Not sure if I should post this here or under "Main" but here goes: I get a newletter called "Quilters Village Newsletter". Today there was a story about a quilt stolen off a front porch in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho just before Christmas. A mother made and sent it to her daughter, who is getting married. Evidently, the entire neighborhood was struck by thieves taking any boxes off porches. I believe the pattern was a type of star pattern with messages about "faith, hope, joy" interspersed. The mother is watching Ebay to see if it comes up for auction, others are suggesting checking craigslist, etc. Anyway, I wanted to pass this along, reminding us again, to require signatures for anything we send to someone to avoid this heartbreak. My heart breaks to think that beautiful quilt may have been just tossed in a dumpster by ignorant, despicable thieves.
