Seaside Quilter's lost quilt update . . . .
 
I'm on vacation, and Saturday my son sent me a text accompanied by a picture. "Guess what I have" and it was a picture of my lost quilt and the thank you card from my LAQ. A neighbor two doors away from mine who has been on vacation for a month came home on Saturday and found a ripped open box on her porch. She saw my name on the label at the same time the neighbor in between us came outside. She asked the second neighbor (who knew I was looking for my quilt) about it and they both walked it over to my house and gave it to my son (who happened to be there feeding my kitty). He went bonkers and sent me the text. I'm anxious to get home and see what condition it's in and then scurry to put the binding on for my daughter's baby shower this Saturday. I would like to thank all the Board members who were so concerned about my quilt to send me PMs to ask about it. I really appreciate your interest.

I didn't know it was missing, but it feels really good that it was found. Hope it is the way it should be.

OMG that's a quilt tale for all time! How nice to be reunited and hooray for good neighbors who have your best interest in mind.

So glad you have a happy ending. I wonder how long it had been sitting on your neighbor's porch. I'm happy that it's home.

Knitette 09-03-2012 07:54 AM

So pleased for you! :)

I remember reading the thread when you lost it, and am so glad it's been found. I hope you notify the carrier, so they realize that they delivered to the wrong house. (I would have already looked on every porch in the neighborhood, knowing how these things can happen.)

Neesie 09-03-2012 08:08 AM

I'm so glad it was finally discovered!

Peckish 09-03-2012 09:00 AM

Yay!! And thanks for letting us know - half of us have been going crazy, wondering what happened to it (AND the original thread about it)!

maryb119 09-03-2012 09:09 AM

I am so glad you found it!!!

bearisgray 09-03-2012 09:11 AM

So far so good. Let us know what condition it's in when you get it.

cmw0829 09-03-2012 09:52 AM

That's wonderful - I'm so happy!!!!!!!!!

Still doesn't explain why the package ended up at the wrong address. But I guess it only matters that it came to a happy ending!

KarenR 09-03-2012 10:10 AM

So glad you found it!!!!!

Wonder why she had to ask your neighbor about it.

BellaBoo 09-03-2012 10:21 AM

Good news! I learned to look at neighbors porches for packages I expect to get when they don't arrive. All my neighbors work and never home except at night and most don't use their front door at all so they never see a package left there.

Jim's Gem 09-03-2012 10:22 AM

So glad it was found!!!!

Grandma Peg 09-03-2012 10:32 AM

I love happy endings! So glad it got found! Odd that the box was opened though...if only it could tell you the story!
