Doodle's Quilt by Dorothy Viola Holobaugh

Doodle's Quilt by Dorothy Viola Holobaugh

Judith is searching for a quilt that was made by her mother, Dorothy Viola Holobaugh. It was made for Judith’s daughter, Christine Viola (Doodle) Cowan Cary. The quilt was last seen in Rancho Santa Fe, California. It became missing during a divorce, and it may have been given away or sold, along with another quilt and an afghan made by Dorothy.

This is an original design. It is twin size. It is yellow with white and the border is red. The quilt features a little girl doing different dances. Each applique is unique, It was created in 1976 by a grandmother for the granddaughter that was named for her. Judith doesn’t rememeber exactly what is on the label, but it may include the words “Doodle” or “Christy”, “Dancing Girls”, Dorothy’s name, and the year.

Judith writes, “This is an original quilt made especially for my daughter the same year my mother made quilts for three other granddaughters - all designed around the girls’ interests. It is breaking my heart that this quilt is missing…as well as the other one and a hand crocheted afghan mom made for Doodle. The quilts and afghan may be in Mexico as the ex was in the habit of giving his handy man stuff to take home to Mexico.”

If you find this quilt, please contact Judith at [email protected].

Let the Sunshine In by Anna Hergert

On December 15, 2010, Anna Hergert mailed her quilt, “Let the Sunshine In,” from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada to Barrington, Rhode Island. She was donating the quilt to the UN Quilt Challenge for 2011. Sadly, this quilt didn’t arrive as expected.

On February 22, 2011 we received the wonderful news that this quilt has finally been delivered! The recipient wrote, “It is ironic since my husband ordered the reproduction of your quilt just yesterday! I am so glad since it is amazing beautiful in real life. I jumped for joy and I hope you will too!”

The quilt is 30″ high by 20″ wide. The main colors are blue, ochre, and deep purple. The quilt depicts a scene of Burkha-clad women. She appliqued sheer and opaque polyester fabrics over a hand painted canvas background. The quilt has a label hand stitched to the lower back corner which has the name of the quilt, Anna’s name and website URL.

Daylily Onepatch

Daylily Onepatch by Ann Maley

Daylily Onepatch by Ann Maley

Ann Miller Malley hopes someone has found her Daylily Onepatch quilt which she made in 1994. The quilt belongs to Tom and Suellen Knight. It was stolen from their seasonal home on St. Simon’s Island, Georgia when they were not in residence. It was last seen sometime around 1996.

Ann’s quilt is 66.5″ by 51″. The main colors are yellow, orange, red, and green. It is machine pieced, hand appliqued, machine quilted, and it has beading at the center of some of the flowers. Except for the borders, every piece is a curved, half-petal/leaf shape. This became Ann’s logo and she used it on her stationary and business cards. This quilt has a label sewn to the lower right corner on the back. It has Ann’s name, the name of the quilt, and probably something about it being an original tessellation.

If you know anything about this missing quilt, please contact Ann at [email protected].

Flora by Diana Galson-Kooy

Diana Galson-Kooy needs help recovering her “Flora” quilt. It was last seen in August 2010 at the Newton Cultural Center in Newton, Massachusetts. It had been part of a multi-media art show called “Seasons of Flowers.”

This original quilt is 18″ by 16″. The main colors are yellow, black, and red. Diana used silks, shiny fabrics, batiks, and a black and white striped background. It is fused and machine applique, machine pieced, and machine quilted. Diana embellished the quilt with shiny beads, tube beads, and sequins. There is a typed label fused to the back of the quilt. The label is attached upside down so when the quilt is hanging and the corner is flipped up, the label is right side up.

Please contact Diana at [email protected] if you can help in the recovery of this quilt. There is a $100 reward for its safe return.

Recovered! Charming Circles

Jun 03 2010

Charming Circles by Kimberly Einmo

In January 2010, Kimberly Einmo had reported that her quilt, "Charming Circles," was stolen. It was one of several quilts that were passed around at the Scrap and Sew Open House Event in Lutz, Florida. There were about fifty people in attendance and the store did not have security cameras, so there is no way to know who might have taken it.

On June 3, 2010, Kimberly wrote,"I’m very happy to report that Charming Circles has been RETURNED to me! I promised amnesty — no questions asked — if whoever took my quilt would return it. The quilt was returned to me last week and I promised I would not give the details other than to say it may have been an honest mistake that the quilt was taken in the first place. The bottom line, I am thrilled that the individual did the right thing and returned the quilt to me. Happy ending!"

This quilt is featured in her new book, "Jelly Roll Quilts & More." It is an original design of arc blocks set in horizontal rows and rotated to create circles. It is 22" square. Kimberly used modern, bright colors including the Woodland Bloom fabric line by Lila Tueller.

Recovered! Fish Tank

Fish Tank by Nancy Ryan

Fish Tank by Nancy Ryan

Nancy Ryan was hoping someone had seen her original quilt, “Fish Tank.” It was last seen on April 27, 2010 in Gainesville, Florida. It had been displayed at the Quilting Natural Florida II Exhibit and was being returned by a commercial shipping company. The company said it was delivered to her California address and left on the front porch. When Nancy returned home, the package was no where to be found.

Thankfully, one month later, Nancy reported that her quilt had been recovered! The shipper had delivered it to the wrong address, and it is now safely back home with Nancy!

This quilt was made in 2009 and is 36″ wide by 24″ long. Nancy used bright batiks, especially turquoise and orange. The quilt is appliquéd and machine quilted with specialty threads. Fancy machine stitches were used when the sheer fabric was applied.
