Jason’s Quilt

Oct 01 2010

Jason's Quilt

Jason's Quilt

Ronda Covey hopes that someone found the quilt that her mother, Barbara (AKA Granny B), made for her son, Jason. The quilt was last seen in 1999 on I-70 between Colby, Kansas and Hays, Kansas. They were traveling along I-70 when the bag that the quilt was in was sucked out of the bed of their pickup truck when a semi passed them. The normally four-lane, divided highway was down to two lanes on the east-bound side, so by the time they were able to turn around and go look for it, they couldn’t find it. They couldn’t stop immediately because of road construction. This quilt was very important to Jason and he was devastated.

This is a king-size quilt. It has forest green strips around the nine-patch blocks. There are four large squares in the middle that Barbara called “Overall Sam” or it may be called “Suspender Sam.” They were made from Ronda’s grandfather’s overalls. The quilt is machine pieced and tied. Along one side, Barbara machine embroidered “Jason - Granny B 1998.” There is also a red heart embroidered on it.

If you’ve seen a quilt that fits this description, please contact Ronda at [email protected].

Quilt of Valor

Sep 18 2010

Quilt of Valor by Barbara File

Barbara File hopes it is still possible to recover her Quilt of Valor quilt. It was shipped on July 6, 2010 from Little Egg Harbor, New Jersey. It was received by a transfer station in Pennsylvania and sent out to Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, but the tracking was never updated. Many calls were made before she was told it was in a fire, but now no one knows anything about a fire on a truck. Barbara wonders if it has been stolen.

This is a large, lap-size quilt. It has a red border, blue sashing, yellow cornerstones. The blocks are red and blue Churn Dash. She used a fabric with red and blue stars on white for the background. It has a label on a lower corner with Barbara’s name.
