Misdelivered Quilt is going home. OK!

Posted on by November 8, 2018

This happened so quickly that I couldn’t find the time to post it here before the mystery was solved. In October, 2018 a quilt was shipped from a retail location with the intent to go from one city to another both in Oklahoma. The address label that was created had significant errors. Here’s the message that came to Lost Quilt Come Home. “Looking for the owner. Ihave this quilt. It was delivered to Payless, Brookville, Ohio about 3 weeks ago, with no information on the outside or inside.” Apparently the quilt should have been delivered to an address in Oklahoma, but instead went to Ohio.

A post was created and put on the Facebook page for Lost Quilt Come Home. Before the day was over a Facebook user recognized the quilt as her daughter’s Lazy Sunday missing quilt! After a few lengthy video chats, several text messages, and the support of an active quilting community on Facebook, the quilt is now being safely shipped back home to Oklahoma. OK!

Lost! Two Quilts

Posted on by November 22, 2018

Please share! Let’s help Peggy to find these quilts. In her own words: “A very sad quilt thing happened. After I brought home my quilts from our guild’s quilt show, I gave my daughter back the 2 I had made for her kids, my grands. They were in her car along with a bunch of other things to be dropped off to a charity box in Media, PA. Yep! On November 1, they were mistakenly dropped into the box, as well. She has contacted the company and she and they’ve gone through bins and bins of things. Have not found them. We’d love to find them, of course. Please keep your eyes out. They both have labels on them, but were stitched on. The first quilt has a label which reads, Welcome to the World Leo Solomon Butler
The other quilt is labeled, Welcome to the World Talia Rae Butler. Both quilts also have the name of the quilt maker (aka Grandma) Pieced and quilted by Peggy Kushman.
PLEASE share this so, maybe they could be found.
Update: I found out that once the box contents are picked up, they go straight to Glassboro, NJ. From there, anywhere in the world.” ?
If you know anything about the whereabouts of these quilts please send a message tooctopusouphit@gmail.com Thank you!

Found: Signature Quilt

Posted on by September 27, 2018

Donna Boots is looking for help in locating family members of the makers of a signature quilt from most likely the 1940’s. Genealogical research indicates that some of the names on the quilt may have ties to Oklahoma. Donna bought this signature quilt at an auction in New Mexico, in an area where retirement communities are popular among military families, which makes it likely the quilt has been moved from it’s original home.

Mrs. Carl Thompson 3-1-33


Donna’s story, “Years ago I bought a signature quilt at auction (in New Mexico) and since that time I have been trying to find family members so I may return the quilt to them. I have posted messages about the quilt on all the genealogy sites…and have not received a single response. Maybe the power of facebook will help in finding them!

Those of us who are quilters know what a precious gift it would be to receive a signature quilt from our own family…that had been lost!

  • Mrs. Claude Vance

Some of the signatures on the quilt are:
Honon Nelson
Mrs. Carl Thompson (3-1-33)
Mother and Daddy Benson (1927)
Charline Williams
Irene Thomas
Aunt May Askins
Mrs. Claude Vance
Fred (age 3 ½ July 33)

Please share this with your relatives and friends in hopes of finding this quilt family. I would love to be able to send this quilt home! Anyone needing to contact me regarding this quilt can email me at dbootsnm@aol.com.
