Missing Quilts! Have you seen them?

Missing!  Two of my quilts and two belonging to Sarah Ann Smith of Maine.  They were apparently lost in a shipping mishap in Lomita, California on 11 October, 2011.
These quilts were part of a special exhibit, "Then and Now," at Mancuso shows in New Hampshire (World Quilt Competition) and California (Pacific International Quilt Festival, PIQF, Santa Clara), from which they were returned.  The quilts were supposed to be mailed from the Office Depot in Lomita, but vanished without a trace.

Shady Lady

26.75 x 27.25 inches

Shady Lady is based on an original photograph taken in my shade garden this summer. After enlarging the photo, I applied it to a single piece of black fabric and cut away the white portions. After cutting, it was fused to the white fabric and straight stitch machine quilted over the black areas.
