Babies Treasure by Danielle Boskamp

This vintage quilt is single bed size in pastel colors, mainly flowerly materials. The blocks are arranged in a Trip Around the World pattern.

Quilted Walleye

Jul 01 2009

Quilted Walleye, front

During September 2008 Sue Rutford created her Quilted Walleye quilt to be part of the “Walleye School of Fish” exhibit at CivicFest, an event that took place in Minneapolis during the Republican Convention. Sadly, the organizer of the walleye art exhibit was unable to find the quilt after the exhibit was dismantled.

Quilted Walleye, Sue Rutford

Quilted Walleye, back

This piece is actually two quilts that are mounted on opposite sides of a walleye-shaped piece of wood. They were mounted using heavy carpet tape, so it is possible they could have been removed from the wood and are no longer together. One quilt is pieced and the other quilt is fused. Each piece is about 4 feet wide by 2 feet high. The main colors are blues and greens. The fused quilt uses all hand-dyed fabrics. There is a label on the front of the top fin of the fused walleye quilt. The label has Sue’s name and August 2008.

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

Susan McDougal is searching for a Yellow Double Wedding Ring quilt that was made by her grandmother, Susan Titter, and her great-grandmother, Nina Barry. The quilt belongs to her mother, Velma Titter, and it is not known what has happened to it. The quilt was last seen in 1993.

This quilt is double bed size. The background is yellow. The small squares making up the wedding ring pattern are a variety of colors in 1930′s prints. It is hand quilted and was made sometime during the 1930′s.

Bright Crazy Quilt

Jun 22 2009

Leah French Gonzalez is searching for a brightly colored crazy quilt made by her grandmother, Anna Henderson. When her grandmother passed away, her quilts were divided up. One was given to Leah’s aunt, Terry Stransky. When Terry passed away, the quilt could not be found among her things. It is possible she may have sold it when she came upon hard times. The quilt was last seen in 1993 in Santa Maria, California but it could have been sold in Santa Barbara, California.

This crazy quilt is full/queen size. The main colors are bright pink, green, yellows, all made from 1970′s scrap fabric and has crazy quilt type stitching. The quilt was made sometime between 1970 and 1978. It is possible that Anna may have embroidered her name on the quilt.
