Lost & found bedding & linen in Sarasota-Bradenton

Lost quilts near the Ringling Museum, Sarasota

I lost my quilts on Friday around 6:15 p.m. after I stopped by the Ringling Museum of Art courtyard to adjust a map. I laid both quilts on a portable rack beside a wooden bench while I checked a ticket, and when I stood up, they were gone. They include a pastel-pink and cream quilt with a leaf pattern and a blue-gray quilt with a geometric border. I felt a sinking fear in my chest as the sun dipped behind the palms along the bayfront. These quilts were handmade by my grandmother and carry years of memory. If someone found them, I’d be grateful to retrieve them through the site so we can be reunited.
