"Recovered: Quilt found after May 2011 tornado

May252012

This quilt was found in Piedmont, Oklahoma after the area was hit by a deadly tornado in May 2011. It was discovered in a field two months after the storm, but the owner could not be found. It has a label that says “Made Especially for you by Grammie” along with the date Nov. 1999.

On May 24, 2012 the quilt happily was reunited with its maker and her family! The quilt had been swept away in the storm for five or six miles from its home, which was destroyed.

The quilt features a traditional quilt block that is sometimes called “Dutch Girl” or “Umbrella Girl.” This quilt has twenty appliqued and embroidered ladies, each holding a parasol. Each one is embroidered with a name. Names include Bettina, Sarah, Hannah, Heather, Ashley, Allie, Amanda, Stephanie, Michelle, Leah, Cristy, Kristi, and possibly Jehan (?) and Morissa (?). It has mint green sashing and backing."

The original news story by Jamie Oberg can be read on News9.com.

That's a neat site, Rita - thanks! There are some heart-warming stories there. The quilt does show on the home page by going to www.lostquilt.com without any other info.

Thanks Marci. I like the site, and visit less than I'd like to.

I signed up there, and get very few email.. most like this one, when a very new post comes on.
