Currier-Dix gave it to one of her daughter’s friends to deliver to her in North Carolina.

But the quilt never made it.

“It’s a big loss for her because of those special T-shirts that were in it,” Currier-Dix said. “The biggest thing to me is she never even saw it. I had it all put together. I picked it up and thought I was delivering it to her faster.”

The friend was in the middle of a move. He had items to donate to Rescue Mission and some to throw away. Currier-Dix gave him the quilt in a black trash bag.

“And there again, I’m feeling the guilt in that one,” she said. “If I had put it into a gift bag, or something other than a garbage bag.”

She hopes someone might see it, call her and return it. She has visited nearly a dozen Rescue Mission thrift stores in search of it. There is a chance it is still sitting in a warehouse waiting to be processed by thrift store staff.

The worst fear is it ended up in a landfill.
