Yesterday I was in a car (a passanger) on the Cross Island Expressway in Queens NY during evening rush hour. I suddenly saw a quilt on the side of the highway.....soaked in the rain. The colors were beautiful, but traffic was going quite rapidly and there was no place to stop.
I keep wondering how the quilt was lost, and if someone managed to get it when the traffic had lessened. How sad to lose a quilt like that!
Our guild had someone from the Smithsonian visit and talked about saving quilts. She said too many quilters never put a label on their quilts. It should have your name, the name of the quilt, address of where it was made (State, town), year made, and if it was made for someone + another notes that people in the future should know about the quilt.
If you've spent time making it.........label it!
It would be fun to find that lady.....but if she is alive, don't tell her that it sold for $1.
