Stolen Quilt

Hi Guys,
I know this is the *needlework* group but we ALL need to know about this
TERRIBLE thing! One of the quilters over at RCTQ posted that she sent a quilt
to a quilt show. She sent it Priority Mail from her local post office (not
some off site mail place) and when the box was opened at the quilt show, the
quilt was gone and a book was in its place!!! This had been done by a postal
employee while in transit from the local post office to the Quilt Show site.
Here's the link to the Lost Quilts site with the whole story --
http://www.lostquilt.com/AnAuraOfEnchantment.html . There are lots of
pics of the quilt and it IS gorgeous!!! HMMM We better be really careful
when we send the finished FireHouse Angel to NY!!!! CiaoMeow ^;;^
..
PAX, Tia Mary ^;;^
Angels can't show their wings on earth but nothing was ever said about their
WHISKERS!!
Nothing is complete without a few cat hairs!

Maybe we should call in Mary Monica, and Betsy, to solve the case of the
Purloined Quilt?

What a lousy way to compliment someone on their work!

What a stunning quilt. I'm sure the owner is heartsick over this theft.
Whoever took it should have needles shoved under their fingernails as
punishment!

I'm stitching too =) I don't know if the sequence of stitchers was
decided, so I don't have any idea of how long before I get my itchy
fingers on this Angel, but I'm certainly looking forward to it! And
my sister (Puterjunkee, she's lurking here someplace) is teasing me
about the fact that I'd said I didn't like Marilyn's angels yet I'm
planning to work on this one!

And you left em behind last night, along with your side bars and your
new stash.... I'm drooling over the Waxing Moon here giggle

I couldn't find the stash when I left, I thought it was in my bag
until I went to look for it to post my S.E.X. on another board. I
figured that it wouldn't be too long before I was over there anyway,
otherwise I would have called.

Eek!! That's horrible! Maybe using registered mail could provide some
security??
