This quilt was found amongst lost mail. Must have been separated from it's packaging. It can be identified by the embroidered name and birth info for the intended baby. My prayer is to find the quilter that made this precious gift and return it. Please attach mailing address, contact info, or return address to a quilt when sending it. Stitch on a label that can be removed easily by recipient, but not fall off with rough handling. Baby was born in 2009.

Sorry, the attachment didn't show up right away so I replied with another post. Then there was two. I deleted the 2nd attachment but could not delete 2nd post.

What's the name and birth info? It's likely possible to find the new owner with an extensive google search.

I didn't reveal the info, because it is the only way to tell if I have the real owner. I have googled it and even contacted another quilter with a baby quilt that had the first name on it. Her last name was the same as the baby's middle name. She replied, but it was not hers. She had not lost one.

I sure hope someone knows the quilt is lost! Oh My!
If it sent by a family friend or distant family member and the mom never received it I can imagine all kinds of hurt feelings. The maker thinking no one cared enough to reply with a thank you and the mom never knowing it was sent.
