The same thing happened to the quilt I made for my Mama many years ago. In the future, I suggest for anyone giving gifts in Nursing Homes (how sad) to actually take a picture of the item with the patient and the quilt maker together. Then it may be necessary to actually buy insurance for the item..... Of course, it MAY help to have the receiver's name on the quilt top.....

Inquiries from staff didn't bring any results. Just really upset about this it took me months to put the squares together which I had already cut years ago in red white and green left over from other project done many years ago, days before rotary cutters. Can you you believe this. I labelled with her name and even sewed it into the quilting so when they did laundry it wouldn't come off. Just had to vent.
