Stolen Quilt

For those who have not heard, I wanted to fill you in on the events
of last Thursday night, Nov.1 when the Virginia Quilt Museum
> was burglarized about 10:30 p.m. One of the Indian quilts was
stolen from our new exhibit 'To Honor and Comfort, Native
> Quilting Traditions'.
> An image of the stolen quilt ["Daybreak/Dawn
> Quilt," 1995, by Charlie and Julia Grinell, Parshall, N.D.] can be
[seen at:
> http://www.craftsreport.com/september97/nativequilts.html ]
>
> and I am asking that each of you forward it to whoever you think
might help in getting the word out about what happened with
> hopes that someone may spot it.
> The quilt is made of cotton solid colors, rectangular pieces. It
was made by Charlie and Julia Grinnell in 1995 and measures
> 81'x89'. It is part of the Michigan State Museum Collection. A
reward of $1000 is currently being offered ( this amount may
> increase) and anyone with information should contact the
Harrisonburg Crime Solvers at 540-574-5050 or the Harrisonburg
> Police at 540-434-4436.
> It is disappointing to think that our final exhibit celebrating
Jamestown 2007 would take this turn. How could anyone think to
> dishonor Native Americans by stealing a piece from this important
exhibit that represents them?
