Daylily Onepatch

Nov 01 2010

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

Sep 13 2010

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! World War II Quilts

Aug 19 2010

Navy Insignia Quilt

Navy Insignia Quilt

On August 17, Sue Reich asked for help locating four missing World War II Quilts. Sue found out that these quilts went missing between 12:30 and 3:30 AM on August 11 at the shipping company’s facility in Keasbey, New Jersey. The quilts were at the Asheville Quilt Show in Asheville, North Carolina on August 6-8 2010. Four trunks of quilts were shipped back to Sue in New Jersey. Three of the four trunks returned home safely. Sadly, the fourth trunk was delivered empty. There were four World War II quilts in that trunk, along with a Grandmother’s Flower Garden quilt which Sue used as a table cover.

On August 18, Sue received a call from Brenda S. from the FedEx Customer Service Center in Memphis, TN. Sue wrote, “Brenda has the most heavenly voice I have ever heard. Brenda told me early on the Wednesday morning she received a call from someone in the quilt world who preferred to remain anonymous. This person told Brenda about the quilts and their importance, beseeching her to help find them. Brenda told me she was so moved that she made it her mission to find the quilts. Sometime in the afternoon, the quilts were delivered in an unmarked cardboard box to a FedEx facility in Salt Lake City, Utah. (FedEx’s lost and found items either go to Memphis or Salt Lake City.) The box arrived with no tracking number making it impossible to trace. Sharon at the Salt Lake facility didn’t even have them cataloged yet but she sent Brenda a picture, and Brenda called me to confirmed the identity of at least one of the quilts.”

On August 19, Sue was thrilled that the quilts were all safely returned! They had been overnighted to her from Salt Lake City, and they arrived at 11:30 AM. Sue writes, “Words cannot express my gratitude to the quilt world for helping to find these quilts. It took a Quilt APB to locate them but it worked. Congratulations to all of you and specifically to the very special person who interceded in my behalf. This experience has convinced me that I need to continue to share these quilts because of their historic importance.”

All of these quilts were made between 1941 and 1945, and they all have Sue’s name and address on hanging sleeves.

Night Shift Worker’s Quilt is an original quilt that is 68″ by 78.5″. The main colors are red, white, and blue. It is made of home dec fabrics and silks that read, “Quiet Please Night Shift Worker Sleeping, Thank You.” It is machine pieced and hand quilted.

Canadian Red Cross Quilt is a wholecloth quilt that is 63.5″ by 72″. It is made from four feed sacks sewn together. It is hand pieced and hand quilted. The main color is blue.

Navy Insignia Quilt is a 64″ by 88″ quilt made of Navy insignia patches. It is machine pieced and machine quilted.

Hazleton Fund Raising Quilt is 66″ by 84″. The main colors are white, white, and red. It is hand embroidered with hundreds of names. This quilt was made in 1942-1943.

If you there is anything you can do for the recovery if these quilts, please contact Sue at [email protected].

Giraffe and Animals

May 28 2009

Giraffe and Animals by Robin Hansen

Robin Hansen Buchholz hopes to find a quilt that has been missing since Spring 1993. It was last seen at Tillamook Junior High School during a show-and-tell session. Her daughter brought it to her eighth grade class for a report on pioneers. She took an antique crazy quilt throw, an example of an Hawaiian quilt square in blue and white, an appliqud quilt top of a dinosaur sitting on an egg, and an embroidered quilt wall hanging we called my “Giraffe Quilt”. This was a quilt that I had dreamed of doing. I woke up one night about 2am in the mid-1980′s, after seeing this quilt in a dream. It would use up all the whimsical patterns from cards that my boyfriend in high school had sent me when I was laid up from a bike accident. It had a large giraffe in the middle, surrounded by animals and flowers all embroidered mostly in satin stitch. It had the first lines from “All things bright and beautiful!” poem on the quilt.

Please contact Robin at [email protected] if you have this quilt.

Ohio Star

Dec 12 2008

Sarah is searching for a dark green and pink Ohio Star quilt that was made by her mother. The quilt is about 72″ square. The background of the blocks is pink. The backing is dark green with sprigs of pink flowers. It was hand pieced and hand quilted in 1992. It is possible that other quilt blocks were also used besides the Ohi Star. There is no border between the quilt blocks and the binding. The backing was folded forward as the binding.

The quilt was last seen in January 1999 at Our Lady of Peace School in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania. Sarah’s sister brought the quilt to school to use in a class project, but accidentally left it behind. When last seen, the quilt was stored in a black plastic garbage bag.

Please contact Sarah through the Lost Quilt Come Home Page.

Julie’s Round Robin

Dec 12 2008

Julie's Round Robin

Julie Higginson would like to finally receive her round robin quilt. It was last seen around December 2007.

Julie writes, “This was a Round Robin project. The last lady to work on it lives in Brooklyn, New York and she added the Delectable Mountains blocks. She then sent it to the next lady in the group who lives in East Bend, North Carolina. That lady let us all know that she did indeed receive the quilt top and would get to work on her addition. We never heard from her again. Each of us in the group have emailed her, left voicemails on her home and cell phones, and I even sent her a personal check and asked her to just return the quilt top to me no questions asked. All to no avail. We had swapped with this lady in the past and never had any problems before, so we are clueless as to why she would do this to us…Several of us in the group have done some research on the lady who stole this quilt top and another one. At first we were afraid that perhaps something dreadful had happened to her, and we were worried about her. But through a bit of research on the internet and making some phone calls, we have found out that she is indeed in good health and still living and working in her community. As a good faith effort, we even sent her own Round Robin back to her recently…and she REFUSED to accept the package! Very strange.”

This quilt is about 50″ square. It is very scrappy, but there’s a great deal of reds and greens, as well as tan background fabrics. The center block is made up of four mini log cabin blocks with a pot of flowers appliqued in the center. The next round are more mini log cabin blocks with red hearts appliqued onto the light colored fabric. The next round is made up of Delectable Mountain blocks. It is machine pieced and machine appliqued.

If you can help with the recovery of this quilt, please contact Julie at [email protected].
