This quilt belongs to Brenda Wood and was stolen from the Queensland Quilt Show on 3/8/2014.
This quilt was stolen from the Queensland Quilt Show yesterday between 10.30 and 11am. Please spread the word through your contacts, blogs and facebook pages as this must be devastating for the quiltmaker involved.
Rosamonde Sherwood shared with a group I belong to on Facebook called Quilting. Sharing the info on her behalf. Great reminder to quilters to ensure your labels can’t be removed!!!! Your name is quilted into the image or something.
Stitching Grandma 
Sad state of affairs after all the hours, days, and weeks of creating something that beautiful. Years ago I worked in a fabric store and finished garments hung on hangers as examples. All of a sudden we’d look up and a hanger would be swinging away and the garment gone. I didn’t understand it then and I still don’t. Hope someone sees it and can bring it home to its rightful owner. 🙂

Sad to see. We were at a show last week joking about taking a lovely piece home…won’t joke that way again. Makes you feel anxious about sending your quilt off to a show.

This is just WRONG. I’m wondering if it would do any good out here on the west coast to share this – of course, if someone is going to steal something that beautiful, they may be intending to take it as far as possible from its original home. Could I reblog this for others to see?
