greens, browns, black and white. Patty used the bottle quilt pattern with various bug fabrics, so it looks like bottles of bugs sitting on shelves. The quilt is machine pieced and machine quilted. It is custom quilted with bug shapes and bug names in the black open spaces around the bottles. The label reads something like: “Peter’s Bug Collection, created with love by Patty Macy 2005.” It is sewn on a back corner.
Patty has made several similar quilts, but each one is a little different. One is hanging in a grandson’s home in Virginia. Others were donated to CASA kids and to A Partner’s In Care Fundraiser, El Dorado County, California.
If you’ve seen Peter’s quilt, please contact Patty at [email protected].
