Before flooding the internet with this, please do some research. A friend wanted me to post it on my FB yesterday but I wanted more information. Tried to search for details and the ONLY information I could find was the article from Quiltville.blogspot. EVERY reference to the theft returned me to that particular site or were excerpts from it. There is NO mention of it on Nancy's website, blog, or Twitter. NO mention of it in the media in the town where her shop is located. I cannot think of why on earth someone would post a false theft - but if it really did happen, why would Nancy herself not be posting information about it??

Local newspaper interview with Nancy. The award is now at $1500.00.
And after careful inventorying, there is another quilt missing. I can't imagine how she must feel.

I don't know how you research but it was on Nancy Rings Facebook page. And the Quiltville blog post about it quotes Nancy herself telling about the theft. If you read the Quiltville blog about it you would have read that.

Read the news article .........entry to shop with key.......alarm system disabled........sounds like an inside job...oh, I have been watching too many mysteries on tv.....I hope the quilts are found in good condition. Cannot imagine why thieves would want quilts......how/ who would turn to cash? I could see supplies, sewing machines, but not quilts.....

Denice_a this theft really did happen!! I'm baffled as to why you can't find more than one site reporting the loss of these beautiful quilts. And if you go to Nancy Rink's blog, you will find information regarding the incident in her own words. And thirdly, the local news (KBAK Ch.29) covered the story I believe on July 29, and also interviewed Nancy. So to answer you question....... no one has posted a "false theft". It is unbelievable to me why someone would break into a shop and steal quilts, unless they knew their value (kind of like a piece of art). My thoughts and prayers go out to Nancy and hope her quilts will be returned in the near future.
