I came across this story about a lost quilt during a tornado. I thought you'd all appreciate it since it points out the importance of quilts.

Sweet story. I'm glad the quilt made its way back to the family. Another reason to label quilts.

Couldn't help but notice this line.

Netty's mother, knitted a beautiful quilt adorned with owls.
But I'll forgive him since he's a sports writer. And he made the effort to get the quilt back where it belonged.

It is wonderful that this quilt found it's way back to family. How awesome that someone took the time and effort to see that it was returned. This family is truly blessed :D:D:D
