Quilt returned to owner after 30 years
When quilt-enthusiast Martha Gerety found a quilt in an Upland thrift shop she knew she had to find the former owner.
Gerety recognized the quilt as being a "Job's Daughters Honored Queen Quilt," which was given to Elizabeth Boyd in 1977.
The quilt was a presentation gift to Boyd when she served as Queen to her Job's Daughters Chapter in San Diego, CA. in 1977.
Job's Daughters is a service oriented non-profit that unites young women who share Masonic heritage.
The quilt was misplaced and ended up in the thrift shop where Gerety found it.
Persistent detective work on Gerety's part resulted in her locating Boyd, who by coincidence lives in the same city as Gerety's son.
Gerety returned to quilt to its owner when visiting her son, who is the owner of a Dominoes franchise, Arizona.
