I've been thinking of starting a business similar to this. Does the lady do well? I'd love to talk to her if you wouldn't mind passing along her business name & number.

Enclosed utility trailers have been a hot theft item recently. So many of them are similar in appearance, without identifying signs, such as company names, making it easy to sell to unsuspecting buyers.

I was just thinking the same thing. We all have well seasoned stashes and if we each pick 2 - 4 fabrics to send it would at least help her start over. Keep us posted.

Same here but I guess it wouldn't bring back the hard work involved. Sad for her.

If you are at a quilt show, keep your eyes open for any 'unscrupulous' looking people selling quilts - from a trailer! If the police can't catch them, maybe we can.

I am guessing that her things were in a trailer because she is a show vendor, and only needs them when she goes to shows.

People do stuff like this because they can. That is how our society is today. Hopefully she will have insurance on it.
