Quilt-Jacking ---Get the Word Out!

Several of the blogs I read posted this today, so I'm passing it along to all of you. Please copy this picture and pass this along to any quilt group you belong to and post it on your blog and FB page.

Missing, possibly stolen quilt...

Please pass the word!

Dear Quilting Friends,

I am writing on behalf of, Sharon Schlozhauer. Her quilt, “Really ‘Wild’ Flowers! Second Season”, went missing after the Houston Quilt Festival closed, most likely on Monday, Nov. 7. I'm sure we can only imagine Sharon's heartbreak over loosing this amazing prize winning quilt.

The quilt is 62" x 64.5".

Perhaps if the quilting community reaches out through their contacts, the quilt can be recovered. If you have any information that might help in finding Sharon's quilt, relay the information to Sharon at her email address: myfaithfirst@comcast.net.

If you would like to see some of Sharon's other amazing work, go to her web site:

Lyn Leary checked this out herself and received a personal note back from Sharon:

It is sadly true. I’m heartbroken. I would appreciate you putting it on your blog, and for others to do the same in hopes that I may get my quilt back. It was not a shipping error, it never made it to the FedEx office.

Here’s the basics: “Really ‘Wild’ Flowers! Second Season”, 62” x 64.5” went missing after the IQA Houston show in Texas – probably on November 7th. Please contact Sharon if you see this quilt or have any information that might lead to the recovery of it. She is offering a cash reward for the safe return of her quilt – no questions asked.
Thank you so much.

The more networking, the better – thank you Lyn,
