I hope it isn't a quilter. I have heard people talking about people stealing at the shows and shops and some are quilters. I really don't like to think that happens but it surely does, so sad.
Yes, it is unfortunate that even with tight security that these beauties can be stolen. Like all art theft, I believe it is done by people who know its worth and will keep it hidden to admire privately or sell on the black market. Shame those people are not clever enough to make something worthwhile by themselves and there might be less theft.
