Soccer Memory Quilt
Beryl Rowley is asking for help locating her Soccer Memory Quilt which she made for her son, George. The quilt was last seen in Buckhannon, West Virginia on May 6, 2009. It was on an Advantage moving truck in a U-Haul cardboard box. The quilt was lost during the move. The truck had possessions of eight different people. The quilt was not discovered missing until items had recently been removed from storage.
This quilt has twenty-five 12" by 14" squares separated by 3" black strips and bordered with a 6" black border. The squares are made from soccer jerseys and there are tournament patches on the border. The sashing and border is knit fabric. The backing is royal blue fake suede. The final size is approximately 90" by 100". This is a very heavy quilt with high loft batting. This quilt was machine pieced and machine quilted in 2007. There is a label on the back which is machine embroidered on white cotton.
Beryl is offering a reward for the return of the quilt, no questions asked. Please contact Beryl at [email protected].

Mona Lisa by Susan Raymond
Susan Raymond is hoping to recover two quilts that were lost during a move. They were last seen when the quilts were packed in June 2008 in Phoenix, Arizona. Two other families also had belongings on the truck, and were moving to Washington state. To date, the moving company still hasn’t been able to locate the missing quilts.
This king size quilt was made between 1987 and 1994. It is hand painted. The central portion is based on the famous Mona Lisa painting. The blocks are hand painted and the border blocks are pieced. There are six Tree of Life blocks and 12 Islamic Puzzle blocks in the corners. This quilt is hand pieced and hand quilted. The main colors are greens and browns.
The second quilt (not pictured) is based on Edvard Munch’s “Scream” painting. It is a small wall hanging which is also hand painted, hand pieced, and hand quilted. The borders are pieced.
Susan writes, “This quilt has many emotional ties to my family, as the piecing and quilting were done during significant events. I am willing to offer a reward for the return of this quilt.” If you can help in the recovery of this quilt, please contact Susan at [email protected].

Penelope Feeney is hoping to recover a quilt she made called “African Circles.” It was last seen in 2004 in Timsbury near Bath in Somerset, England, or possibly London. It was lost during one of several house moves over the past few years. She thought it was in storage, but now that she’s gone through everything she’s realized it’s missing. It was probably in a clear plastic storage bag along with an antique Durham quilt.
“African Circles” is a large 9 ft by 9 ft quilt. It has a dark brown background with interlocking rings of green and yellow. Each ring frames a square of African themed fabric. The intersections are done in plain black and leopard print. The fabrics used are shown to the left. The quilt is machine pieced, machine appliqued, and machine quilted.
If you have found this quilt, please contact Penelope through the Lost Quilt Come Home Page.
