Yes it is sad, I to often wonder about all mine. I don't know how many of you remember Stewy from the board, he has kept 6 of my quilt tops and won't return them, several are hand embroidery so there lost forever. He did quilt three for me and there terrible, stained and more. Breaks my heart I'll never get them back and they can't be replaced but do wonder what he did with them. I treasure my quilts and if I receive one as a gift, it's even more special.
