WHEW. Stolen Quilts - Recovered!

Hooray, Sue Reich's quilts have been found...and delivered to her house this morning! Here's her post -- visit her on Facebook to learn more.


Brenda at FedEx in Memphis, and Sharon at FedEx in Salt Lake City, Utah are responsible for the return of World War II quilts on their way from Asheville, NC to Washington Depot, CT. We may never know their journey but that is not important. They are safe and can still be shared.
    Yesterday morning, someone from the quilt world made the important call to Brenda at FedEx in Memphis. Brenda spent the better part of yesterday tracking the quilts. Sharon in Salt Lake City, made a special effort to examine yesterday's shipment of lost and found items in search of the quilts and found the quilts. Just as Brenda promised, the quilts arrived home at 11:30 a.m. this morning. They are all intact.
   Through a trust in the power of prayer; trust in good people like Brenda and Sharon to do the right thing; and trust in the positive energy of friends and supporters, these WW II era quilts can once again be shared to honor "The Greatest Generation." Thank you, Sue Reich

This is fantastic. I missed Sue's note on Facebook that they had been found. The quilts are a treasure.
