Flower Quilts

Aug 04 2006

Carrie Trettel Zizza hopes to recover three flower quilts made by her grandmother, Olive Trettel. She believes they were appliqued with tulips or flowers on a white background, and they were probably hand quilted. The quilts were probably made in the late 1960′s or early 70′s. These quilts were last seen on Clopper Avenue in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. Her parents had been going through a messy divorce, so she didn’t have much contact with her grandmother after they divorced. After her grandparents died, she was told that her grandparent’s friend named Vi with an Italian-sounding last name took the quilts. Vi’s husband had bought the house they were living in. Carrie believes their children may still have the quilts.

When Carrie was only ten, her grandmother had told her and her two sisters that the quilts were for them after she died. From what Carrie can remember, the one for her was a tulip or flower applique. One of the others may have been a whole cloth quilt.

If you know anything about these quilts, please contact Carrie through the Lost Quilt Come Home Page.

Butterfly Daisy Quilt

Earlier this year Julie Ray finished a quilt for her new baby granddaughter. It was last seen when it was taken from the pusher (stroller) while her daughter was nursing the baby in a shop called Baby On A Budget in Port Kennedy, Western Australia.

The quilt was made from a pattern in Patchwork and Stitching magazine, Volume 5, No. 8, designed by Kerry Thomas. It measures about 77 cm x 116 cm. Julie made the center block a daisy when she didn’t have enough fabric for the seventh butterfly. The quilt has a separate label sewn to the back of the quilt in the lower right corner. It was written using permanent pen and reads, “Made with love for Carly Jade by Grandma (Julie Ray) 2006.”

Recovered! Ode to Sally-Anne

Apr 08 2006

On Thursday, March 2, 2006 Beryl Mayger lost the quilt top she had been working on for over a year. It may have been taken from a basket in the Watsonia Library in Victoria, Australia, or it may have been dropped in the library parking lot.

On the morning of March 28 Beryl opened her front door and there was her quilt top! Someone had mysteriously left it on her doorstep. What a wonderful gift!

This quilt was made from the “Primarily Patchwork” pattern. It is approximately 85″ by 95″. It has a beige background with tiny red cherries on it. There is an appliqued central bouquet that is surrounded by an oval of appliqued flowers, leaves and pomegranets, and there is a bunch of flowers at each corner. It is made up of nine panels joined together.
