Log Cabin with Wide Border

Dec 11 2008

Log Cabin by Kayla Kennington

Kayla Kennington has been searching for her missing quilt since 2008. She made it in 2000. It was originally just made as a bed cover, but she became attached to it when she was ill with pneumonia. Her mother would come and sit with her, and they played a guessing game to pass the time — which square looked like an ocean, or a certain flower, etc. It was a wonderful bonding time with her mom.

The quilt is a simple log cabin with a wider border. The blocks are 7-inch square. There are 9 or 10 blocks across and 11 blocks down. It has a tan and white busy print backing with a sleeve for hanging. The edge is a 1/4-inch beige and black stripe. The quilt is tied with pearl cotton floss. The quilt includes over 100 designs of small scale cotton print fabrics.

Please contact Kayla through the Lost Quilt Come Home Page if you’ve seen this quilt.

Dresden Plate Baby Quilt

Jan 28 2008

In 1998, Debra Roberts found a crib-size, Dresden-style baby quilt in Catoosa, Oklahoma in the Catoosa School’s football parking lot after a game. At the time she contacted the daycare that was across the street from the school, but no one recognized it. She also left word at the school’s administration office but, again, no one claimed it. The quilt was even left on the fence next to the parking lot for a day after it was found. Debra rescued it when the grounds crew was going to throw it away. The quilt was stained and had some minor tears. Debra has always hoped that somehow the rightful owner could be found.
This quilt is 43" by 56" and has twelve 11" squares. It has a white background and uses pink and blue flower-printed fabrics that are the same print but just different colors. It has white edging, pink borders and sashing, and blue cornerstones.
Please contact Debra through the Lost Quilt Come Home Page if this might be your quilt.

Birds of Color

Aug 27 2007

Birds of Color by Anne Morrill Robinson

“Birds of Color,” an incredible work of art by Anne Morrell Robinson has been stolen from the New York State Fair Arts Building. On Saturday, August 24, 2002 at about 9:45 PM while the show was still open, it was pulled of the wall at the state fair and it disappeared. This quilt had won a second place ribbon in the applique and pieced division. A police report has been filed, but we need your help to recover this quilt.

The design for this 108″ by 108″ original quilt begins with a pheasant in the central medallion. Twelve album-type bird blocks surround the center. The outer border has peacocks and seasonal flowers in the corners. Flying geese blocks form the sashing. The colors are bright: red, green, gold, brown and blue. The pieced background is white on white. Many of the fabrics used are feather prints. The backing has a large bird and floral print with two strips of blue border print depicting birds and baskets. This quilt is machine appliqued, machine pieced, and hand quilted. There are feathers quilted into the background with a 1/4″ grid.

After two years of work on this one-of-a-kind quilt, Anne finished it in 2002. Anne embroidered her name on the front of the quilt in the right corner on a ribbon that is in a bird’s mouth. It says, “Anne C. Morrell 2002″ . The quilt also has a hand appliqued label in the lower left corner of the back. The label has Anne’s name and address along with a picture of an envelope with birds sitting on it.

Anne is a well established, award winning quilt artist and teacher. She says it feels like “someone has stolen two years of my life.” If you know any information about this stolen quilt, please contact Anne at [email protected].
