    Default Great grandmothers quilt top disappeared

    Hi, A friend spoke highly of the quilting board. I recently joined. Do you have a place on the board to place a picture of a lost quilt top that has disappeared? This quilt top may have been quilted by someone that might recognize the top. This top was made by my great grandmother for my deceased mother's wedding gift in 1944. Thank you for any help or suggestions. Also I would need directions on how to add picture.

    Do you know how it might have disappeared? There's a website for lost quilts: www.lostquilt.com.

    Welcome from Ontario, Canada. You can post a picture in the picture section of QB and I hope someone has seen it. Are you posting from iPad or computer? There are directions for both methods at the top of the picture section on QB. You can also post on www.lostquilt.com.

    Default Great grandmothers quilt top disappeared

    It was used in a quilt display. During this time I became ill and was in hospital. Another girl took down the display. She thinks she returned the top, but not for sure. I have searched my sewing room and house. Don't know what has happened to the top. I will check out the lost quilt site. Thanks.
