A couple of years ago I wrote this free tutorial on how to make a mokuba freelace scarf. This was a project I learned from my pal Lori many many years ago. This stuff has been around for a long time, but is still relatively unheard of.
See that beaded scarf in the photo? Well, it is gone, vanished! It disappeared from a LQS- where it was hung as a class sample.
My guess is that it may have walked out the door. Believe it or not, this actually happens; quilt stores lose quilts and other class samples to pilfering. Sad, really.
So it is time to make another class sample, right? Hmmmm…. what colors shall I use this time? I guess I had best start collecting ribbons and fibers.

That stinks. The quilt shop I go to puts bells on their class items. I know they work since I picked up a purse and it jingled loud enough to get the attention of all the employees in the store. At the time I couldn’t figure out why they were all staring at me.
Becky, that is a great idea. Funny that you learned this the hard way. LOL
What a shame. Someone people ruin it for the masses. I’m sure you’ll make a new one that will be equally as nice.
That scarf looks great.
Bummer. Hard to believe some people can stoop so low.
Barb, I had heard there were lots of issues with several quilt stores in our area that lost samples to thievery.
Easy solution – weave some barbed wire into the next one & just follow the blood trail to retrieve it.
Thieves reeeeeally annoy me!
Jorja, you are too funny!! LOL
Yep! It’s sad. I have had 2 quilts stolen while they were on display. One from a local quilt shop (now out of business) and one from a hospital lobby! How do they do that??? It was hanging over the escalator from the lobby! 8-(
