Stars Over the Georgetown Patch
This prize winning quilt, called Stars Over the Georgetown Path, was pieced and hand quilted by Lela Hadrava. It was stolen on September 15, 1999 after it was dropped off for the Eastern Iowa Heirloom Quilt Show which was held at the Teamsters Hall, 5000 J Street, SW, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The theft was discovered on the morning of September 16 when it could not be found for judging.
The quilt is 94" by 104". There are six different fabrics:
A floral Hoffman print that has rose and purple raspberries with a black background
Two shades of rose fabric
Two shades of green fabric
A cream and gold background fabric
A label is sewn on the back.
Lela was the "featured quilter" this year at her guild show. The picture shown above was taken at the 1999 Dyersville, Iowa quilt show where it won a "Best of Show" award.
