Help Nancy!

One of our favorite vendors at Best of the Valley, Nancy Rink, has had a horrible week.  On July 19, she posted that someone broke into her studio and stole a quilt.  She blogged about it here.  You would think that they (the thief/ves) would be satisfied?  oh, no.  They weren't.  They went back over the weekend and stole SIXTEEN more of her quilts!!  Is this someone who loves her work?  Or someone trying to put her out of business?  Or what?

She's posted on Facebook, where you can see all of the quilts.  Please, keep your eyes and ears open.  Someone somewhere knows something, and with this many quilts?  It will be tricky to keep them ALL hidden from view.  Help Nancy!  Let's find her quilts!

Around here, things aren't nearly as "exciting."

Pixel has been de-squeaking Scruffy's toys.  Every time I get a pile of them, I put the stuffing back in and stitch them up.  My mantel was full, so these got stitched over the weekend:

And really, that's about it from around here for now. 

Quilt on...

Can You Help My Friend?

Remember early November? When I went to Houston? It was an amazing fantastic incredible experience. I spent the days with my friend Sharon Schlotzhauer. We roomed together, we went through the show together, we had a wonderful time.

And then something happened. When the show ended on November 6, all was well. But on November 7, Sharon's "Really 'Wild' Flowers! Season Two!" quilt went missing. Calls have gone out near and far for the discovery and return of the quilt. No one knows where it is or what happened to it.

I took this picture of Sharon and her now missing quilt at the awards ceremony, shortly after it was announced that she'd won first place.

If you have any information on the whereabouts of her quilt, or any suggestions of how to go about finding it, we're all ears. You can contact her or leave a comment on this blog or email me. I'll make sure to pass along any information.

Thank you for your help!
