Mona Lisa Quilt

Dec 02 2004

In the summer of 1996, while in Morpeth, Northumberland, England, a gentleman found a delightfully made quilt stuffed into a black plastic bag next to the Wansbeck River. It is a quilt based on the Mona Lisa, made mostly of brown and black irregular pieces of material. It seems rather old, perhaps from the 1950′s or 1960′s. On the inside of the quilt you can just about make out the name, "Jane Mann."

This person has spent the last seven years trying to find the owner of this quilt. If this quilt sounds familiar to you, please contact him through the Lost Quilt Come Home Page.
