Do not leave a quilt in plain sight even in your locked car. Don’t just leave it in a duffel or bag making it look like it is some other precious cargo worth stealing. Facebook, Twitter, Tumbler, Google+ and everywhere I have a profile asking folks to PLEASE Forward, re-post, share and spread this information. And you won’t believe the response it got. There is a quilt that I learned about early this morning.

Did you know that ad space on this blog provides for all of the free patterns and free mysteries and challenges at no cost to you? Without ads, this blog would not be possible. Gratitude was the subject at our WW check in today. I appreciate that my daughter's horse Pete gives me some snuggles when I go out in the morning to feed them all and give them water.
I talk about that on my blog also. I also have my quilt provenances on the blog. We need to keep reminding people. I'm another Terri and saw your link on Show and Tell Tuesday.

At that time, there was nothing to help quilters who had lost quilts to get the word out. Maria, not being one to sit around and let others do the work, started the website "Lost Quilts Come Home." Since then, she has re-designed the website. Label the quilt– sounds so simple, but if you took a little bit of extra time to write or print on a piece of fabric and then stitch it on the quilt, that will help. Give info on it that would help it get returned if it was taken.
I have instructed all of them to label, no matter how awesome the quilt is, or how ordinary, so they can have a record of their work. The younger girl is already working on her #2 quilt and planning what she will write on that label. I am so glad I learned that labels are an absolute part of ANY quilt that leaves my hands. Am so happy to see this one returned to one of the makers. Lost Quilt Come Home in hopes to reunite more lost quilts with their owners.

Glad the quilt owner was found, so sad some people steal things. Nice that you are helping with that cause. Lostquilt.com as I think there are many quilters that don’t realize how common the issue of quilts being lost or stolen is, and that there’s help available. Jan from The Secret Life of Mrs. Meatloaf is helping spread the word about this lost quilt, Really Wild Flowers! Second Season by Sharon L. Schlotzhauer. It was last seen at the recent Houston quilt market and show.

Ever since then, a volunteer has tried to find out who it belongs to. This quilt is truly a “Guild” quilt as it was designed by a guild member, blocks were made by guild members, a bee put all the blocks together. The hand appliqued leaves and cardinals were done by Kim Zebrowski and the custom quilting was done by Cathy Kirk. What a wonderful story with a happy ending and a great reason to sign your quilts! In Washington, IL tornado zone, they are finding quilts that aren't labeled and having trouble finding who they belong to. Labels should give names, towns, etc. that would help clue people where to look for owners.
I have an idea, though it will not come to fruition. How about a TV show called "Cold Quilt Files" or "America's Most Wanted Quilts"? I know that won't happen, but it would get the word out wouldn't it! Seriously, I do hope these quilts are found and returned. Quilting takes hours and hours, and especially heartbreaking when made for loved ones.
