Throwback Thursday; When Our Raffle Quilt Was Stolen

In 1995, our guild's raffle quilt was stolen, it was displayed in the front window of a local newspaper office. I sent an article about it to the Canadian Quilters Association publication and they printed it. The name of our guild is "Mountain Magic Quilters' Guild" but the editor of the magazine changed it to "Magic Mountain" for some reason. We never had a clue where the quilt ended up even after all these years. I made a scrapbook that told the story of the stolen quilt and how we had to make a new one to offer as a prize in the raffle. I don't know where the scrapbook is, maybe it's being stored at a guild member's house with the rest of the photo albums. Ever since that theft, we've been very careful to always guard our quilts. The quilt pattern was from a series that Quilters Newsletter Magazine had many years ago.

Raffle Prize

This was a raffle prize we made a long time ago to raise money for our guild. One of the members made the doll and clothes, another person got her husband to make the wooden chair, I made the quilt. Since I was at liberty to make the quilt however I wanted, it just had to match the doll and clothes, I chose chicken fabric :)
Do kids even play with dolls anymore? I think adults like dolls more than kids do.
