I can't imagine how these people get away with stealing quilts especially large ones. It's not like you could slip it into your pocket. I guess some people have more front than a rat with a gold tooth.

That happened at the Houston show. The quilt maker had a court case against a long arm manufacturer (mom and pop...not a big name). The machine had major problems, caught fire... and the maker would not replace it or refund her money, so she took him to court. He was the one who splashed bleach on it. He was prosecuted and is still in jail, I think...[/quote]
Thank you for clearing that up. Didn't see your answer before I wrote what I'd been told

put it out on facebook and all other Internet places. Someone might be getting it for the holiday gift and recognize that it is a stolen gift, and give it back. Hopefully with a note saying who they got it from. Someone should recognize it. This is so maddening!!!
