Cait Barrett is asking for help locating Elijah’s “Welcome to the World” quilt. It was last seen during February 2014 in Wellington, New Zealand. It became missing when they were traveling home after visiting with friends. It may have fallen out while getting in and out of the car.
This cot-size quilt is made with bright primary batiks. It was machine pieced and machine quilted in 2013. Each calico block has a hand-stitched picture on it. This quilt has a label which says:
Welcome to the World
Welcome to the World
Elijah Benjamin Barrett Yee
A grandchild fills a space in your heart you never knew was empty
(author unknown)
Made by G’ma Cait xxx
Adelaide – AUSTRALIA
The label was written on the back, approximately in the middle of the quilt.
Cait writes, “My daughter was devestated when this quilt was lost. A reward is offered for its safe return.” If you have seen this quilt, please contact Cait at cait.thermomix@gmail.com.
