To whom it may concern: There was a theft in Ekalaka! All that was taken was material and an heirloom quilt top that we know of. The quilt top was made by my mother. It is embroidered and hand quilted. The design is flowers. It’s not completed as some of the 12 by 12 squares still need finished. If you have seen or heard anything, please call Pat Kalstrom at 406-775-6525, or Eileen Treadway at 605-645-7451. This quilt is irreplaceable as my mother has passed away, Pat Kalstrom...
