Everyone is saying 'sew a label on it'....and I say: make it big, include 'washing instructions' or 'don't wash, or something so the home doesn't ruin it. Make sure that the person he designates the 'heir' to the quilt is also listed, or you will NEVER get it back.
That is such a beauty, you wouldn't want to have it 'gone missing'!
Ramona Byrd said it just so:
Absolutely put on a label and make sure it is on securely. Also, let the staff there SEE YOU taking pictures of BIL
on or near that quilt. My husband was in a nursing home for 3 years, and so much of his stuff went missing that
I finally gave up and gave him just what they said to get him. Most of the thefts, said the staff, was done by either
visitors and/or mentally "off" patients. Discuss with the staff how much it should be insured for...no matter if you
insure it or not..
